You know Andrew at first I didnīt really agree with this, but recently I spent some time working this out and I must say I now completely agree with you...at least when a shield isnīt involved. I think a shield lets one get away with more...not that one SHOULD mind you, but one CAN. If you donīt move the sword first, you donīt generate threat...but since we are talking mere fractions of a second, the more important part is that if you donīt move that sword first to take the line, you end up binding off line and then you die. I found that all those years of doing SCA has lead me to develop this bad habit of using my hips first...and quite frankly itīs kinda annoying me right now(I didnīt even notice I started doing the SCA hip motions when doing WMA). So I should really thank you for helping me. I plan on using this newfound nugget of knowledge in my next SCA greatsword match hehe. |
I'm glad you got something useful out of this- complete lack of politeness or tact (on my part) aside, that was intended to be helpful, not just obnoxious...
