This week at Crossing Fight School, we will continue our look into Hans Medel’s Longsword material, which is already proving both interesting and informative. His advice on how to proceed, at least so far, is an eye-opening take on how to control the pace of an exchange and suddenly sieze initiative from your opponent.

If what we’ve seen so far is any indication, we can expect to see other novel devices and techniques as we make our way through the text.

See you all on Sunday.
