Re: Wrestling in Armor - A vid for you low-tech guys
I've actually done classes under the MEMAG guys, in longsword, Messer (two systems), and staff.
We might want to rename the thread, as it has grown beyond just wrestling in armor. I should probably also move the second group of links to page 1; perhaps this can be a resource thread. M. |

Re: Wrestling in Armor - A vid for you low-tech guys
Very interesting videos, which raise some questions in my mind.
First, the plate armor, though it doesn't seem to restrict movement to a great extent, probably would limit vision. Would this make it harder to counter some of the lower-body attacks, such as leg hooks or trips as seen with the polearm? Second, there's one example of the Messer used to literally disarm an attacker while parrying. Would this just be a Wait -> Stop Hit? Or perhaps a new technique, "Armed Aggressive Parry" or something? |

Use Parry if you're most concerned with stopping the sword attack without regards to attacking your opponent in the process. Use this if you prefer to try both in one go. It's more dangerous, but hey, it happens.

Re: Wrestling in Armor - A vid for you low-tech guys
Would this be the method to model any of the meisterhauen?

How do you do all that holding of the sword by the blade without problems?

Re: Wrestling in Armor - A vid for you low-tech guys
sjard, single-time defenses can be represented many ways in GURPS Martial Arts. Aside from Stop Hit, see Counterattack and Riposte (or Dodge + a subsequent Attack maneuver). Which one best represents a particular real-world technique depends on the situation. For example, attacking with a meisterhau is just one of the many variations on an Attack; pulling back a threatened leg while stabbing your companion in the face is a Dodge + Attack
