Defend the wall & counter cutting

In today’s video we go through an exercise called Defend the wall, where you receive blows and cannot move out of position. You have to stand your ground and parry. It’s a great exercise to learn to parry well and to rely on your defence. We also take it all the way to how your defence can become an attack, in a counter cut. 🏆 Support the channel🏆 Support the channel through Patreon! It really helps us! 🏆 Our Goal 🏆 Want to learn about fencing with swords, sword fighting and the culture of fencing? At The Historical Fencer Magazine our goal is to share our knowledge and thoughts on historical fencing to get you started in picking up a sword. Or, if you’re already doing Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA), to deepen your knowledge. I remember starting with HEMA and historical fencing over two decades ago and having tonnes of questions. Now there is so much more information and I want to help you with the things that I didn’t know back then. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🏆 Other places I run 🏆 St Mark – Fencing clothing and equipment ► ​ The Fencing Guild – a ranking organisation ► ​ Facebook page for THF ► HEMA Council – a FB page for historical fencing ► Spreaker, Spotify and all the other places you listen to podcasts ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 👨 About Me 👨 My name is Anders Linnard and I’ve been doing HEMA or Historical fencing for over 20 years.
