I am specifically looking for video training on how to get the hip into a shot. Trimaris Duke University November 2011 video with Duke Ranvaldr talks about this. Who else explains this well that's on youtube?
Thanks
Tally

Thanks. Fun seeing Paul a few years younger.

Paul is definitely the starting point on how to understand power generation. Something that is worth recognizing is that the impulse does not initiate with the hip but with the abdominal muscles in the hip abductor.

I've found that standing on your shield foot, sword foot off the ground, and focusing on throwing the sword hip forward helps to make the conscious connection between the hip abductor and the hip and the initial impulse for starting the blow.

Gavin, that is a great idea. Thanks for that one. I need to have someone try that.

I'll give it a shot too!

Cool, never heard it called "frame weight transfer." Thanks.

Tally - I worked with HG Paul Bellatrix at this past war.
I can show you the shot generation thing he was working on with me.
Its a cool drill that I know you'll pick up easily.

very interesting

Cool! I took his class a few wars ago.

we need more training vids out there under all the schools of training.

Agreed. Duke Gaston challenged the Dukes to Res Ducis on you tube. It was very active for a few months, but Nada since then. Duke G's videos were great.

Ouch! Your pun power generation has increased.
