"Bag of tricks."
A lot of people say this about Paulus Hector Mair's manual, as it encompasses many weapons. The plays look disjointed, but are they really?
In this video I'll explain how Mair wanted you to understand his manual on the threshing flail.

The Iberian Mangual is special among the flail family. Mentioned exclusively by Mendoza, there are many questions about this weapon. In this video, I answer some of these questions and make some theories of my own.

I always wanted to make a video about flail myths, but never got the inspiration for it.
Well now I got it. Matt Easton made a video on flails and some of these myths came up.

I love doing "exotic" weapons in our historical fencing sport.
Not just because they are unique, but also because a lot of them are important to fencing history.
