This week at Crossing Fight School, we’ll be looking at the few remaining stances and plays from Hans Medel, beginning with his 5th. Some of these plays will involve Abschneiden, an often-overlooked technique which, if executed properly, can control an opponent’s sword almost entirely. I expect this treatise to be wrapped up completely over the next week or two, so we’ll get everything we can from his material before bringing this all to a close.

After this finally runs its course, we’ll be having a few classes on some alternate weapons before moving on to another source.

See you all on Sunday.
