Grappling in HEMA can be quite dangerous if you mess up your footwork. Got my knee twisted in a throw and am now grounded for a while, dealing with an injured ligament and resulting inflammation. Fortunately no permanent damage but definitely a painful lesson. • How to have a better chance of preventing such mishaps: • 1.) Practice proper stances, steps and body posture frequently • 2.) Avoid high intensity sparring before you've mastered the basics • 3.) Don't skip or shorten your warmup and stretching routine • 4.) Be cautious with grappling, do throws and joint locks in a slow-controlled manner first before attempting free play • • ******************************************************************************** • My favorite online store for buying swords (worldwide shipping): • http://ww4.aitsafe.com/go.htm?go=kult... • Want to help fund future videos? • / skallagrim • My Facebook page: • / skallagrimyt
