How to avoid hand hits with a longsword? - Workshop [ENG & GER]

In this workshop I show a few common errors that lead to hand hits with the longsword and how to avoid them. If you are a longtime follower of Matt Easton’s Scholagladiatoria channel, you should recognize quite a few of these tips, but I tried my best to add new exercises and additional pointers. :) This was recorded during the 1st Potsdamer Fechtschule, a monthly event for workshops, exchange, sparring and just having fun.
