I need some help identifying the book where these came from. The illustrations are pretty sweet!
EDIT: it's "The Martial Arts of Medieval Europe by Ryuta Osada"
中世ヨーロッパの武術 (by 長田 龍太)
https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/%E9%95%B7%E7%94%B0-%E9%BE%8D%E5%A4%AA/e/B08JVK5R9W/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1
"The Historical Fencing Channel is an organization that disparate historical fencing groups come together and, through agreement, to collectively validate and recognize the efforts of their individual members. In doing so a "common ground" and sense of community is created within, through which ideas, methods, and knowledge may be shared in order to promote the growth of both groups and their members beyond what would otherwise be separately achievable. This Channel is a common ground for members to submit videos of their interpretations, to create a library of techniques from differing groups"
More specifically we can see Adam Franti of the Lansing Longsword Guild in all the videos of this playlist - covering a lot of the basic strikes, guards and concepts of Meyer Dussack(effectively a form of medieval/renaissance central-european saber that usually had a (semi)complex hilt but was often practiced with leather and wooden practice weapons with simpler guards).
On that note here’s a masterpost of sorts of Meyer content on this blog
You may also remember Adam from the earlier methodology and murderhobos posts.
The provoker-taker-hitter tactical concept and its uses are quite relevant to dussack as a weapon.
You may also enjoy this general one-handed sword according to Meyer video as well
(and keep in mind the dussack is used by Meyer within his 1571 book as a basis for all one-handed weapons).
As well as these videos on how to apply the Meyer square to a dussack, and some other dussack-handling drills.
Lastly you might find the dussack tag of the blog relevant too.

I was trying to find a kdfd idea for @inazumafocus ‘s birthday while watching a live stream and the streamer was wearing a mood ring. I found that funny and thought “what if mood rings were actually showing our feelings ?” That’s how I came up with this little one-shot comic.
If you read this Nene, I hope you liked that little something ! Happy birthday, hope you have a wonderful day 💖🥰🎂
I really loved drawing this short comic ! Especially Rika, I don’t draw her so often but she’s a delight to draw ! An absolute queen ✨ Also I really wanted to make it full color because a mood ring’s most important feature is their changing color... which is hard to show with grayscales lol. Most of the backgrounds have been generated with an AI and slightly retouched by myself after that. I really feel like it looks good...? You can see one actual picture I used on the very first panel, it was free to use, here’s a link to the original version.
If you have never seen this car before, know that this is perfectly normal: only two were made in a small German workshop immediately after the end of WWII.
The author of these cars is Kurt Volkhart who in 1941 ordered a new KDF chassis from the factory but given the great demand for cars (and some negligible problems that plagued Germany in those years) the chassis arrived only in 1944. The the…

Einleitung
+ Versprechen einer guten Zeit – August 1939:
7/12 – 21. Juli 1939
Literatur Radio Hörbahn stellt dieses Buch in besonderer Weise vor. Können die Menschen in einer Diktatur tatsächlich glücklich an einem Badestrand liegen? Frisch verliebt durch die Straßen schlendern, in ein Café oder ins Kino gehen? Können sie ausgelassen tanzen,…
"Mutieren (mutieren, mutirn, mutiren, transmuting) is one of the 17 Hauptstucke in the recital of Johannes Liechtenauer, and means an attack from the bind, which is used against an opponent who is soft on the sword, and in which the combatant winds over his opponent’s blade to thrust low. This technique is typically discussed in tandem with duplieren which is also typically regarded as two tempo thrust in opposition from the bind"
from Wiktenauer, however it also exists in Meyer's KDF as well.
Here’s a masterpost of sorts of Meyer content on this blog
You may or may not also know about these older and recent KDF-related posts on this blog.
I would also argue that while height definitely helps one achieve such techniques in such situations as described in the video, it is not a necessary component to make the technique work.
