Nice work. If you would allow one small quibble, the ready positions you often adopt before the engagement do not appear to be consistent with what is either described or depicted in the manuals in that your hands are extended too far in front of you. In Meyer, for instance, the left hand is described always as being held upon the chest. The dagger hand also is held farther back. In Talhoffer the left hand is on the thigh, the hip or behind the back. Well done tho.

@haffoc Thanks for feedback, These are quite old interpretations and we have already noticed that hand too far in front. In my opinion the position of armed hand is different for every fencer. Its not important how far behind you it is. Its only about your natural position you can attack without moves that are showing your opponent what and when you are going to do.

very good work! i've never seen the dagger leg hook and throw demonstrated to my satisfaction before, but this is great.

Thank you guys for responses. I'm very happy that you like it. This is only technique demonstration. Soon, I'll upload a dagger sparring or combat video. We are working hard on it.

Super display, very good angles of the camera too. Many new tricks to learn :-)
