I like the fact you included some transitions as well. Nicely done.

Hello first thanks for the videos they are really helpfull, so i have been reading the Art of combat by Joachim Meyer translated by Jeffrey L. Forgeng and the four chief guards are almost the same except for Zornhaw which in the book is replaced for Plow(Pflug) and i dont know if its another way to call it or something, like von dach or von tag please i would really aprecciate the help here, thank you in advance

thx....my fault...Zornhut is not a Chief Guard...you are fully right to replace it with Pflug.... ;)

i guess i had mixed it up with the chief strikes.... Zorn Guard /Zorn strike xD

@ No problem, btw amazing vids and thank you for answering =).

[@IronLotus-k1n]

Is there any chance you could get a lefty to show some techniques? I love your videos but I have a bit of trouble envisioning what it would look like with the right hand near the pommel, especially in some of the more complex maneuvers.

What brand of Feder are you using please?

[@kamilszadkowski8864]

Wow, your socks looks like tyrant's. It's a good sign I guess. It was indeed nice that you included transitions to shown guards. Keep the good work.

[@y-callos3970]

these videos are great! what is the name of your intro music? cheers

[@TheGunguy461]

Can you add the English names? I'm flipping through The Art of Sword Combat: A 1568 German Treatise on Swordmanship and it's frustrating having to look up every word to find.

Im uploading a new guard vid very soon...with engl. guard names!

[@TheGunguy461]

@ Thank you!

[@TheGunguy461]

@ You can also add subtitles to this one. Obviously there's no talking, but you should be able to add whatever subtitles you want. If you do several languages, this would let your videos appeal to a wider audience. Also, for the transitions, do you mind putting the name of both guards? This will really help newbs like me.
