In this video I'm giving an introduction to fundamental basics of how to defend against sword attacks in historical European martial arts. The types of defensive action I'm discussing are evasion, blocking, parrying, and counters / active parries.
I'm hoping it might be helpful or inspirational to new HEMA practitioners, video game animators, movie choreographers, etc.
