More landsknecht halberd fighting [Paurenfeyndt interpretations and sparring]

A while back I published the first video of project Dolnstein (after the Landsknecht sketchbook diary/sketchbook by Paul Dolnstein): an attempt by Casper van Dijk and me to learn all we can about early landsknecht halberd fighting. This second video deals with the second page of André Paurenfeyndt’s chapter on polearm fencing, as well as some sparring. It’s pretty fun to compare this to our first video, since I feel our sparring has gotten somewhat better. :) If you like this video, don’t forget to check out Patreon as well: Fencers: Casper and Oskar 0:00 Intro 0:20 PLay: winding over the halberd 1:10 Counter: strike to the head 2:13 Play: displacing a strike to the legs 2:57 Play: a throw from a drawn thrust 3:48 Counter: hip throw 4:28 Sparring Music: I know, I used Atgeir by Danheim before, but since it’s basically old-Norse for ’Halberd’, I figured this would be a fun choice. :) #halberd
