I'm not really happy how this video turned out since the camera angle is bad and I see technical faults and lack of energy in many of the exercises.
But I decided to make this public anyway so that I might get feedback, and this might be a useful reference to some beginners and it will also be good for comparing how the material will develop over time.
These exercises are drawn from various sources and some are my own, and the general idea is to provide exercises that render the body more able to perform the actions of Bolognese swordplay the way I see it.

I’ve been using this routine for a couple months now and I’ve noticed a huge difference in not only my footwork but my confidence in movement. Thanks for such a great video! Footwork is underratedz

I was made aware of my lack of fitness by this routine.

I am glad I found this. I have been trying to find nice HEMA footwork drills. I have a broken rib and can't practice much else right now.

Man footwork is so underrated when it's the most essential for the rest. Great job man!

A lot of people make fun of good stretchers... it doesn't matter what it looks like, whatever loosens you up!

I do this everyday during my lunch break at work for a quick way to get my heart rate going and increase flexibility.

It looks like some of these exercises would be applicable to earlier rapier styles that emphasize stepping offline & circular movement.

I have learned from all of your videos. Your footwork is amazing. Why don't you try explaining some of the concepts or principles behind the movements?

Not necessarily -- I think these are quite universal. For rapier I would do different ones.

Would you change any of the exercises if you weren't training bolognese but instead the german longsword?

Did some of this come from Chinese martial arts? At first I thought it was definitely superficial, but your stretches here are including some things that are treated as explicitly Chinese and somewhat controversial in practice and application these days! I know this was a while ago, but was there any connection that you know?
