Cory Winslow (MEMAG) and Mike Edelson (NYHFA) have spent quite some time deconstructing Liechtenauers Kunst des Fechtens (“Art of Fencing”), and have come to the conclusion that it is not in fact the elite combative system designed to trump all systems in all contexts as it was so often assumed (no real surprise there)! In this special finale of Squinting Rabbit’s first season of Kunst des Fechtens Conversations, Cory and I talk about the failings of the early Liechtenauer ‘system’ and what exactly it means when we say “KdF is dead!”
