Longsword flow drill tutorial: iron butterfly

Here I attempt to break down the steps of a slight variation on Guy Windsor’s Iron Butterfly flow drill. Let me know if you found this helpful.

Very smooth and graceful. You make it look effortless👍

Your method of breaking things down is actually super helpful for me to understand the proper mechanics of wheeling strikes. I've always struggled with grasping the movement of them, but having your multiple viewpoint demonstrations and slower demonstration made me realize where I'd been faltering.

Excellent video!

You are excellent at instructing. Thank you! The way you break things down, demonstrate and explain make this very attainable. I love that this is scalable as our skills increase. Thank you so much.

I love this drill! It’s so nice and flowing and I love the way once you get used to the movements how you can string it into itself in different ways and also add in other movements.

This is really interesting because I’ve been learning it with a behind the head slash for the 1st follow up to the stabs, but i do sometimes find myself swinging into your variation, when i’m increasing in speed, thru the drill.

This is a great video thank you. It's good that you break it down into each cut and thrust.

With some slight adaptations, this also looks like a great excercise for Montante!
What I enjoyed most about this breakdown, was the very consistent pace that was kept throughout the explanation.

Love this! I saw you doing it in one of your instagram reels a few years ago and learned how to do it from watching it a hundred times!

What sword/feder are you using in this vid? It looks great. Would you be willing to do a review to discuss its characteristics and fitness for sparing?

[mixedmartialnutrition]
