thumb grip with hanging parry?

[philippewillaume]

hello jonh

i got it from a pdf of the book
http://schielhau.org/Meyer.title.html

that being said i got the date a tad wrong it is 1570. which will teach me to look at the source and not trust my memory so much.. <img src="/forum/images/icons/blush.gif" alt="" />

but what is 50 years between friends ?

Hello mike
I cannot really comment albeit saying that it looks sound to me.
I am not really a meyer expert but it was my understanding that he does use bloks.

But ringeck does not seems to so, so I do not use blocks. Sigmund says in defence only use maserhaw or absetezen so i do what the man says (well, i try to <img src="/forum/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" /> ).
So i use deflections and i do not use the thumb but the wrist is in the same position even on shielhaw, that why the strength comes from you body position and not from the grip.

If that makes any kind of sense ?

I thought that Meyer was generally accepted at neither of those dates -- rather 1570. JH
