Baseball bat fighting | Zwerchhau Liechtenauer

Some basic strikes with the baseball bat + the use of a typical Hema technique from Liechtenauer -> the “Zwerchhau”.

This is the standard execution of the Zwerchhau (with a little difference) to make a clear comparison with the source, but there are several variations/applications to distinguish within in the use of blunt weapons (Recon Sparring).

The technique is ideal for hitting the target from a shorter distance, around a defense, or from a non-regular position. I will show/explain this more in a future post. This is just a little demo.
