Biomechanics for Swordsmanship - Part 7 of 9

BIOMECHANICS FOR SWORDSMANSHIP ============================== PART 7 - EFFECT OF SKELETAL ALIGNMENT ON THE HEAD PARRY ------------------------------------------------------- - The Classical head parry / St Georges parry is constrained and non-collapsible - The partially extended head parry is collapsible - muscle support only - An extended arm is strong due to the arm alignment, supported by the stronger shoulder muscles - Guardia di Testa = strongest due to full skeletal and leg alignment
