Solo Longsword - Dexterity Cutting Drill - Part 1

Another Longsword Solo Drill! New bottle, old wine! This cutting pattern has been around for ages, and has proven its usefulness over the centuries, providing people with a structured cutting pattern to not only learn strikes, but also improve their combinations and handling. But rather than sticking with vague generic titles, I’ve taken to using a modern name that sticks and clearly describes the drill. This drill has been used for all types of weapons over the centuries, and shown here is an adaptation for #Longsword. But it has been used for broadsword, quarterstaff, and a whole range of different items, so no matter what your focus is within the #HistoricalEuropeanMartialArts, you can certainly make use of this solo drill, so I hope this #Tutorial helps!
