Antonius Rast's Staff Techniques

[@davidyule3770]

Good job. Greetings from Spain.

[@BS-bd5uq]

Finally! A new update! I've been waiting for this so long. You have the rarest HEMA intrepretation video on youtube.

✨👍

I absolutely love your videos! The one about "techniques with the pollaxe" is burned into my memory, I can "rewatch" it before my inner eye, and I didn't watch it, like, a million times. I don't know what it exactly is, but your work definitely stands out. Btw. from what manual is this? I am a great fan of the staff and this looks very promising!

[@MEMAG]

Thank you for your kind words! The manual is Antonius Rast's "Reichsstadt "Schätze" Nr. 82 (1553)"

I would like to see this used in a full contact sparring situation, especially the disarm, Not set up like these techniques, but a real free for all.

[@Stalfos85]

Great video! I had to watch the disarm at 1:15 about twenty times to understand exactly what was going on there. The execution was extremely satisfying to behold. Keep up the variety of weapons, there's a shortage of good demos. It would be nice to see examples of mixed weapons, such as longsword v sword & buckler, though I understand there is substantially less information on this type of thing in the manuscripts.

[@user-zn4is8no7z]

Its not as satisfying if you do a count. You'll notice in the time it takes for them to take a step(count that as 1), she takes three motions during the time that he just stands there. We have to remember these moves were written down with a bit of flare, so I hardly see that this would work in real combat.

[@pirotess2]

A great update!! BTW, how about the techniques that spear against sword?

[@blancsteve4819]

You make these moves look so easy. I would like to see several versions of the same move. Perhaps a body camera and slomo. Like the music too. Please give credit to the artist so that others may discover it.
