Counterthrusting - Yongyak Iljase [Jedok Geom Techniques]

[@RoninTF2011]

Much like "Absetzen" when using the longsword

[@DarkwarriorJ]

I like this interpretation. Every objection I can think of on the spot is easily fixed by small tweaks for the situation. Strong on weak, whilst your point finds the opponent and the step makes for good geometry. Are there any techniques for initiating successfully, or is your source primarily framed in terms of responses to opponent actions?

Can you make a video on binds in eastern swordsmanship or is there too little info on it?

[@JustaBug]

With regards to binds, I think they were very common in eastern swordsmanship, but the texts I work from are the Korean ones in muyedobotongji which are single person forms. Bit hard to show a bind in a single person practice form. There are a few techniques that don't really work without the bind unless you interpret them as suicidal attacks which I don't think is the correct interpretation. But I guess the real question would be what do you want to know about eastern swordsmanship binds? I can try and make a vid or a blog post on the topic if there's enough to talk about

@@JustaBug ig the fundamentals/examples of it, how it differs from HEMA. I'm asking cuz longswords seem to excel in longer ranges and short ranges while the katana only seems to have an advantage in the midrange. At least in sparring vids i seen

[@JustaBug]

@@thfkmnIII if that's what your asking about then I probably can't help. We use a jedok geom which is longsword length. I don't have a huge amount of experience with actual katana techniques. The binding techniques you see in longsword work almost the same with jedok geom
