Good question. I think it’s a bit of a combination that describes a situation rather than a very formal position that is one very specific thing. There’s a video taken in class a very long time ago on my channel: ua-cam.com/video/uCKs9wIr4uk/v-deo.html
To be completely honest I don’t think it makes all that much difference. I use both longer and shorter grip lengths and while there’s some difference in mechanics it’s not earth shattering. The longer pommel does give significant advantages in the bind and handworks though, and allows a closer grip position if you need it so you get the best of both worlds :)
@@DanielPopeScholarVictoria Thank you for responding to my comment. I apologize for how thoughtless it was. I found the description I was looking for on 1.35v and illustration on plate F (center). Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skill with us.
It’s a combination of Blade angle, position of the point, guard angle, and position on or around the centreline. Eisenport is more of a parrying guard for fighting defensively, while pflug leads more naturally into winding, absetzen, and so on.
I’m no expert on Early new high German so rely on translations from Forgeng’s translation as well as Chidester, Winslow, and all of the other folk over at wiktenauer.com who have provided fairly consistent translations.
A comprehensive review within a minute. 😊
Your channel is hands down the best Hema channel out there. Thank you so much 🙏
Thanks. 😊
Definitely not the best, but hopefully useful.
Excellent! I was hoping to find a video to name the different guards/stances.
Thank you!
Great！That is the first time on youtube to see someone did the meyer style Eisenport right.
Crazy Meyer stances
Best one i found. Thx
I'd like to see Wechsel to Ochs from the other side. I'm struggling a little from the current angle. Great video all the same.
Your form is great! For how long have you trained?
Thanks :) I started historical fencing around a decade ago (with a few breaks along the way)
Damn that was cleeeaaan
Could you clarify what the Bretchfenster guard is? I've seen all sorts of explainations from slanted kron to twisted tag

Dan, do you think that Meyer's guards and cutting mechanics work better with longer grips (greater than 29cm?)

where is Kronhut from?
Kron (described without the suffix “hut”) is directly from Meyer’s 1570 text for this video.

Pft. Didn't evan kill the wall in this one.
I know! Disappointing right!?
So whats the differce between eisenport and pflug?

@@DanielPopeScholarVictoria thank you for the clarification
alber doesnt translate to fool rather funny or foolish
