Update on the Spatha and Gladius fighting techniques!
#32
On the contary. The tight grip can be very versitile if used in the correct way. If one use a loose grip the sword can move in your hand as you want. From a "classic" all finger grip to the handshake grip, even griping only the pommel and ad a few centimeters of thrust-range.

Here is a topic on myarmoury.com about the ideas on griping a vikingsword where I got the inspiration for my testing of this.
