LF pictures of the Mordstreich being done in armour

Post by Thorsteinn Raudskeggr »

Q while back a guy posted a pic of a SCA tourney where they were doing half-swording, & other techniques of that nature.

I just can't remember the name of the thread to get the pic.

Can you help me with the pic and of other SCA, LH, HEMA action shots of this nature?

I would like them for reference, and to show our local HEMA instructor.

Thanks!

BONK!!!

Here's a short tourney vid where I start out in a half-sword guard, until I get inside the poleman's range.

In the SCA context I mostly just use halfswording to defend against spears or polearms, or when I want to use my greatsword as a short spear.
