At Swords of the Renaissance III I held a workshop on Viggiani. Since the batteries of the camera ran out at that point I decided to film the contents of the workshop in multiple videos for you. So here we go!
Viggiani is a really interesting source since he heavily criticized the usual fencing in the region. Starting with a discussion on why only sharp swords can teach proper swordplay and even more interestingly, how he likes strikes from the dominant side the least. Here I present his reasoning.

![Avoid HAND Snipes! - Workshop [ENG & GER]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/V6A5JjiaZwc/mqdefault.jpg "Avoid HAND Snipes! - Workshop [ENG & GER]
In this workshop I show a few common errors that lead to hand hits with the longsword and how to avoid them. If you are a longtime follower of Matt Eastons Scholagladiatoria channel, you should recognize quite a few of these tips, but I tried my best to add new exercises and additional pointers. :)
This was recorded during the 1st Potsdamer Fechtschule, a monthly event for workshops, exchange, sparring and just having fun. Enjoy!
