This week at Crossing Fight School, we will dive deeper into the complex collection of Longsword plays from Paulus Hector Mair.

As some of you already know, Mair has an extensive section devoted to Longsword, and the plays are both lengthy and complex. Since they don’t necessarily translate directly to sparring as they’re written, we will be distilling them down into their more essential elements and focusing on the lessons we can learn from harnessing the core principles of each.

His collection is replete with a number of devices rarely found elsewhere in KDF, so this promises to be an eventful series of classes.

See you all on Sunday.
