Lecküchner's ZWINGER: A Quick Case Study

[@andyedwards9222]

Another excellent demonstration. Would like some accompanying explanation and thoughts about the actions.

¡Impresionante! Awesome!. Great technical moves

[@SixDeadZeroHEMA]

Interesting. This gives great insight into the function of this cut, both for single handed and two handed use. Even the name is helpful - I never thought of a schielhau as a swinging motion, always treated it more like a push. I will apply this idea going forwards!

[@die.freifechter]

Not sure if the name is too helpful, the german word has nothing to do with the word "swinging". Zwinger translates best to either "compelling haw" or as the german word for the outer ward of a castle/fortress - and since Lecküchner is a fan of those fortification/battlement-names I'd probably go with the latter. -Ulrik

Looks similar to Schielhau

[@Druid_Ignacy]

Its the same, Leckuchner just wanted own names

[@die.freifechter]

It is the same concept, yes. Just with a Messer instead of a longsword. :)

Is this not just absetzehn?

[@die.freifechter]

There is a certain resemblance, but in execution it's not the same. The Zwinger is a Hau, Absetzen usually is more of a thrusting motion. Our attacks in this video are almost not as "buffalo"-ish as described in Lecküchner's text, so the division between the two can get a bit blurry. -Ulrik
