Longsword Techniques: Winden and Mutieren

Mörck daß mutiern
We are exploring Winden and especially Mutieren, the core longsword techniques of Liechtenauer’s tradition. However, Mutieren is only rarely used in sparring sessions. Winden and Mutieren are Indes actions and require timing and marking the opportunity for the correct execution of the technique. We apply Mutieren in common situations where it is well-suited, and also in non-traditional settings. Originally, this video was conceived as a follow-up to workshops for INDES.
We visit other techniques and positions, and these exercises can be useful for HEMA clubs and fencers to review the basic concepts on Fühlen, openings, and body mechanics.
Enjoy!
