@YajimaKenji Hi Kenji. I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Every movement has an application, as a deflection, re-direction, bind, cut, or strike. I am not much of a videographer. I don't think I'm trying to show off, but then again, this is a video posted on YouTube......the point here ...

  @jeshuran70 OK, I watched very closely my practice today, and it was a sunny day, but yes, I think I've developed a serious blinking problem. Oh boy. Thanks for pointing that out, jeshuran, I'll be taking appropriate steps, even if it involves toothpicks on the eyelids. Cheers.

  @Westcentingas (2) ...a different sort of shield I'd imagine. I find more people are interested in the use of the center-gripped shield (more widely used) than people are interested in examining the arm-strapped heater from a HEMA perspective. This is of course due to a lack of sources, but also,...

  @Westcentingas (1)Cool. There's an interesting article on Anglo-Saxon shield construction from a Richard Underwood in a recent collection of essays entitled 'The Cutting Edge'. Based on their reconstruction efforts, what you say sounds very true indeed. Maybe of interest to you, although a bit ou...

  @Westcentingas Thanks very much. The next video I'd like to post will feature some of the plays of sword and shield in a very clear demonstration. This is really just some crazy solo practice strung together, but hopefully the next video will inspire people with a bit more detail on the technique...

  @Westcentingas Hi there. Yeah, this is the greatest band in the world, Juno Reactor, and the track is Tanta Pena off the Gods and Monsters CD. They scored a lot of Matrix music, which I feel changed their sound a bit. Gods and Monsters was not a bad disc, but my personal favorite is Beyond the In...

  @jeshuran70 & @fardanio : Krav Maga is a very valid and interesting system, however, I don't think debating the merits of Krav Maga belongs on my video. I invite you to discuss Krav Maga together more privately. Jeshuran, you may be right about the blinking, however, in the room in which this vid...

  @GOBRAGH2 (2) .....Yeah, it's a shame that we have so much historical information on the longsword, but not very much at all on sword and shield. Still, there are a handful of people around the world working on really solid extrapolations from what we do have. I hope someday I'll have a full syst...

  @GOBRAGH2 (1)Thanks for the nice compliment. The drills in this video are a bit odd in that there are so many actions in such a short space of time; it's great if you feel the attacks are paced together in such a way as to make things difficult for an attacker. However, in an engagement, usually ...

  Yeah, nice to see Sensei Marr again. His Unsu was always quite amazing, too. Growing up with Karate all your life + putting in a lot of hard work on top of it + being an all around decent guy = amazing karate.

  @valentinsebastian Danke fur die netten anmerkungen. Leider ist die qualitat dieser video nicht so gut. Weil es vom 'sparring' ist, ist es ein bischen schwer die techniken zu sehen. Im zukünft hoffe ich einen video bekanntzugeben (?) der spezifischeren techniken fur mittelalterlicher schwerdt und...
