Thrusting with crossed hands with a Longsword is not an easy technique, but in this drill Achille Marozzo (1536) actually gives us some sound advice to make it a proper threat. In this video series we are going to learn Achille Marozzo's Two-Handed Swordplay. Here, we will have a look at the seventh part of his Primo Assalto, the first series of techniques. They are great because you can train these with a partner or on your own. Marozzo was an italian master of the 16th century, writing down his techniques in his book “Opera Nova“. I use the translation by Jherek Swanger. Marozzo's Two-Handed Sword (= spada a due mani) might also be known as a Spadone, Montante , greatsword or Schlachtschwert. These are pretty much regional terms for the same weapon. Feel free to call it a longsword as well. ;) HEMA (historical european martial arts) or historical fencing has the aim to reconstruct forgotten fighting techniques, learn how they (mostly knights) really fought back then in medieval and renaissance times. This video represents my current interpretation of Marozzo's techniques - especially the punta incrosata. Feel free to discuss it with me in the comments section :) 00:00 Solo Drill 02:57 Partner Drill ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you would like to support us, visit our patreon: Follow us on instagram: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ Music: The Witcher 3 - OST Music Created By: Marcin Przybyłowicz, Mikolai Stroinski and Percival ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪
