While teaching at the TaurHEMAchia 2016 event in Turin, I was invited to give a presentation about the way I use a flourish or solo forms from my source material to improve my training.

There are not many solo forms or flourishes in the Germanic material, unfortunately, but there are a few, and I find them immensely valuable and use them in my own training. In this presentation, I explain how we can use the flourish from the Kölner Fechtbuch to test and improve our striking mechanics and body structure.
