Well not really, there are plenty of german sources that tells the use of the "Messer" but sadly there are almost no sources about the one handed sword, or "arming sword". Anyway, check this video of mine which talks about this topic specifically, I'm editing the second episode right now. th-cam.com/video/-o8jxX7vkOs/w-d-xo.html
Manuel Pirino I apply many of Leckuchners techniques of the Langes Messer to the arming sword. Just know that the messer has a nagel in the cross, thus Stier (similar to ochs in longsword), and also quite similar to Einhorn or Becca Cessa/possa (or guardia alicorno), isn't as protective with arming sword without the buckler. However, for sideswords (later arming sword which are generally longer and have more hand protection, there is quite a lot of the bolognese school, from Marozzo to Dall'agocchie to Viggiani. (Dall'agocchie being easier to start with; as it is written as a dialogue) The true arming sword however, not so much, but I would go for learning the messer techniques since many work with the arming sword. And remember; lessons don't teach you how to act in free sparring, rather, they are lessons that teach you underlying principles and how to handle the sword. Like i33; which I view as lessons in one way to fight; and a very conservative way, better suited for more blade heavy swords.
A good idea for a solodrill might be the Meyer-square. I do the sets once with long edge only and afterwards altering short and long edge like it would be used against an opponent who displace every strike... Or just remamber to put any actions you like in a flow as long they got a name in a historical manual... 😉

Your drills always help, they give really excellent solo advice which is so lacking in hema! Thank you
Thank you :-)
Many Thanks, Frederico.
Hi Federico, I like the video a lot. Finally the seven 1.33 wards makes sense as transition from one guard to other. Very good analisys work!!
Loved it! I'll try it today!
Good!!
Man this is awesome! Ive just started sword and buckler and this helps so much!
Very useful for my training. Thanks!
Excellent drill - i love it!
Michael Lammer thank you!
Awesome a very useful!
talking stops at 2:52
Hi Fede. Are there any good sources as far as you know for just the one handed sword? As in, without the buckler?

Do you have the order of the drill written down so I can follow it?

Sorry I’ve seen the comment only now. Anyway the good Joachim already wrote the sequence so just check it ;-)

It was a very nice flow! :)
