German rappier
Gentle Readers,
Last nights class went pretty well. I had the foresight to do a bit more
reading in other sections of the book so as to clarify a couple if the
footwork questions I had. To be honest, I was pretty unsure the action would
work well given the timing. However it did even with the extra movement. The
stepping under the incoming attack was a bit nervous making but it still
worked. The timing has a lot in common with the timing of some of the aikido
sword sequences I did. I guess there really is only one art of the sword.
Overall the level of synchronicity within the german sword work is
fascinating. I really wish I knew more about the german grappling to know if
it carries through like fiore does.
Speaking of such, I'm selling some books. Details to be added when I am not
using a phone.
