Roland Warzecha's Cast Blow Sword Technique Similar to Thrand's Overarm Slide Spear Technique?

Thrand and Eldgrim after Roland Warzecha's suggestion compare Roland's Cast Blow to Thrand's overarm throwing spear slide or Gigging style technique! These techniques both come from ancient depictions an artwork and may prove what the later century fight manuals and treaties meant as the ancients method of sword and spear use differ from our own. They prove very little if any body motion can needs to be used with either technique and they both generate more speed and power than the body motion can alone in cutting. Thrand explains how the SCA uses the thrown blow or shot which is very similar just stream lined in their combat style.These techniques work very well in early large shield combat, shield walls, phalanx and mounted combat were mobility can be very limited. So sit back grab an ale or mead and enjoy this video of techniques tested on analog ballistic gel head and tough rolled wet newspaper in this exciting reply to Roland Warzecha and his cast blow sword technique!
