I’ve only done longsword for about 6 months now, I’ll be honest I’m not very good at it, but finding exercises like this to do by myself are helpful. I’m training for a fight with my friend who works at medieval times.

Thank you for making this. I've been doing each day during isolation

Man, your video is awesome, and should be a must see content for every longsword ppl who want to solo train.

started training with Adelaide Sword Academy in the last week during a trial period, thoroughly loved it and will continue learning for a long time. these workouts help keep my mind focused on learning the longsword while i cant make it to classes. much appreciated mark!

Very good workout, thank you😀

Great, will practise it at home! helo from Russia =)

I've been doing Bo staff spinning exercises with a 5.5 foot aluminum walking stick. It lacks the heft of a wooden Bo but I can use it at high speed, which causes a gratifying whooshing sound through the air. If I hold it at one end, the opposite end moves even faster. I've recently been practicing various longsword cutting moves with the intention of using them as striking attacks with my stick. The tricky part is not dragging or hitting the ground with my stick (because of its length). This is for the exercise benefits and possibly for self defense against the aggressive dogs in my area. So far, I've deterred these dogs with a demonstration of spins and sword attack moves (striking the dogs was unnecessary). - I'm looking forward to doing your 20 min workout with my walking stick.

Thanks you You make my work out with bokken much more fun.

Just learned zwerchau at my school in Nashville and have been struggling with the biomechanics. This video is a great way for me to work on those factors by myself outside of class. Thank you for sharing!!

Really good video. Will cast this to my tv and follow along.

Very good video. Thank You !! I'll use some exercises for my students : )

Iv been looking for something like this. Thank you. Do you have anymore simalar videos?

Could you write this down, or post a script of every transition, and roughly how long or how many reps per exercise

I m like because using the legs that is important, sorry for my english

Can you do this with a piece of rebar wrapped with hockey tape if kept regularly oiled?
