Solo Longsword: Beginners Flow Drill - 2

Part 2! Taking a look at ascending cuts, and then combinding the descending cuts from Part 1 (    • Solo Longsword: Beginners Flow Drill - 1   ) with the ascending cuts from this video.
Flow drills are an amazing dexterity exercise and stamina builder. And with all the variations you can implement, it's a great training element for practicioners of all levels. In this video we're taking a look at core elements of a double edge flow drill, using descending cuts. Throughout several video's we'll build upon this core, working towards a full flowdrill, as popularized in the #HistoricalEuropeanMartialArts scene by early pioneers such as Matt Galas and the likes.

Initially this was going to be a series for my H.E.M.A. club MARS (www.mars-swordfighting.com) but seeing as we've once again gone into a partial lockdown, there might be plenty of other people looking to do some #Longsword practise at home. This is a great drill for beginners to familiarize themselves with these movements! Hope you'll enjoy this #Tutorial :)
