[1] Young knight learn, to have love for god and honor women. Speak to women well and be valiant, so that one shall hear you and also be available thereto. Do not let yourself be deceived by one’s tricks, go with courage to he who does injustice to you, and set your sense to a sincere principle, and to this end learn valiant chivalry, yet practice pinching and jesting with joy. Throw the stones, shoving staves, fencing and wrestling, dancing and jumping, stabbing and jousting, with that should one seem to curry favor with women, yet fencing wants to have pinching and jesting. The heart which easily frightens there, no fencing shall he learn, why whoever loses the art from the sword, he goes hazy, and also makes large sweeps, those softly warped hearts, therefore one hears very many stories, that the hopeless often will be hit, and is a righteous sense that a truth with fencing will be reached and art has not learned. Of that complaint, I myself Jörg Wilhalm Hutter from Augspurg open and ridicule.			600px
[2] Whoever wants to hew upon you, you shall parry it with joy, and when you have parried, thus all of his hews are destroyed. The two both stand to the right in the over hew If you want to behold the art, then to left and right with hews and left with right is what you strongly desire to fence. Whoever goes after with hews allow their art little joy. Hew nearing what you want, no change-through comes to your shield. To head, to body, don’t abandon the fencing, with the whole body fence, what you desire to drive strongly, hereafter what you strike crisply on.			600px
[3] The two both stand on the left in the over hew Don’t fence above on the left if you are right handed, and if you are left handed and in the right also severely hindered. Before and after, the two things are the origin of all art. Weak and strong, indes, wait, with that note your work. Thus may you learn your work with art, and whoever frightens easily, he shall not learn to be a fencer.			600px	600px
[4] He stands in the over hew This is the wrath hew from the right shoulder This is about the wrath hew. Whoever hews you from above, take the wrath hew strong on your shoulder and hew in straight, over the parry, and hang and wind with the sword as if you want to thwart, and allow to drop to both sides with half failers and hit him with the long edge to the right ear to the head away.			600px	600px
[5] He stands in the over hew This is the wrath hew from the left shoulder This is the wrath hew on the left side, and take the same from the left shoulder and hew him quickly in long to the head and hang and wind with it, and again use the failers, and hit yet again as stands written before and behind.			600px	600px
[6] This is the wrath point He stands in the over hew This is the direction, and note: whoever hews you from above, that you penetrate him with the wrath point and if he becomes aware, then take it away above without risk, and be strong here again, wind, hew, and stab, if he sees it, then take it low. Note this precisely: hew, stab, weak and strong and take it with half failers, but hit in as before and behind.			600px	600px
[7] He stands in the over hew This is the other wrath point. This is the other wrath point on the other side, take it also thusly: If they indeed both wrath hew from the shoulder, and one must make a stab from a hew, and the hew must be thrown, and take that also quickly away like the above.			600px	600px
[8] Here, fences to the war The two stand in the war This is the direction about the war: Whoever’s war aims above, he will be shamed from above low. Indes, before and after, don’t be quick to your war, understand this in all things if you want to make the war. Gloss note.			600px	600px
[9] This play is in the war This is also about the war, and should also know that in all windings, hew and stab swords, run-over sword, wind out in all exchanges if you want to fool the masters because there are very many breaks about them and also to them, realize how one bares with the war. Gloss note.			600px	600px
[10] This is an outer winding and break from the war This is another play from the war and a break of the previous play, and is an outer winding that goes: hew or stab, find slices well. You shall also hew, stab, slice below with need in all exchanges if you want to fool the master.			600px	600px
