Used Book in Good Condition
I went to look up what you were talking about, and discovered something called Mordhau on Wikipedia. Checking their sources I found out this information comes from the Codex Wallerstein, essentially a 15th/16th century compilation of German fencing techniques. You can even find a translated version for purchase on Amazon, and it appears to be taken seriously as far as authenticity goes.
So, /u/rambolinchen, your "mistake" is actually a really cool detail.
Well, we've not done dagger fighting in years now, so "current" is a bit inexact. But, at the time, the go-to was Jason Vail's Medieval and Rennaisance Dagger Combat: https://amzn.com/158160517X
But I also went to direct sources, chief of which was Codex Wallerstein: https://amzn.com/1581605854
Do you feel that you've spent enough time studying fencing manuals? Now that you have the basic body mechanics down, you can learn a lot from Meyer, Fabris, etc.
Besides furthering your own education, you may find stuff that will rekindle your partner's interest.
Given his interest in kung fu, I suggest Code Wallerstein. The wrestling sections, alone and with weapons, may prove fruitful.
