Hi guys I have recently gone and bought myself a scottish lowlander great sword, I have started training with it and it is one hell of an amazing weapon Laughing , but I have only been able to adapt some of the longsword techniques to it purely because of it's share size, i was wondering if anyone new of any manuscripts on techniques or forms for zweihander or greatswords, I have been looking on the net since i got the sword and so far haven't been able to find anything.

Any help would be appriciated.

It's a good text.

Hey Jono,

Sounds like Ralph's organising me to come up for another workshop.
Could be a good chance to look at the big toys then?

Have a chat to Ralph and sort a date.

Cool.

At the moment I'm free after the middle of March, but getting busy again at the end of April.

Best is to call. 09 571 2063. Mobile died at Taupo, so landline is best.
