Learning Italian longswording!

<< < (2/2)

Yep, that's the one.

Our group used English backsword as a foundation class to build everything else off of as most if not all the footwork, cuts, guards are similar if not the same.

Learned 8 un-armoured guards, 8 cuts and 1 thrust so far.
Next week (I'm not going to be there) we're learning the parries to the basic cuts.

I have to say though, I like the Italian long sword much more than I like the English backsword.
