As Meridies eases into a Tip Cut experiment, I have a question. How do you calibrate / quantify the damage done by a "Tip Cut"? Some qualifiers.... Cut is: ...
... Depends. German fight masters used the cut with the "tip", but it appears they thought of the upper 4-6 inches as "tip". It also has to be noted that our...
... Makes THAT tough, then. *wry* If consulted, my recommendation would be to accept tip cuts as "kills" in the head, neck, and torso. Again, not all tip cuts...
Lethality of tip cuts is doubtfull at best. But you can call it as you like. I prefer to think of them as non-lethal. But if you tip cut my forehead I'll...

Sorry about that, I guess I expected people to understand that tip and push cuts would get called just like thrusts and draw cuts. I would like for people to...
Okay, my three cents worth. I think it will be interesting. As to the comment it will allow lucky shots to win, how many real fights ended due to "lucky"...
... Collegium, the afore mentioned Charles elimated Hawk with a single thrust that Hawk never saw coming. I say it was a lucky shot because neither party...
Okay, but to argue another side... Many "real" duels were fought through several "killing" blows. The human body, while fragile and easily damaged, can...

Applying this, I wonder if most of us wouldn't interpret this as a draw cut. Having not utilized tip cuts, I tend to think of them (probably incorrectly) as...
Man, that last sentence was totally incoherent. I think what I meant to write was "I would think that what dab describes I would believe to be a draw cut". Or...
Edmund, I generally agree that the more experienced fencers would take David's cut. I think that for most people the problem is the idea of a minimum of 2...

Makes more sense. I guess my prejudice (if that is the correct term) about tip cuts is those "scrapes" that occur when one parries the opponents blade, those...
A "real" tip-cut. Start in "Guardia Alta" slash to 7:00 o-clock and reverse! If you connect - it's going to be bloody! [Sidesword experiment] But this form...

Oh - and if it isn't clear I agree with those who feel that the accidental scrapes (to the clothed body and arms, mind you) wouldn't do enough to stop a fight...
Wow - that's a hell of a tip cut. Mind you, I'm not disagreeing here, that's just extreme. I can do a lot of damage with a simple mandritto or even molinet. ...
