This week at Crossing Fight School, we will be reviewing the Zwerchhau, as outlined in Lew’s Longsword.

We will be not only be looking into the multiple applications of this versatile cut, but also the many things may stem from its use. The binds it creates can lead to any of the 3 Wounders (cuts, stabs, and slices), and knowing which to deploy and when is one of the critical skills we need to train into our fencing in order to maintain (or regain) initiative.

The importance of this cut and all things related to it cannot be overstated, so this is a class that is not to be missed.

See you all on Sunday.
