The Zornhau (Outdated Interpretations)

Fuck if this video does not show clearly just how deadly the sword dance can be...........

well we can see a lot of knowledge here and lack of it would have been costly

You got my interest as I am becoming more interested in European martial arts aside from the Oriental styles almost being thrown in our faces in my neighborhood.
Is the book from a German longsword fighting book?
Where did the book originate?

There are about 60 fencing manuals from the middle ages and renaissance in the German tradition, written mostly from 1389 to 1570. They are for the most part written by masters who were in the tradition started by Johannes Leichtenauer in the mid 1300's. Other European nations have similar written records (look up Fiore dei Liberi, Salvator Fabris, Pietro Monte, and George Silver for example) . There are also interpretations/translations of the old manuals written by modern people.

Theese are nice videos... but why in each and every demonstration, the weapon techniques for which are being demonstrated is asumed to be used against the same kind of weapon?

Thank you. We are re-creating specific techniques from the historical fencing books, most of which deal with like-weapons usage. This seems to mainly be due to the rules of the judicial duel, which require like-weapons for each combatant. However, there are some techniques that deal with mismatched weapons, and we'll be doing a video on them eventually...

So much just became clear to me.
Thank you for the demonstration.

And where did you get your weapons from?

Thank you.

There swords we use in this video are from "Arms and Armor" and "Albion Swords".

You are a rare and precious commodity. Not to mention few know that the term martial arts can refer to arts outside of the orient. My respects.

Thanks!

Okay, I understand. Thanks, and same to you!
