earned sub, solid stuff

Great work! I think the sequence looks really fluid. Solid execution all around. One point to consider is the start. It says that you start in the vor, so you are initiating the exchange. Threatening with the thrust can force them from a position like tag or zornhut. If they go aggressive by cutting into your thrust. Most of those cuts can be countered by the following zwirchhau. Doing a thrust against someone cutting in with a powerful cut from zornhut might work, but feels a bit dangerous.

@@TheMarkehed yep totally see you point I think my interpretation is the thrust is there to make them think they have a advantage only to be met with a short or back edge zwirchhau to their left. So it might look like one is trying to land a thrust but it's just there to open up or force the opponents move. this instance is a powerful zornhut. This is just my thoughts on it, and we tend to change and adapt the plays in class to find what works best in modern sparring. I actually used this at the end of the session when we spared but instead of trying to land the cut after the thrust I Feigned it and landed the second instead just to confuse them. Hope this was a better insight to my thought process.

Tip for video commentary I learned quick, try talking like how you talk to your students in the next clip in the gym. Or in my case, how I talk about games to my friends. Other than that small hopefully constructive critique, great video anyway.
