Learn to fight with the Greatsword! A tutorial on Figueyredo’s simple rules 1-16
A year ago, I went out to Teylingen castle in 32 degrees of heat, to record all of Figueyredo’s simple rules for the montante. My reasoning? I absolutely love greatsword, and even though I’m more into the German varietals, Figueyredo’s fight book was a huge help when getting started. There’s already a few (better) interpretations up on YT, but I often hear people would like to see multiple angles and slow motion, so I hope this video is somewhat useful. Finally, this is still a work in progress, so if you’d like me to dive a bit deeper into a particular sequence, let me know!
