Joachim Meyer’s Longsword: The Circle (Zirckel)

Being stuck at home with nobody to stab is difficult, but it does give us time to reflect on our approach to fencing and see how the different techniques are related. In this video disassemble one of the most characteristically Meyer movements - the Circle (Zirckel). The Circle derives from the Krumphauw, and as always we’re looking at the practical aspects of how the technique fits together and can be adapted to work in a contemporary ’live’ fencing context.
