Four Sections From Codex Wallerstein's Ringen

Our youngest student throws around his instructors.

[@SoarswithSwords]

I love that you used a young student. That really shows how effective these all can be no matter the size of your opponent.

[@dementeduncle]

Excellent, thanks for sharing. Many of these moves live on in current grappling arts - we stand on the shoulders of those who've walked the path before.

[@wariscoming.]

nice ! so happy you guy's are still going, keep up the good work \m/

[@MEMAG]

@kaindrg We currently have schools in Salisbury, MD and Pennsauken, NJ.

[@MEMAG]

@xkiarofl Yes, this is training. We will try to get some sparring videos up in the future.

[@Komaru.89]

@sailorbarsoom Indeed! Several of these techniques are ones my brother learned in his MMA Kickboxing class. Good techniques get around and stay around !

[@MEMAG]

A rotation of the hips will either break the elbow or cause a throw.

[@DRIinDorchester]

Nice job, Jacob- Congrats MEMAG on another great video!

[@zrodn001]

very well made video good job!

[@ChishioAme]

@schizoidboy To put it simply, there's only so many ways you can move the body and remain effective; this applies to swordsmanship, too. For instance, the throw at 1:18 looks a lot like the tomoe nage (suicide/sacrifice throw) from Judo, while a master of the Japanese sword once commented that some techniques from the German longsword looked quite similar to some high level stuff of theirs. So, really, many things will seem similar when they all strive for efficiency.

[@haffoc]

very nicely done. Ringen is great.

[@hotspurschool]

Very, very nice! Well done to your young student!

[@cortx2lh]

Oooh, shoes in the mat... it hurts! Great video.

[@girlsaurus]

Very nice, keep it up.

[@chreberle]

Great stuff! Greetings from Germany.

[@georgevranos8618]

GREAT JOB GUYS @

[@infokemp]

@MEMAG Are you planning any schools in England? Great video - I am learning a lot. All the best David

[@edi9892]

These things really work, not like the modern WWE chokeslams etc. Nevertheless the bigger guy seemed to be a bit too compliant. A good move should either utilyze leverage or motivate the enemy to follow (if not he will have something broken).

[@falsefight]

Aha! Didnt see the arm lock. Thanks.

[@schizoidboy]

How does this compare with Asian styles are there some similarities or are there a lot of differences? All the same it looks pretty interesting.

[@kaindrg]

Where do u guys teach

[@JohanNederhof]

Super !!!!

[@EstilosMarciales]

simple y efectiva

[@jpf338]

Fucking nice, as always i love the music!!

[@SailorBarsoom]

Thank you for this! Yes, some of this looked a bit "judo-esque," if I can mix languages like that. But then how could it not? The human body is put together a certain way, and certain moves are going to be more effective than others. So any system that's any good will have some similarities to any other system that's any good. I like the way some of the older knowledge is being rediscovered.

[@happykharl]

very interesting thank you

[@falsefight]

at 2:02, where does the power come from?

[@doktordanomite9105]

Chase B when i do it i use my hips but often folks try to charge it witch only makes it easier

[@francismitchell9320]

He's holding the arm just below the elbow, so that technique is an arm break. The other is throwing himself forward to protect his elbow.

[@Thorwolf99]

***** nice

[@Madevil8]

Nice

[@jomess7879]

this vid goes to show taht even a smaller weaker teen can toss a bigger stronger adult with proper mechanics

[@Chrominance87]

it must suck to have to do this with someone half your size.
