The core of our approach to training the positions and movements of historical swordsmanship is a systematic study of body mechanics. The principles are:
- relaxation,
- grounding,
- power generation.
Ideally every position and action will be studied systematically, changing only one variable at a time, to find the best possible way for your own specific body to be and to move. Proper body mechanics help you:
- Generate more power with less effort
- Improve your balance and stability
- Reduce unnecessary strain and risk of injury
- Make your actions faster, smoother, and more precise
It's a big topic which we cover in 24 videos on the free Fundamentals: Body Mechanics course.
