Watching this, I really need to work on my technique.

One thing you might find helpful, is transitioning into a guard or some other position you can hold after each cut. Its good practice to return to a stable stance and position rather than leaving yourself over extended. It also has the added bonus of making it easier to analyze what you did wrong if your recovery is sloppy. Still good cuts though

That final cut was nice. Love me some triangle stepping.
Treat that sword like you study George Silver, don't give those mamby pamby short cuts, give 'em some downright blows.
+1 for the bravery of cutting with an antique. I don't think I could.

Funnily enough triangle stepping was my greatest strength when I practiced longsword. Also, yes! Downright blows make for fun cutting and happy wrists lol. @elbritannia - Yeah, I used to go back into position after cutting, but lost my technique after a while. Been getting into it more and adds a fun layer to cutting. I've also found these videos to be helpful as well, even if I don't post them it's still good to see what I'm doing right, wrong, and utterly failing at lol.
