Joachim Meyer’s Sidesword: Parrying Techniques - Part II

In this video we cover the basic techniques of parrying described in Meyer’s 1570 Sidesword/Rapier treatise. This is not intended to be a complete disassembly of each technique, rather it is a generalised overview with some consideration of important points in the movement. This is the second video in our series covering the techniques and principles of parrying in the context of Meyer’s system. In this Video: - Hanging (Verhengen) - Taking out with the Short Edge (Ausnemen mit Halber Schneid) - Striking out with Hanging Blade (Auschlagen mit Hangender Kling) - Barring (Sperren) See part 1 at:
