Dagger fighting

The late medieval treatises show us one main technique for an attack with a dagger - the right-handed downward stab with a rondel. Here I suggest that this might not be the greatest way to fight with a knife/dagger.

The so-called 'ice-pick grip' using a rondel dagger may be better for dealing with foes in armour, but here I am confining myself to the enormously more common instance of foes who are not in armour.

This video has been unfortunately misinterpreted by some viewers, and I have made a long video clarifying what I am saying (and not saying) in this video here:    • Stabbing clarification
