Preliminary interpretation of Fustus Agrestus (Peasant's staff) fighting page 3-5. From Paulus Hector Mair.
This video was shot at the Noorderwind training facility in Utrecht (NL). Fighting Hippy: Reinier van Noort. Mr. WannaT: Mark Verschoor.
Video of our still quite preliminary, Work in Progress interpretation of the Peasant's staff techniques described by Paulus Hector Mair. This video (again intended mainly for internal use), contains corrected versions of our interpretations of pages 3 and 4, and our interpretation of page 5. Please note that the footwork in the last attack of page 5 is incorrect.
Awesome! Page 3 looks a lot tighter now and demonstrates the most energy out of all three plays in the video. I can understand why you would instinctively take a step backward at the end of play 5. Nobody wants to poke their friend in the face with a giant stick, and that is exactly what would have happened if you had stayed put. Of course, that is what SHOULD happen in a real fight, but most of us like to keep our training buddies around. ;-)
