All about Thrusting (HEMA Longsword).

Hello dear followers, It’s been a while since I wrote something on this blog, but today I decided to add a post, as it is an important part of my growth as a HEMA Instructor. I started working on this blog just a few months after getting into HEMA, so it’s full of every kind of idea and dogmas which I had back in the days.
It’s funny to look through its old posts, everything is quite different from what I do now.

Anyway, I’ll try to keep it alive in some way!

I take the occasion to share with you my latest YouTube video, in which I deliver ten tips about how to land a thrust properly.

Cheers!
