The Zornhau (Wrath Cut) and techniques that accompany it are demonstrated by Cory Winslow and John Bax of the Medieval European Martial Arts Guild using longswords. *EDIT* After making this video we realized that there are a few mistakes present in the Duplieren and Mutieren sections. The wrong picture is shown for the Duplieren, and the Mutieren should be performed against an opponent in an upper hanger instead of a lower hanger. A video showing the corrections can be found here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=a6CJ-ZCnMSY

Trainers of the german assiciaton "Zornhau e.V." are training for stage combat just for fun. They are using historical techniques from old german masters like Johannes Liechtenauer and Hans Talhoffer.

This represents a new interpretation of the Zornort in which we use a Zornhau to close the line of our opponent's attack as we convert the Zornhau to a Zornort as almost a single-time action. This version shows the play from the right side.
