Fundamental Movements of Liechtenauer Longsword

The Liechtenauer longsword glosses present a wide array of techniques, which can be daunting to study, especially for new students. Can we simplify our approach to this art by identifying a smaller number of fundamental movements which are consistent across these techniques? This lecture will take an in-depth look at the descriptions of longsword techniques in the glosses and present a set of fundamental movements that can form the basis for a simplified method of studying these techniques.
