Feinting and failing are in general the same thing but to emphasize a point I separated the two words.
Big thanks to my Dad, I'm glad he lets me hit him with the sword for videos.
The series is now switching to the sections showing the techniques. I know some of the images don't line up. I also don't have the ability to be with other HEMA practitioners. The other fencer is someone who lives with me not someone who practices. I'm grateful they agree to be hit a bunch.
Series Info:
Due to social distancing I'm going to make a series going through the verses of the Zettel for my students to use as a reference. The Zettel is the series of cryptic verses written by Johannes Liechtenauer to his students(1400s). It would become the foundation of the German combat system lasting over 200 years.

In my opinion the Zettel and the treatises from it are a series of advanced techniques written for people who can already fight with a sword. Therefore these videos as well are not made to be an in depth trainer for beginners but just going through the idea behind each verse.

These are my interpretation at the moment but as we develop, grow and learn, ideas can change. Feel free to disagree with me and try out other interpretations. My goal is to make very short and precise videos for one or two verses. Because of this there will be lots of information and details that don't make the cut.
