'''''Kunstlicher stuck Kämpffens Ringens und Werffens''''' ("Artful Devices of Fighting, Wrestling, and Throwing") is a brief [[century::16th century]] [[nationality::German]] [[wrestling manual]] of uncertain origins. The most extensive version is an anonymous chapter in [[Christian Egenolff]]'s 1530s fencing anthology, ''[[Der Altenn Fechter anfengliche kunst (Christian Egenolff)|Der Altenn Fechter anfengliche kunst]]''. Two manuscript copies appeared around the same time, a series of sketches by [[Gregor Erhart]] in 1533 and a mostly complete painted manuscript by [[Jörg Breu the Younger]] some time before 1545. One of these two may be the archetype for this treatise, and until further evidence appears we will assume that it is the latter. The treatise was further duplicated in the succeeding decades in several other manuscripts, and in the 1540s it was revised for inclusion the manuscripts of [[Paulus Hector Mair]].

In this, like in all fencing, it is to pay the utmost attention to strengths and weaknesses. So as you come up to someone, concentrate your efforts to where he is strong so that you strike with vengeance at his nearest weakness (like how every single strength brings its weakness) and exploit it. Thus you bring him to ruin.

Thus you make him collapse.

If you are overpowered and thrown down, then quickly pay attention that your hand is not locked down. In particular, immediately drive a hand into his face, thumb under the chin and other fingers under the eyeball and firmly grab him there. With the other hand, strike him hard near the bladder. Stretch your freest leg, pull him quickly against you, then give him a good hit to the testicles. With these three grips at once, you may move him off you.

Concordance by Michael Chidester

Kunstlicher stuck Kämpffens Ringens und Werffens ("Artful Devices of Fighting, Wrestling, and Throwing") is a brief 16th century German wrestling manual of uncertain origins. The most extensive version is an anonymous chapter in Christian Egenolff's 1530s fencing anthology, Der Allten Fechter gründtliche Kunst. Two manuscript copies appeared around the same time, a series of sketches by Gregor Erhart in 1533 and a mostly complete painted manuscript by Jörg Breu the Younger some time before 1545. One of these two may be the archetype for this treatise, and until further evidence appears we will assume that it is the latter. The treatise was further duplicated in the succeeding decades in several other manuscripts, and in the 1540s it was revised for inclusion the manuscripts of Paulus Hector Mair.
