  • MORRIS DANCING ON LSD!

  • The first section is solo drills. My interpretation is that it's meant to teach movements and muscle memory, as well as fluidity and linkage of techniques. The actual attacks against another person are in another section "The play between two".

    The sword is an Albion Duke (a little short for the style of swordsmanship, but I like its feel and weight.

  • Oh, by the bye, which Albion is that? It's hard to make out in the video. I've bought a couple swords from those folks and they're nothing but top shelf. Wish I had the money to get a few of their newer models!

  • I haven't given the Harleian more than a glance before, but nice video. Judging from your wrist and elbow movements, I take it you interpret the first section as more of a flourysh than combat techniques? Many of these techniques occur in German and Italian fencing, but the body mechanics are different when used against an opponent. Also, when you do what in German would be a zwerch, are you striking with the flat?

  • Very well done. Most impressive.
