Indeed, I just got off the double-course training about an hour ago...We came to discuss the differences between japanese swordfighting(in this particular case unarmed 16th century peasant self-defence swordfighting) and some of the ill-composed training courses that I have had to put together so far in Lichtenauers spirit...


The differences are sometimes striking -how come fighting with a sword became this different, I wonder...


For your interest, I assume, it seems that the "Krumphau" was used by the japanese as well! Although, the trajectory of that particular cut seems to differ a bit from the japanese version of it, the idea seems to be the same!





Once again -thank you!

Cheers, and thanks a lot!


I, poor student at the University of Lund (currently living in Gifu city, Japan, however) have come across a japanese friend who decided on starting to give me classes in medieval japanese fencing -kenjutsu (not to be mistaken with the modern sport of "kendô"), provided that I teach him what little Ihave come to know about German medieval fencing.


Seeing how I was but a mere beginner when I left Lund I have come to the point where I no longer have very much new things to teach my japanese friend...and this after only one month!


Thanks to your publication of the Ringeck Zedel I am now capable of organizing the training a bit better and provide with more training material! (As a former student of german medieval literature at the Humboldt University of Berlin I must say that it warmed my heart to see that one isn't alone in one's interest for dusty german tombs)





So once again, thank you!
