What's Most Challenging to Learn in Sword Fighting

Like any other skill, learning historical martial arts takes time and effort. It's a lot of fun, good exercise, and a way to meet like-minded folks, and just about anyone can get into it. Not everyone will agree on what is most difficult to figure out, but in this video I talk about some of my observations and opinions on the matter.

Among other things I give some examples regarding footwork and biomechanics that beginners tend to struggle with for a while. And of course no matter at which stage you are in the learning process you're always aware of a plethora of things that you could / should improve. :)
