       At tonight's #longsword lesson we looked at attacks from ox, unicorn, and hanging guards, with some of Meyer's funkier footwork. I can already tell I will ache in new and interesting places tomorrow.Also, today I took the car to training, since I had to be in the office to test my software on some hardware I don't have at home (it works!). With all the training gear as well as the laptop, it was just easier to drive than to take public transport. But I prefer to take the bike and train.

       What is your favorite guard or attack position? Mine would be posta di donna and porta di ferro.

       @vitalis We're following Meyer rather than Fiore, so I'm not familiar with the Italian names.If I'm not thinking of any particular approach, I tend to move between "pflug" (plow) or "vom tag" (high guard) when out of distance.

       @vitalis I've only been doing longsword for a few years, after 20+ years of unarmoured sword&shield. Still getting used to the idea of striking towards the head, or not massively pulling your blows. :-)
