“Note: This is the first tenet of the long sword: learn to strike blows equally well from both sides if you want to learn to fence well.” -Sigmund Ringeck, ca. 1450 Thanks to everyone who’s responded to my story already! I’ll start putting a lesson plan together ASAP. 👍 Just for @nicolaspetritzky I’m not wearing jeans, but my new joggers as requested. Do y’all like my colourful #newlook? 😛 Here I am working on the reverse of the last combo: #oberhau from my off side and #unterhau from my forehand. This is particularly challenging for me as getting one’s weak side oberhau as good as the strong side is not really possible because of the weaker wrist position in the cut. However, it’s especially important for a #lefty like me to be able to do as well as possible. Yet again, this is the #drudgery that we all must face in pursuit of #skill. Besides, where the hell are we all gonna go anyway?
