1:07 Holding a longsword like that isn't as easy as it looks! lol

seriously though, how do you know all this, is it authentic to how they may have used a long sword in battle back in centuries when it was the weapon of choice, has the knowledge been passed down or have you just found a book on the subject, i love the idea that the art has been kept alive, passed down generation to generation

my neighboors keep playing their music too loud, thanks for the lesson, it's been invaluable

I have found it's easier to thrust from horizontal and block/parry in vertical

No problem -- thanks for asking! :-)

Did I meet you? In a Fiore class? You study the German's style, don't you?

It's entirely possible, though it would have been a while ago probably. Where/when/with whom have you taken Fiore classes? And where are you located?

Isn't the cross guard supposed to be more or less horizontal instead of vertical as shown here?

There are images that suggest both, and I've seen enough tactical examples across the tradition that suggest that horizontal, diagonal, and vertical angles are all potentially important. If you know of a source that says that it should be exclusively horizontal, I'd be interested in hearing about it.
