Videos of Medieval and Renaissance Swordwork

As a demonstrator at the Higgins Armory Museum, my sword partner and I were sometimes filmed.  This page provides links to those videos.

German Long Sword -- 1500s (Meyer)

There's a page on the Higgins Armory Museum website that shows a demonstration of German Long Sword by my partner and me. As part of the Higgins Sword Guild, we gave demonstrations on a monthly basis at the museum. Click on the link below to go to the website where you can see the German Long Sword video.

German Long Sword -- 1400s (Starhamberg)


There is a sequence that my sword partner and I developed and created over the course of a year. We studied techniques from the 1400s, which is about a century earlier than what we had done previously.  NOTE:  I've removed the link to the video of this demo because it's been removed.

Scroll down to #11 on the list.  [Note: about the first 3 minutes is footage of the site where we gave the demo.] The demo starts about 3 minutes into the video.  The first part is our explanation of what we're doing, and we do the entire demo at full speed at the end.
