Title: "Appreciation of thrusts/stabs in recreational swordsmanship" by Matt Easton
Post by: Thorsteinn on 2016-03-17, 22:57:23
A good point on the taking of thrusts from Matt of Schola Gladiatoria. I know many of us have complained about this visa vie the taking of thrusts. OK, maybe just me but still. A good video to watch.

Great points are made here and I find myself agreeing with Matt Easton.  I recall a time when I was down in Virginia for VAF Swordsmanship event in 2012 I used a Montante Trainer and I was able to perform well controlled cuts, my better attacks were thrusts.  Even when longsword bouting with a fellow classmate from SIGMA (now on hiatus) I was able to use Speaking Window at one point in time and used little to almost no cuts.
