sword stuff

Blossfecten , “un-armored fighting” is the set of techniques built around combat in out of armor. Before the 14th Century, the staple weapons were swords, daggers and fists. By this time, the longsword had dominated the battle-field, and were even effective against early armor which relied heavily on chain mail. The techniques predominantly used by our school are based on those taught by Johannes Lichtenauer’s, around the 14c – 15c. Historically, the Blossfechten techniques were taught for both judicial duels and for the purpose of warfare.
