#krumphau

[longswordsinlondon]

Krump quickly and throw the Ort on his hands [...] Here learn and know that the Krumphau is an Oberhau which is done in a bent manner with a good step to one side.This is why Liechtenauer says whoever wants to execute this strike, should step well to the right side while striking and shall throw or thrust the point over the hilt of the adversary onto his hands.

Since I’ve been on a roll with shitty explanatory art. Here’s angles and distances in the Krumphau to the hands vs Langort 101. Blade and arm lengths are more or less measured, so the geometry works xD

Ciąg dalszy nauki #kunstdesfechtens Dalej kombinuję z ciosem mistrzowskim #krumphau (a w zasadzie z patentami, które można wykonać, gdy nie pójdzie on po naszej myśli). Przy okazji testuję miecz treningowy od @aureusswords - model Swoosh Alexander II, który doskonale odzwierciedla odczucia jak przy pracy mieczem bojowym. Partnerem treningowym jest ponownie Krystian Jordanek.

If you want to strike a krumphau to the hands safely, I think it should done in such a manner that when you hit his hands, you still have time to parry afterwards so that the initial strike does not reach you. Thus, krumphau is based on a victory in time difference. Your strike has to land clearly before your opponent’s strike even has a chance to hit.
