seems like a rather useless and confusing diagram, it's much easier to remember the pattern without it anyway, so what's the purpose?

Start outwards. 1, 2, 3, 4. Then next row inwards. 1, 2, 3, 4. Just because you don't understand it, doesn't mean it's useless.

I don't know man, your movement looks weird to me. It looks unnatural and uncomfortable. Or probably it was just the sword was being too long to your body?

@yourworstnightmare1488 3 ай бұрын

what about stabs?

@MauriceBooij 3 ай бұрын

That's a different thing, so it gets a different drill. Though: the aim of the cuts in this cutting drill, as designed by Meyer in the 16th century, is to close off the opposing line of attack with your secondary strike. So as long as you do make sure that the line of attack gets closed properly with your own offensive actions, you can definitely incorporate thrusts. In fact; any time you find yourself slightly out of range; using the cutting motion to close off the line does perfectly set up a thrust with opposition.

Maurice, I've been practicing Hema in a school that teaches Meyers longsword now for about 4 months. Im using your videos to practice drills, which have been excellent, by the way. However, im curious why you're no longer making videos? The quality is supurb and very helpful/informative.

@MauriceBooij 7 ай бұрын

Indeed! But Joachim Meyer has his own personal definitions of those strikes, that are not necessarily the same as in other, earlier manuals. Hence the choice in this video to use the generic terms, as used in manuscripts for roughly 100 years before Meyer started doing his own thing; to keep it simple for a broad audience :)

@thormusique Жыл бұрын

I love this, thank you! It's a wonderfully clear explanation of the pattern and variations. Here's a silly question, though: If you're left-handed (like me), would it be best to flip the numbers of the Meyer Square to begin on the left, etc.? Cheers!

@MauriceBooij Жыл бұрын

You totally could! Then again; the second half of the pattern is basically from the 'left handed' perspective, so you'll be practising that anyways. (Personally I love training patterns like this with both hands, anyways, not just to get good with both hands, but to learn and see a fight in terms of lines, angles and principles...)

can someone explain the short edge and long edge strikes?

@MauriceBooij Жыл бұрын

What would you like to know?

@rackety7797 Жыл бұрын

@@MauriceBooij what’s the difference? Does it refer to which edge you’re striking with?

@MauriceBooij Жыл бұрын

@@rackety7797 Exactly! The original medieval German sources tend to refer to the edges as the long edge and the short edge, but in modern English also the phrases 'true' and 'false' edge are used. The Long/True edge is the edge on the side of your fingers, if you were to stretch out your hand. The Short/False edge is the edge near your thumb/wrist. So any simple descending cut, for instance, will be done with a long edge strike. A useful mnemonic: In curved blades, such as sabres, this inside curve is indeed shorter than the outside curve.

If you have trouble remembering which is which, pretend your longsword is a pirate scimitar, a saber, a katana, or some other curved blade.

I noticed the steps and footwork are away from the direction of the cut, this reduces power, but this best to maintain balance?

@MauriceBooij 2 жыл бұрын

It is mostly because of the angle that it creates, creating a more useful line of attack, and with the blade covering the centre line; protecting the body that stays outside. In actual fights, this sideward footwork can become rather small, but since it's something we don't do on a daily basis (we walk in straight lines, usually), it pays to train it in exaggerated forms.

can you supply an image of the drill we can print out for the wall?

@eulenspiegel6689 2 жыл бұрын

This is a good explanation of the Meyersquare. However, I noticed something and have a small objection. When doing this exercise, keep the point of the sword pointed at your opponent whenever possible. After every stroke you always end up in the plow or ox (Pflug oder Ochs) For example, if you cut a right Oberhau, then you can of course pull the blow through to the boar's tooth, but that does not threaten the opponent with the point and you are also not protected by your own sword. It makes more sense to cut into the left plow. Shortly after you have passed the long point position with the blow, you simply pull your left arm up against your bodys. In principle, the blow is absorbed by the right arm, which is pulled towards the body. The right forearm hits the lower body lightly, which stops the blow. Now all you have to do is move your arms forward a little and you are already standing in the left plow and you can stab straight to the long point. Wile standing in plowguard you have two options. You can cut an undercut to the right ox position. Or you first wind from the left plow into the left ox and then cut the undercut in the right ox. Try to stab either from plow or ox after each stroke to make this exercise a little more challenging and you will see what I mean. That is actually the idea of this exercise. One is supposed to learn the basic strokes while constantly building a threat with the tip of the sword. Greetings from Germany to all HEMA friends out there.

@MauriceBooij 2 жыл бұрын

You mean like explained at 4:08?

@eulenspiegel6689 2 жыл бұрын

So similar. Only in our school we had to make sure, that we didn't move our right wrist down too far when we strike an Oberhau into the plowguard. We called this mistake the "broken wrist position.“ In the final position after the Oberhau, the angle of the wrist in relation to the forearm should not be more than max. 45 degrees. Pay attention to the position of the right wrist in the plow or long point. The wrist is never stretched too far forward. (It's only a minor thing, but your wrist will thank you in a long run)
