How to Counter an Oberhaw With Both Hands - Messer from the Augsburg Tradition (Episode 2)

We look at the second item (or play) from the Augsburg Tradition manuscripts (Bauman's Fechtbuch, the Rast Fechtbuch, and Albrecht Dürer's fighting manual - sometimes referred to as the Codex Wallerstein). Similarly to the first item, the second item also deals with protecting yourself from an attack towards your head, but shows us how we can use both hands. We will look at the other items in later videos. Link to the Augsburg Tradition: https://wiktenauer.com/wiki/Augsburg_...
