Liechtenauer’s Zettel - Ep 32 | Hengen & Winden + All 24 Windings

Something I said that’s incorrect is saying setting on is just longpoint. Setting on is usually described with long point and shooting, however there are some examples of it being described with Half-swording and hangings. It’s such an important set of verses that I couldn’t shave the time down. And the last 3 minutes are all 24 Windings. This video only covered what they are, so I didn’t get into specifics about how to use them and motions etc. Its sad to come to the end of Liechtenauer’s series. Thank you for the support and watching. I’ll be working on what to make going forward. I know I spelt Longpoint wrong, but I don’t have super high standards. These video’s have some of the assumed knowledge going into the windings episode. Unter Hengen Longpoint 0:00 Hanging & Winding 6:23 All 24 Windings 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.
