For those in the KORA sword class, part of this very nice video (around the 3 min mark) shows what they call in Spanish sword, the hourglass, sometimes called the X or half X in FMA. I don’t like to use the term half X because it misleads the student; we want our students to operate with a tighter angle, like the hourglass.
We have a five-count and then add in the baits and switches, from memory, the Ilustrisimo people have the same concepts.
Interesting to me is that Ilustrisimo Sword has this as well. Exactly the same, two unique, distinct sword systems, same five count.
A very nice video and very much worth watching all of it.
