@virtualfechtschule: Another possibly better way to block a Greatsword, and this is one I actually like, is a well timed entry with halfsword. It does take truly impeccable timing though. Another problem is that this still will not work 100% of the time. Again, a person with a greatsword also actively takes part in the fight, so they will have plenty of opportunities to counter. Ultimately, such techniques are better than straight up parrying, but since both the risk and the price of failure are high, most people will (quite hard rightly) prefer to not engage if possible. #historical #fencing #hema #greatsword #montante #zweihander #experiment

Azden :
lots of these strikes aren't "blasting through anyway" the weapon is bending and warping around the block to still hit, which a steel sword would not do

You are blocking to close to the hilt the greatsword user can stab you in the head area but if you block to high the enemy can just slide down and stab/slash you

everyone focuses on the weapon. Don’t. Weapon is secondary. Advance and set on there foot and keep pushing forward. Topple. And then stabby stabby
