- Late last year I had shoulder surgery so haven't been able to put together any videos; I did manage to patch together bits of video footage I'd previously captured to explore and interesting technique; Absetzen.
Meyer's longsword Absetzen is starkly different from the classical version in earlier Liechtenauer glosses... or is it? By unpacking the versions provided across both Longsword and Rappier (and variations on them) we'll explore an approach to both Absetzen, and Meyer's system as a whole, that takes large simple to learn movements and refines them into a more linear system suitable for cut and thrust.
This highlights my own take on Meyer, and is a great way to train, and also makes Meyer quite effective in a variety of contexts.
ARE ARE SO GOOD AT GIVING PERFECTLY CLEAR AND LOGICAL EXPLANATIONS TO THE MOVES, MUCH APPRECIATED!!
love the video as always.
The way you put together this video is amazing, the attention to detail is crazy
I found the bigger absetzen a very good set up for oben abnehmen.
Fantastic breakdown, Daniel, these videos are really appreciated <3
Good video!
Meyer is the best way to learn systematically and refine the basics.
Amazing video ! Thanks.
Thank you so much -- I've been trying to describe just this idea for awhile now and it's great to hear it articulated and pictured so coherently! (We're one of those ALL THE BOOKS KdF clubs.)
Another great video. Thanks Dan.
That's a great video. Well thought through and useful. Thanks.
Excellent video, thank you!
This is great!
I loved that.
Hope your recovery is going well!
We had the same approach in kendo, starting from broad motions and then progressively narrowing them to fencing style movements.
WOW, what a video! Thank you so much! I am a very beginner (noob) but the part from
Your videos are little gems of knowledge !
I wonder if Meyer emphasized a cutting version of the absetzen for longsword to avoid thrusting with that weapon, since he mentions thrusting is frowned upon when he is writing. It seems to be more permissible with the rapier?
