This technique, though from the Lichtenauer parts of the Von danzig manuscript, is seen in many places in many different versions, including Fiore. The particular interest is the use of the Hengen over the sword binding outside the guard of the defender, displacing with the Twerhau.
The Twerhau suddenly crops up, as it is not specifically described for horseback and is used in similar places as Taschenhau, here the author clearly assumes a continuity of the techniques on foot to what is done on horseback.
to make this technique work the gripping methods are really quite important as is edge alignment.
also, note that it is very likely to drop the sword being disarmed and you should be very careful not to perturb any horses when you do this technique, playing with safe wasters first is much recommended.
also small mistakes are easily made, so pushing the blade into your own face is quite easily done, before you get the hang of it.
We apologize for the lack of lapel mikes and the fencers wearing similar uniforms coats and all riding grey horses. We aim to remedy this in future videos, but we could not change this on the short term
since we make these videos completely besides a crazy busy schedule, we cannot afford to invest into equipment and software for a few more months.
one of the videos has taken over a year to make, so we are churning them out quicker now, but some of these things fall by the wayside as a result.
