Much like using a buckler in that you push towards their centre thus creating a greater cone a defence as opposed to sideways which allows them to disengage,great explanation,luv how you focus on concepts and tactics 😊

You explain this so well even an amateur like myself can understand the major points you are explaining. Thanks!

Could you give us a source for your definition of Masse? It makes sense but I wanna know more. Great video as always!!

Codex Wallerstein says it really clearly, somewhere in the beginning of the longsword section. Might be the first play around Zornhau or something.

Could i download your training videos? We dont have internet in our training ground. We would give you some credit for it if possible

oh! i am cool with thaat, i just don't know how to technically accomodate it. can you rip it off youtube? KZfaq prime allows a download, so that you can have it there, but it tends to be in a little lower resolution

You misunderstand the lateral pressure idea your arguing against. The point James is making is that the opponent can’t disengage ‘in the moment’ they are putting pressure into the sword. What you’ve demonstrated in the beginning of this video is a durchwexeln with the opponent not actually trying to take the center or “go strong”

but when durchwechseln you always go soft, because you leave the bind, so that would be by definition the case. the pressure to move to durchwechseln can be remarkably 'collapsy'... where the bind seems to collapse where the opponent however enhances his structure and already poses a threat, using the rotational movement to move the hilt and base of the blade towards the opponent whilst taking the last half or so off the bind. This is not that dissimilar to abnehmen, in that you try to make your opponent push into the bind until they drop off your sword as you take it off. This can be done in a circular fashion too, in the form of various durchwechseln. moreover when someone is pushing sideways with the point pointing so far off to the side you can durchwechseln very easily, because your point is going to drop further than intended, this is due to how the body moves to the side, with the tensed and flexed wrist, the contracted elbows and having a ridgid straight structure from the shoulder to the tip of the sword. If you move the tip of the sword over without turning the whole body pointing off too but leaving the 'through' movement of the body to carry on with the next movement it is far more valid. It is a mistake to think that ridgidity is stronger in a fight, apart from stronger it is not easily moved or redirected. There is the skeletal alignment, but there is also which muscle train you have engaged and which is set up for reflex under pressure from your opponent and so forth. a lot of this stuff comes from a complete construct as to how the zorn is done not as a strike to the target, that the text says it should be. The posture with the point having to come out is derived from there. (or at least that is where i know it from 10-15 years ago (don't quite remember) Anyway the lack of strike threat or forward momentum or thrust from the feet is a key part in understanding this. 'why do you not wrestle'? is always a key question Winding is a really good way to open the door for a Durchlaufen or whatever. Preventing the wrestle from developing might be a key consideration on how to conduct the edel krieg. Also don't forget that winding explicitly includes cuts.
