Joachim Meyer's Longsword: Kronhauw & Cutting Mechanics

In this video we take a deep dive into Meyer's Kronhauw. There are several interpretations of this cut, though this is the one I prefer for general use as it's effective, fits the text well, and integrates smoothly into Meyer's wider longsword corpus.The main take-aways are ensuring a single counterattacking action, and using the appropriate structure to make it work. However, in getting to this point we can discover some interesting observations about generalised cutting mechanics both in Meyer, and in earlier KdF systems.
