Want to learn how to sword fight? I’m showing you how to do a Zornhau Ort in the Liechtenauer style with a longsword. The Zornhau is one of the most important techniques and I’m providing you with some key details for using it while fighting fighting.
The Zornhau is one of the hidden strikes in HEMA, also called the Master cuts or Meisterhäue. It is used to deflect and counterattack at the same time, either with a cut or with a thrust. It is used when your opponent tries to cut towards your head with an Oberhau.
