The Secrets of I.33: Priest's Special Longpoint
“The Walpurgis Fechtbuch” or "1.33" is the oldest surviving fencing manual in existence. The manuscript describes a sophisticated system of fencing with sword and buckler. In this system, there are a number of ‘Guards’, ‘Wards’. Most of these wards make sense but one, Priest’s Special Longpoint, is kind of baffling. So we went to SoCal Swordfight, one of the largest HEMA events in the United States and asked some HEMA luminaries what they thought!

    Resting stance when out of distance that is close to 1st custodiat so you can assume it if opponent comes near.

    Emulating the looks of the treaty's faces was not necesary , that will hunt my dreams

    And the answer is: NOBODY KNOWS! Although a position that can engender so many interpretations and possible follow up techniques seems valuable just for the possibilities. Maybe that was the real point all along, huh, kids?

    This is a good method of exploring a technique that has many interpretations; let those with interpretations each give their own!

    My interpretation of the Priest Special is intended as a provocation, going into a deliberately flawed 1st ward, to encourage a specific action which is then countered by Long Point.

    Why a mix of Roman and current numerals?
