I know of a few moves like the High Cross and the Wrap but what are some other moves you guys know of?

AHHHHH!!! i hate this question >< everytime a nooby to our practices is like "show me some moves" i'm like "well this one hurts, this one doesn't count, and this one is effective" . . . .

i was thinking of doing some 3d animations of crazy awesome moves to help people but i'm REALLY lazy so it probably won't happen anytime soon >.>

What i tell most people is: once you can visualize your opponent without having to LOOK at them, and then place your sword WHEREVER you want on a target area at ANY time and position. . . the moves just happen =)

The moss covered, three handled family gredunzle!



This sword shot alone has won countless fights and can put even the most experienced knight to shame.


*Shrug* I heard a theory somewhere that all shots are just modifications of a basic shot or something to that effect. I took it to mean

Step 1: Assess a target area

Step 2: Assess a way to put the business end of a weapon into the target

Step 3: Execute

Step 4: ????

Step 5: Profit

LOL, one guy asked me to do some eskrima move, and I all I did was a simple horizontal swing.

Whatever works is a good move. Experience is the only way to discover what works for you.

Watch these/

PS: The High Cross isn't really a good move. It is easy to block and counter. You want to do a High Slot attack instead.
