Langes Messer (and Longsword) beginner's guide: a workshop on interpreting Fight Books.

Hey everyone! I'm currently in Switzerland to teach workshops alongside Daniel Jacquet, Robert Brooks and Martin Enzi (major fan moment being in that line-up). This video will be the handout for my workshop, but I felt the point it makes is so important it should be shared further afield as well: how do you go about working with Lecküchner's fight book? It's great in the sense that it offers a complete and closed system, but it's also huge. This video offers some guidance on interpretatie to help you through your PhD in Messer.
