    I’ve done a bit of fight choreo with the German style, it’s very fun and surprisingly versatile compared to the standard Italian.

      Depends on what you mean by standard italian. Most people study Fiore, with his flower of battle book. And it’s anything but “standard”, it’s full of tricks and “dirty” plays. Like Liechtenauer / Meyer would be the “default”, and Fiore being the “krav maga” version.

      German school of fencing has a bunch “master strokes”, like the zverchhau, krumphau etc. But italian has all of that and so much more
