The two side guards on right and left side - - harnischfechten #2

Another Escalation for Armored Combat by Paulus Hector Mair. Do this device as follows: step forward with the left foot and hold your sword in front over your left leg with the point towards the opponent. Then, step forward with the right foot, raise the sword and direct the pommel towards your opponent’s face. If you are then standing with your right foot forward, and see your opponent moving his pommel towards you, you press down with the middle of the sword and turn in your pommel with the right hand from underneath on the inside of his right arm. Then you step with the left foot behind his right and lay the sword against his neck. If he should do the same to you, then raise the pommel with the right hand over your head and step back with the right foot, and you will turn away from him in the previous guard. #hema #harnischfechten #historicalfencing #fencing #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #paulushectormair #interpretation #longswordfencing #halfsword #armor
