Workshop BSS 2024: Approaching the ergonomics of a foreign curve

Leaning on North African martial arts, material science/product design principles and Indopersian fighting sources, I cordially invite you to think curved swords differently. Within a hybrid method of lecture („Can’t I just call it sabre and isn’t it just the same thing with a different hilt?“), demonstration (bow & curved sabre) and exercises (constant motion cutting, actively using the tip&handle), we want to gradually gain momentum and cunning.

I am educated on scimitars now. Thank you!
Very cool backedge hooking beat. The circling seems too slow though. Reverse palm down to palm up cut would almost certainly score.
