Interesting......it's the same as a roof block and and snake disarm from from the Filipino Martial Arts. Universality of practical human movement. This is good stuff.

Exactly! These universal motions that are inherent in all combat-weathered systems is what I and the Co-Founders of Integrated Combative Concepts had done through 17 years of research (each of us beforehand having decades of experience); we have sieved through 1,420+ MA systems and have determined the most common and workable Universal Combat Motions ("U-You C-See M-'Em") as they are found in CQC. I love to see others make such connections.

@mojothemigo Those are just Talhoffer's illustration of them. If you watch MEMAG's "Four Sources on Messer Combat" that have plays from Hans Talhoffer, Paulus Kal, Codex Wallerstein, and Sigmund Emring, you can see a variety in the illustrations. A langes messer is a long knife, so there'll be just as much variation as their is in smaller knives.

Very nice. By practice and study we keep the European Art alive.

COOL! Question though, I noticed the drawings use strait blades except for the clipped and bellied last 2-3 inches of the sword. They look almost entirely like a normal single handed broadsword except for single edge and again, the tip. Did people back then use Messers (and falchions) With more belly at the end like you were using?

Where can I find this stuff?!

You guys always have the best music.

@MrPotatoesLatkie The song is called "totus floreo", but I can't find the artist who made it. I like this version more than any other. If you can find this artist, please tell me :3

Oh shit, now that song is stuck in my head.
OH, OH, TOTUS FLOREO

@Mandolinplayer15 Of course it sounds a bit different. It's not German. It sounds very much like modern Portuguese, actually.
