Of course you can parry, Sir Brian. After all, that's how we avoid taking unwelcome longsword blows to our thumbs. :) Sorry, had to say it. Parrying is not limited as a fencing technique. It is a method of blocking strikes even in longsword.

Oh I know that Lord_Dane, I was just being a little satirical about the second ARMA video posted. In fact I have several ‘plays’ in my repertoire in dueling with the longsword that are inclusive with a parry. But yeah when I use my thumb to parry, I’m basically doing it WRONG! ;)

Good news though. You only get to do it twice. ;D
