I originally made this more like a book, where each play had its own page, but I don’t really know how to replicate that here, so it will have to be a continuous scroll layout. Anyway, awhile back, my friend and I made a complete replication of all of the longsword plays in the Codex Wallerstein, done as presentation gifs. These are to show the full range of motion and intent for all 26 of these plays. They are done, however, to match the actions as closely as possible. Therefor, they stop where the plays stop, and only have the opponents doing the actions that the opponent is doing in the play. As such, the goal with this was not to show these actions under some sort of realistic fighting conditions, only to literally bring what was on the page to life. In my original presentation I included the full translations from the Zabinski book, but as that would replicate large sections of the book, I will respect that copyright, and simply suggest that you purchase it yourself to follow along.
Consequently, here is the Living Wallerstein, presented first with the illustration from the book and then our version of that play: Play 1:
