Traverse Exercise

July 13, 2018. I’m teaching Brad a Broadsword traverse drill I developed around 2007ish. I’m adapting Thomas Page’s footwork (different hand movement) utilizing Inside and Outside Guards against Hanging and Spadroon Guards, defending against either Cut 1 or 2. Note: This is a “High” Spadroon Guard, similar in appearance to that found in George Sinclair’s “Anti-Pugilism”, but used differently. I’ve used it effectively in sparring matches in the past.
