I'm sure there's no "one, definite correct way" but I'm just looking for your opinions and experiences.
- Firstly, do you use the thumb grip? Always? Never? Or just use the thumb grip if you need a higher angle of attack? In your opinion, is it still a zwerchau if you don't?
- Secondly, do you (ideally) aim to deflect their attack off to the side? sidestep to totally void their attack? catch their blade on your crossguard?
- Thirdly, timing. Do you find it works noticeably better if performed Vor? Indes? Nach? Are you particularly vulnerable at any time?
These are just a few questions I'm musing over at the moment and would love to read people thoughts on the matter.
Thanks
