[1 (137)] '''A Taking of the Sword with a Throw'''
+
[1] '''The Zornhaw against the Schaitler'''
  
When you are in the approach with your right foot standing forward, then step in toward the man with your left leg behind his right and cut toward his head with your long edge. At that moment, move your left hand from your grip to your sword blade. With that, wind the short edge on the left side of his neck. If you then stand with your right foot against him and he has confined<ref name="einengen">Choosing to read this as equivalent to modern German ''einengen''. “Trapped” as a translation for ''eineinden'' follows from this choice. Buyer beware.</ref> you like this, then plant the cross and shield of your sword under his left arm and briskly shove it upwards. Thus you take his trap<ref name="einengen"/> away. At that moment, grab the pommel of his sword with your inverted left hand and turn it well upwards. Thus you wind the sword out of his hands, and you may also be able to throw him.
+
When you proceed to close with the opponent, stand with your left foot forward and it happens like this with the Zornhaw. Hold your Duseggen with extended arm above your head on the right side such that the point hangs to the rear (left side of illustration), strike with the Zornhaw to the left side of his head, immediately follow outward with your right foot, and thrust to the right side of his face.
 +
 
 +
If he thrusts like this towards your face and you stand in the Schaitler with your left foot forward (right side of illustration), set his thrust aside with your long edge, follow outward with your right leg, and immediately strike to the left side of his head. If he displaces this, spring with your left foot before his right and strike with the long edge to his head.
 +
 
 +
If he then strikes a long one from above towards you like this, step in with your left leg and displace his strike, then immediately strike towards him with an Underhaw from your right to his left side.

[2] '''The Underhaw from Both Sides'''
| [[File:Cod.icon. 393 I 165r.jpg|600px|center]]
+
 
 +
It happens that you stand in the Underhaw with your right foot forward and hold your Duseggen with the hilt in front of your head and the point extended towards the opponent (shown left side of illustration). Immediately follow outward with your left leg and strike with the Zwirch to the right side of his head. If he displaces the Zwirch, pull the blow back completely and strike again to his right arm.
 +
 
 +
If he strikes you double like this at your right side and you stand with your left foot forward, set this aside with your long edge and immediately wind upwards over your head, step outward with your right foot and strike quickly to the upper opening on his right side. If he displaces this, wind the point to his face or chest.
 +
 
 +
If he then sets you aside like this, follow outward with your right foot and strike from above to the top of his head.

[2 (138)] '''A Planting which Proceeds from a Throw'''
+
[3] '''The Bogen from Both Sides'''
 +
 
 +
So you come to the opponent at the closing and it happens that you stand in the Bogen (bow) with your right foot forward such that your long edge is turned upward and your point is extended towards the opponent (shown in illustration). Immediately follow outward with your left leg and strike to his right elbow from below. If he displaces this, step with your right foot in front of and inside his right foot and strike to his head from above.
 +
 
 +
If he strikes to you like this from above and you also stand opposite him in the Bogen, set your right leg backwards and strike into the Zwirchhaw so that his strike is displaced. Then immediately step in with your right foot once again and strike him on his left side. If he displaces this, follow outward with your left foot and thrust to his face.
  
When you are in the approach with your left foot standing forward, then follow in after with your right leg inside of his left. In the same instant, cut to the left side of his head with your long edge. If he moves to strike a cut from above at you like this, and you are standing with your left foot toward him, then cut to the left side of his head with your long edge to oppose him, thereby taking away his cut on your left side. At that moment, cut him from his right side upon his left so that your short edge on his sword blade comes close to his grip. Next, let your left hand go from your pommel and take hold of your blade with inverted hand and plant it on the left side of his neck. Wrench to your left side, and thus you may be able to throw him over your left leg. If he has planted upon your neck like this and wishes to throw you, then quickly let your right hand go from your grip and plant it on his left elbow. Now strongly shove away from you and kick him in the ankle with your right foot around his left. With this, pull towards you below and shove away from you above. Thus, you throw him backwards.
+
If he then thrusts like this to your face, set it aside with your long edge. Then immediately step outward with your left foot and strike with the Zwirchhaw to his right arm.

[4] '''Two Absetzen from Both Sides'''
| [[File:Cod.icon. 393 I 166v.jpg|600px|center]]
+
 
 +
When you go to close with the opponent, it happens that you stand in the Absetzen (Set Aside/Parry Position) with your right foot forward and hold the Duseggen at your right chest. Immediately follow outward with your left leg and strike to his right arm from below.
 +
 
 +
If he strikes to your right arm like this and you also stand in the Absetzen with your right foot set forward, set it aside with your long edge. Then immediately follow outward with your left leg, grab with your left hand at his right, and strike him to his head.
 +
 
 +
If he has grabbed you like this and struck one from above, set your left hand on his right elbow and shove to stop his blow. Then immediately pull your right arm back, step behind him and strike to his upper opening. He displaces this promptly, so catch him again with a Zwirchhaw to his head.
 +
 
 +
If he does a Zwirchhaw like this to your head, catch him with a Krumphaw and cut to his face, then strike yourself from there to the rear.

[3 (139)] '''A Throw with the Sword'''
+
[5] '''The Zwingerhaw with the Schrankhut'''
  
If you stand in the approach with your right foot toward the man, then step in after with your left leg and cut to the left side of his head. If he is coming in at you in the approach with his left leg toward you and has taken your cut away, then transfer your left hand from your pommel to the sword blade and place it on the left side of his neck. Wrench him with this on your right side. If he has set strongly upon you like this, then allow your sword to quickly fall away and set your right hand outside on his left elbow and shove it away from you. If he has taken away your planting, then let your right hand go from your handle and grab his left knee and lift it up high. If he has seized you in this way and intends to throw you, then grab his right hand with your left and push it down, thereby taking it away. In the same instant, hit him in the ankle with your left foot around his left. Pull that strongly toward you while you pull his right hand to you with your left and also push him strongly away from you above with your right hand, thus you throw him backwards.
+
You come to the opponent at the closing and it happens that you stand in the Zwingerhaw (Swinging Strike) with your right foot forward and your Duseggen at your left shoulder (left side of illustration). Immediately follow outward with your left leg and strike his right arm. Thus you swing in so that he must displace (move out of the way).
 +
 
 +
If he swings towards you like this to displace you and you stand with your right foot forward in the Schrankhut (Barrier Guard) with the point on the ground and the long edge directed at the opponent (right side of illustration), then pull your right foot back and go upwards with the Duseggen in front of your head. Then immediately step outward again with the right leg and strike to his left side. If he displaces this, hang on your right side so that the long edge is turned upwards, spring with your left foot behind his right, and strike with the Zwirch to his right ear.
 +
 
 +
If he does the Zwirch like this to your right side, displace it with your long edge. Then immediately step in with your right leg and cut inward to his right arm from below while simultaneously gripping his right hand with your left so that you have gained the upper opening.

|}
+
It happens that you stand in the Entrusthaw (Anger Strike) with your left foot forward and hold your Duseggen with the hilt at your right knee such that the point is turned towards the opponent (left side of illustration). He then strikes to your upper opening, so follow outward with your right foot and go with your Duseggen up over your head so that the long edge is turned upward and his strike is displaced. Then immediately strike quickly with the Zwirch to his right ear.

If he strikes like this with a Zwirch to your right ear and you stand with your right foot forward, displace him with your long edge and follow outward with the left foot. Then quickly flow off (Ablauffen) and strike his right arm. If he displaces this, follow after him double with a thrust to his face or chest.
 +
 
 +
If he then follows after you like this, step to the rear with your right leg and strike him at the same time double to his head.
 +
 
 +
If he strikes double like this towards you, step with your right foot in front of his left and wind with your short edge on his long edge at his left side. Then immediately cut to his face or neck.

[7] '''A Low Mundiern with a Geferhaw'''
 +
 
 +
When you come to the closing with the opponent, it happens that you stand in the low Mundiern (transition/changer) with your right foot forward, the long edge below the hilt near your right knee such that the point is going in between your legs. Immediately go up and follow outward with your left leg such that your long edge is turned upward and the point directed at the opponent. Follow outward with your right foot once again and strike with the long edge to his head.
 +
 
 +
You stand against him in the Geferhaw (Danger Strike) with your right foot set forward and he strikes like this at you. Set your right leg to the rear again and go with your Duseggen well up over your head such that the long edge stands above. Thus his strike is displaced. Then immediately work quickly at the weak and strong seeking from one opening to another, from below and above.
 +
 
 +
If he then seeks your openings like this from above, Duplier (double) the opponent towards his face so that you deceive him to think you have made a following stroke to his head. If he consequently sets this aside, strike a Creizhaw (Cross Strike) in front of his face to his right arm.

[8] '''Two Positions from which the Creizhaw Proceeds'''
 +
 
 +
When you come together at the closing, it happens with these positions: your right foot is set forward, your Duseggen held with the hilt near your right knee with your left hand behind near the point (left side of illustration). He then strikes to your opening from above, so go up with your Duseggen above your head such that your left foot is set forward. Thus his strike is displaced. Then immediately strike with a doubled Creuzhaw (Cross Strike) to his head.
 +
 
 +
If he strikes you double like this from above and you have your Duseggen at your right leg with the long edge directed at your opponent, the point directed at the ground, and your right foot set forward (right side of illustration), shove this away crosswise with your short edge. Then immediately set upon him with a cut from below on his right arm and grab his right elbow with your left hand so that you shove him from you. Follow outward with your left leg and strike him to the upper opening.
 +
 
 +
If he shoves you from himself like this and intends to strike you from above, spring backwards with your left foot so that you can once again come to your work.

[9] '''Perceiving the Weak and Strong'''
 +
 
 +
When you come together at the closing, set your right foot forward and strike him in opposition in the bind. Perceive whether he is soft or hard with his Duseggen. If he is hard and holds against you strongly, follow outward with your left leg and allow the weak to quickly pass and strike his head on his right side.
 +
 
 +
If he then strikes you like this from above and you also stand against him in the bind with your right foot set forward, follow outward with the left and displace his strike with the strong of your Duseggen. Then immediately step in once more with your right leg and strike to his left side. If he displaces this, pull the right foot back again and thrust to his face.
 +
 
 +
If he then thrusts like this to your face, take the thrust away with your short edge and cut with the long edge to his face.
 +
 
 +
If he cuts like this to your face, drop a Krump on him so that you have the cut as good as he and may work with him all the previous techniques.

[10] '''A Cut with a Reyssen'''
 +
 
 +
When you come before the opponent, it happens that you stand with your right foot forward, your Duseggen extended well away from you, and cut to his head.
 +
 
 +
If he intends to cut to you like this and you also stand with the right foot opposite him, strike a straight strike to his head and in the process drop your hilt over his right arm near his Duseggen and snatch (Reyssen) downwards so that you have countered his cut. Then immediately follow outward with your left leg at this right side and strike with the Zwirchhaw to his head.
 +
 
 +
If he does a Zwirchhaw like this towards your head, set your right leg back and displace his Zwirch with your long edge. Then immediately shoot in with your Duseggen to his face. Should he perceive the shooting in (Einschiessen) and displace it, step in with your right foot once more and let a double Feler (failer/feint) quickly pass. Then immediately strike his right arm.
 +
 
 +
If he strikes like this to your right side, step in the triangle and turn the long edge above your head so that the strike goes along your long edge. Then immediately follow after him double and strike to his upper opening.

 +
 
 +
If he intends to cut you with the strong like this and you stand with your right foot forward, step with the right to the rear so that you go out from his cut. Then immediately go in again with your right foot with your Duseggen above your head such that the long edge is turned upward and the point hangs to the rear. Then immediately follow outward with your left leg and do a double strike to his head. If he intends to displace this with the Zwirchhaw, then grip with your left hand over his right hand and take his position away so that you may again strike to the upper opening.
 +
 
 +
If he strikes double like this to your upper opening, then grip with your left hand at his right elbow and turn him hence away from you. With that strike or cut to his head.

 +
 
 +
If he shoots the point to your face like this and you stand against him in the Kron (Crown) with your left foot set forward, take this away with the Kron. Then immediately turn yourself out of the Kron into a position with your Duseggen over your head. Follow outward with your right leg and strike from below to his right arm. If he displaces this, allow it to run off (Ablauffen) and strike from above to his right side.
 +
 
 +
If he strikes you like this from below and above, drop a Krump on him over his right arm and step in with your left leg, set your left hand on his right elbow and shove him away from you so that you can strike him to the head from above.

 +
If he has caught you like this and thrown the Schaitelhaw, step with your left foot in front of his right and grab his right with your left forward near the Duseggen so that you can cut through to the face.
 +
 
 +
If he intends to cut through to your face like this, step back with your left foot and turn yourself up with your Duseggen at your right side such that the long edge stands above. Then immediately strike quickly to his left side. If he displaces this, spring with your right foot to his right side and strike with a doubled Creizhaw to his head.

If you stand opposite him with your left foot forward in the Zwirchhaw and he cuts like this towards your right arm, turn yourself with your Duseggen above his and with that snatch towards yourself. Thus you have countered his cut and may cut him. If he intends to set this aside, step to the rear with your left leg and thrust to his face.
 +
 
 +
If he then thrusts like this to your face, displace this with the Bogen, step outward with your right foot and strike to his left side. If he displaces this, step to the rear with your right foot and strike with a Zwirch to his right arm.
 +

[12] '''A Long Point against a Bind'''
 +
 
 +
When you go to close with the opponent, strike in freely from the Sturzhau (plunging strike) double towards him so that you come before the opponent standing with your left foot forward, your right hand at your hip and your staff’s point opposite his face. Then immediately follow outward with your right leg and thrust your long point to his throat.
 +
 
 +
If the thrusts to your throat like this and you stand with your left foot forward in the bind against him, take it away with your foremost point and immediately follow outward with your right foot and strike to his head, and in doing so, wind your staff around in front of his neck. Then step with your left foot in front of his right, press over and away from you and strike him from above so you can take advantage of his weak position.
 +
 
 +
If he intends to weaken you like this, follow outward with your left foot, take away his point with your staff and immediately wind your foremost point to his face. If he displaces this, change through and thrust him once again to the face from the previously described stance.
 +
 
 +
If he thrusts you double to the face like this, set it aside with your foremost point and wind the rearmost point to his chest. With that yank yourself back into a good stance.

[13] '''An Inverted Strike against an Abnemen'''
 +
 
 +
It happens that at the closing you strike towards him with a doubled Prusthau (chest strike) as you come to him. Then step in with your right foot towards him and at the same time release the staff to quickly pass over and strike his head with an inverted hand. Then once again grip the staff with your left and wind your foremost point into his face.
 +
 
 +
If you then stand like this against him with your left foot forward and with your staff extended and the point directed at the ground, take aside his strike with the portion of the staff between your hands (as shown in the illustration), step in with your right leg and wind your short point in your right hand to his face. If he displaces this, step to the rear again with your right foot and thrust your long point to his face.
 +
 
 +
If he thrusts to your face double like this, take it away with your foremost point and immediately step in with your left foot and thrust your rearmost point double to his face.  Should he perceive this double thrust and displace it, strike him quickly with your long point to his right side. If he displaces this as well, wind double to his chest. With that step back into a good stance.

 +
 
 +
When you come to close with the opponent, step in with your left leg and hold your staff with your right hand above your head and your left hand well forward on your staff and stab to his left elbow so that you capture his gewicht (sleeve?).
 +
 +
If he thrusts like this to the sleeve of your left arm and you likewise have your staff in your right hand above your head and your left foot set forward, set this aside upwards from upon your staff and immediately thrust to his groin. Thus you hit him with your thrust below his, which is in vain. Then immediately follow inward with your right leg and wind your rearmost point to his face.
 +
 
 +
If he winds like this to your face, set it aside with your foremost point. Then hold your staff directly in front of your face and immediately step in with your right foot towards him and strike his staff out of his foremost hand with your rearmost point and thrust with your foremost point to his face. If he sets this aside, yank your right leg back and shoot your long point to his chest. With that step back in to a good stance.

It happens at the closing that you stand in this position with the feet equally together, your staff pointed at the ground, the left hand mid-way on the staff, the right hand at your right side and present yourself with your body in the Wag (balanced stance or position). Then immediately step in with your left leg and thrust your long point to his chest.
 +
 
 +
If he thrusts like this to your chest and you stand with your left foot forward, your staff at your left leg pointed at the ground and your right hand over your head near your point, then step in with your right leg and set this aside with your foremost point from your right hand. Then immediately step again with your right foot to the rear and thrust with the Gewalt Stoss (power thrust) with your strong and with your long point to his face.
 +
 
 +
If he thrusts with the strong like this to your face, step in with your left foot in the triangle so that you avoid his thrust. Then immediately step in with your right leg towards him and release your staff to pass over and strike his head. Then grip your staff once again with your left hand and wind double away from him back into a good stance.

If he sets this aside, follow outward with your right foot and wind your rearmost point to his face or chest.
 +
 
 +
If he thrusts double like this to your face, go forward with your staff and set this aside with your foremost point. Then follow outward with your left leg and thrust your rearmost point to his face out of the Crossed Wechsel. If he displaces this, quickly wind him again double to his left side.
 +
 
 +
If he travels after (nachraisen) you like this, set this aside with your half staff. Then follow outward with your left leg and stab with your rearmost point to his left side. Then immediately yank your left leg back and strike him with your foremost point to his head. With that step back into a good stance.

 +
It happens at the closing that you step in with your left foot towards him and thrust with your staff from your left side inward between his arms to his left chest. He then stands opposed to you also in the Upper Thrust from his left side with his left foot set forward and thrusts to your chest as well. Then release your left hand from your staff and grip with it to his staff near his point and at the same time wind your point beneath his left shoulder with your right hand. Then step in towards him with your right foot and with that wind both staves at your right side with crosswise arms. Thus you will have him such that he cannot work against you.
 +
 
 +
If he has you locked up like this such that you cannot work with your staff, then quickly allow the staff to drop, set your left foot behind his right from the outside, grab with your right hand to the back of his right knee and with your left below his right shoulder well around and across your body. Thus you will with this prevent him from harming you.

[18] '''A Thrown and Pinned position from which He Cannot Escape'''
 +
 
 +
Hold yourself as follows at this closing. Strike inward with the Sturzhau (plunging strike) towards him, then set your left foot forward and thrust your foremost point to his face.
 +
 
 +
If he thrusts like this to your face when you are opposite him at the closing, then set it aside with a forward wind at your staff, step in with your right foot towards him and thrust your long point to his chest.
 +
 
 +
If he thrusts like this to your chest, then step well in towards him and set the thrust aside with the mid-point of your staff between your hands. Then immediately throw your staff outward over your head, put your body in the Wag and grab with both hands to his waist. Then squeeze him to you and lift him well upwards so that you have him in the weak position.  Then immediately throw him down so that you have used him to break your own fall. Knee him to his groin with your right foot between his feet and your left beneath his right. Seize both his hands for by the throat and press hard everywhere to the ground so that you control him (as illustrated).
 +
 +
If you have thus been violently thrown down and controlled, quickly take heed that your hand is not locked up, but rather stop him with either hand in his face, the thumb under the chin and the other fingers beneath the eye sockets. Grab hence strongly with either hand. Thrust him strongly to the groin. Extend a foot that is unencumbered and at the same time yank him against you so that you give him a good one to the groin. With these three grips you can bring him to the mark.

[1] '''The first two bindings with the pike on the weak and the strong '''
 +
 
 +
Do this device thus: hold your pike on your left side, and stand with your left foot forward. Stretch out your right hand holding the back end of your pike on your right side and take hold of it with the left hand. Then, step forward with your right foot and thrust to his face. If he attacks you thus, and you then stand with your left foot forward, holding your pike with at level with your left knee, and the right hand by your right leg, then parry his thrust with the front end of your pike, change through, step forward with the right foot, and thrust to the right side of his chest from our right side. Should he parry this, let the tip sink to the ground, step back with the right foot and lift up the pike in front of your face with the right hand over your head, place it back on the side and thrust from your right side to his left. If he thrusts at you thus, then parry his thrust, step back with the right foot and swing the pike up, and go to the strong, i.e. you direct the pike towards his face, and sense if he presses his pike hard or loose against yours on your right side. Then grab the pike with in the front end again, step forward with your right foot and thrust to his face on his right side. If he parries, then step back with the right foot again, lower the point to the ground, and lift it over your head in good protection, as you back away from him.

[2] '''The weak and strong on the pikes at first contact '''
 +
 
 +
When you engage in fencing with the pike in this device, you do thus: stand with your right foot forward and direct the point towards his face, and keep your left hand by the left leg. Then, step forward with your left foot and thrust towards his throat. If your opponent on the other hand attacks you thus, and you then stand with your right foot forward and the right hand by the right knee, and your left hand above your left leg, then do as follows: move his thrust aside to your right with your front end, step forward with left foot and thrust to his face. Should he parry, you change through underneath, and thrust to his chest. Then, you step forward again with your right foot and lift the pike up into free position, i.e. holding it level with your head, either to the right or left of you, and then thrust to his face. If he attacks you thus, then step back with the left foot and parry with a crossed changing guard to your left. Take a step back further with your right foot and turn the pike out of the changing guard to your right and thrust again at the same spot. Then you lower the tip raise your right hand above your head, holding the pike in front of your face in good protection. Furthermore, should your opponent use the same double thrust against you, then quickly parry between your hands, step forward with your left foot and thrust to his chest, then you may retreat from him unharmed.

The right open guard is performed thus: stand with your right foot forward and the point on the ground, left hand on back end and right hand by your right knee. From here, you step forward with your left foot, raise the point and thrust to his face. If he tries to do this to you, and you then stand with your left foot forward, with left hand by your left knee, and the right hand on the back end, and leave the open guard and enter into the crossed changer, and parry as you take a step back with the left foot. Then raise the pike into free standing with feet together, and the pike resting on your left elbow. Step forward again with the left foot, and thrust hard against your opponent’s face. If your opponent parries, step forward again with your right foot, and thrust to his left side. If he does this to you, then push away his thrust with the front end of your pike, from the left side to your right, and quickly thereafter you step forward with your right foot and thrust to his groin. Should he parry, you step forward with the left foot, raise the pike above your head and thrust to his face. If he does the same double thrust to you, then parry with the front end, change through from his left to his right and thrust to his face or chest. Then, turn to your right in open guard with right foot forward and withdraw from your opponent in good defence.

If your opponent comes at you this way while you are standing in the crossed changer, right foot forward, then pull back your right foot, and parry his thrust to your right. Then, step forward again with your right foot, and thrust to his face. If he parries, then you step further with your left foot, change through from your right side to his left, and thrust to his chest. If he does this to you, then parry with the front end of your pike and, step forward with your left foot and thrust him in the chest as well. If he parries, and you are then standing with your left foot forward, then parry with your front end, step forward with the right leg, and thrust to his face. Then step back again and lower the point to the ground, raise your right hand over your head and the pike before your face. Should he then come after you, then execute an as long thrust as you can at him and move away from him, well defended.

This manner is how you perform a reversed thrust: stand with your left leg forward, holding your left hand by your left knee, and the right on the back end of your pike between your legs, point directed towards your opponent. Then step forward with your right and pretend to thrust to his left side,<ref>German text says right</ref> but instead you change grip and thrust a reversed thrust. If he does that to you however, while you are standing in a parry, then step forward with your left lower the tip to the ground raise the back end up in front of your face with straight arms, and remove his thrusts above and below, from one side the other. Having parried thus, then step forward with your right, raise your pike you your right, and turn in a thrust to your opponent’s throat. If he parries, then change through from your right to his left, and thrust to his face. If he sees it and parries, then step forward with your left foot and thrust to his left side. If he uses the same attack, and you are then standing with your right foot forward, then turn your right hand to your left and parry thus. Then enter the strong position, step forward with your right foot and thrust to his upper opening, and you may step back from your opponent well protected.

[10] '''A low run-in against a low parry'''
 +
 +
Perform this device as follows: when you engage with your opponent, then bind with his pike with your front end, and step forward with your left, and sense if he pushes firmly or loosely against your pike. If he is loose, then let your pike shoot back through your hands step forward with your right and thrust to his throat. If your opponent does this, and you are standing with your left foot forward, left hand by your left knee and right hand on the back end by your right leg, then step forward with said (right) leg and parry his thrust between your arms, then quickly pull back your right leg and turn your pike to the right, and as you do so pull your pike through the hands, this way you will again come on equal terms with your opponent. Then, change through from his left side to his right, and thrust to his face. If your opponent does this however, then parry with the front end to your right, pull back your right foot and shoot the point in from his right side into his face, and step away from him, well protected.

[11] '''A parry against a forceful free thrust from the strong*'''
 +
 
 +
Perform the device in this manner: stand with your left leg forward, pike held above your head with the right hand on the back end, and the left in the middle, point directed toward the ground. If he then thrusts out of the strong, i.e. with the point directed to your face, sensing you pressing hard against his pike, and steps forward with his left leg, then parry to the right and left and, lift the front end of your pike, step forward with your right foot, turn your pike through and thrust to his face. If you see him do this to you, then step back with your left foot and, change grip with your right hand on the pike and turn it to your right side, you will parry the attack. Then, leave the bind and thrust to the right side of his face. If he does this, on the other hand, and you are standing with your right leg forward, then quickly turn your pike from his left side you his right and thrust to his groin, and from here you step away from him making sure you do so well away from harm.

[12] '''A bind followed by a run-in and a throw '''
 +
 
 +
If you wish to perform this device well: then step with your left foot forward and bind with the weak against your opponent’s right side. Then swiftly change through and thrust him in the left side. If you see him coming at you this way, then parry in the middle of your pike, step forward with your right foot and, raise your arms above your head, and thrust to his face or chest as hard as you can. If he does this, though, then let go of your pik and turn away his pike from your chest with your left hand, step in quickly, and grab the middle of his pike. If your opponent has grabbed hold of your pike in this manner, then let go with your left hand and grab him by the weak point by his right elbow. Then step with your right foot behind both is feet, grab hold with your right hand in the weak point behind his left elbow, cross your arms forcefully, so that you can shoot your head through between them. Then, if you turn this way, you can lift him up on your back without any risk of harm, and carry him away however you like.

Present yourself like so in this piece: When you both are going together, stand with your left foot ahead and hold your scythe on your right side with your left hand at the lower grip, your right on the middle one. At that moment cut to his left side, in around toward his right arm. If he cuts at you like that and you also are standing with your left foot toward him, and you too are holding your scythe on your right side with your left hand at the lower grip, your right at the middle one, then leap in a triangle and set his cut off outside in front with your scythe on your right side. Now step in there out of triangle with your left leg and cut at his neck. If he cuts high at you in that way, then step backwards with your left leg and parry his cut outside in front on your scythe. In the same moment, nimbly step in there again and wind your scythe behind your head and out from there with a cut from your left side to the right side of his head, and with that, step back away from him.

Conduct yourself like so in this piece: When you are both coming together, stand with your left foot forward and hold your spear toward the man with your right hand on your right side, your left in the middle on the shaft. At that moment, stab toward the left side of his body. If he thrusts at you like this, and you stand with your right foot toward him, and you support your halberd with your right hand by the back end on your right side, your blade toward the man, then take his thrust away with your blade on your left side. In that moment, follow in after with your left leg and stab him in his nuts. If he thrusts low at you like this, then step back with your left leg and take his thrust away on your left side with the forward part of your spear. If he has taken you away like this, then cut to his head with the blade of your halberd. If he cuts high at you like this, then move towards his cut and stab over his left arm through his neck, then you may plant him to the ground.

When you both are coming together, then conduct yourself like so in this piece: Stand with your left foot forward and hold your spear in the air in front of your face with your right hand on the back end, your left at the middle. At that moment, cut to his head. If he cuts from above at you like this, and you also stand with your left foot toward him, and you are supporting your halberd with your right hand at the back end behind your head, your left toward the man on the shaft by the blade, then take away his cut on your right side with your blade.

[1] '''A cut from above with the sickle from both sides'''
 +
 
 +
If you both approach each other, and hold the sickle correctly, if you put your right foot in front and hold the sickle in the right hand  next to the left side of your head, and stretch the opened left hand towards your opponent, and from there follow with the left [foot], you cut his head from his right side. But if the opponent turns at you in the same way, [while you are] standing with the left foot in front, holding the sickle in the right hand, holding [it] next to the head down at the left shoulder, with<ref>Literally: put</ref> the left on the right [hand], then deflect with your sickle your opponent to your right side. Then, if you have grabbed the right [hand] of the opponent with the left hand, you wound his head on the right side. But if the opponent comes at you in the same way from above, if you quickly grab his right [hand], you can in this way turn away his cuts. And from there, you can immediately, if you pull the right [hand], try to cut the left leg of the opponent standing in front. But if he tries the same, then push the right elbow of the opponent more inwards with your left hand, if you then pull back the right hand, you can hit his head with the point of the sickle and pull back again.

[2] '''A low and a high cut'''
 +
 
 +
In mutual battle, if like an athlete you prepare yourself for the fight, you will put your right foot in front, and opposite the opponent hold the sickle with the right hand, but hide the left arm under the right arm, and if from there you make a pass with the left foot,<ref>Literally: pull back the left foot</ref> you will by cutting from the low position stop the right arm of the opponent. But if in the same way you place your right foot opposite him, and hold the sickle with the right hand in the manner of the high cut, and the left under the right arm, then you will displace his attempt to your left side with your sickle, and meanwhile, after you have with the left hand grabbed the right hand of the opponent, from the left side of your opponent cut his neck with the sickle. But if he comes at you in the same way from above, you will again grab his right hand with your left hand, and if he makes an attempt, displace this to your left side, and hit his left arm with the sickle, and from there again pull backwards. But if the opponent pulls back, you will with two steps press on to threaten the opponent and cut his head.

[3] '''A cut against a way of pulling by the opponent'''
 +
 
 +
In this fight, when you come closer to the opponent, you will stretch your right arm, and with the right hand hold the sickle opposite him, but hold the left [hand] on the left hip, and then, after you have followed with the left foot, you will hit the head of the opponent with the sickle. But if he comes at you in the same manner, [while you are] standing with the right foot in front, and if you hold the sickle against the opponent with the right hand and in the same manner hold the left hip with the left hand, you will displace his attempt to your right side. If from there you connect the sickle with his right arm, you will quickly pull him towards you. But if he wants to pull you towards him in the same way, if then with the left hand you grab his right, and to your right side displace the attempt of the opponent, hit his head immediately on the left side and from there pull back. But if the opponent likewise pulls back again, you will threaten him sharply by following him, and hitting the right hand of the opponent with the sickle.

In this manner, you can adapt to the opponent, when you stand up straight with both legs together, and with the right hand hold the sickle high, with a straight arm, next to the head, but place your left hand in the same way on the left hip, and if from there you step in with the right leg, you will hit the head of the opponent with the sickle. But if he takes the same position against you, [you] standing with the right leg in front, and with the sickle in the right hand next to the leg that stands in front, and the left hand in the same manner on the left hip, you will with a raised sickle displace his strike to your right side. If from there you follow with the left, you will hit the right leg of the opponent standing in front. But if it happens that he, from the low strike hits you in the same manner, you will with your left hand grab his right elbow from the outside, pull it towards you, and if you place the sickle on the right shoulder of he opponent, you will put him down by cutting.

To the aforementioned manner, you can adapt in this way: if you remember to place the right foot in front and to hold the sickle against the opponent with the right hand, if you connect the left [hand] with the left hip, you can then cut his right arm with the sickle. But if he approaches you in the same way, while you hold your right foot in front and against the enemy hold the sickle with the right, then place your left arm onto his right arm from the the front, and displace the cut of the opponent towards the left side: if you grab the aforementioned hand strongly, from there you will wound his right arm with the sickle. But if he uses this, then with the left hand grab the right of the opponent, make a pass inwards with the left foot, and if you lift his right above the<ref>German: his</ref> head, and immediately pull back your right again, you will hit his groin with the sickle. But if the opponent also uses this, bring the left hand up over his own right arm,<ref>German: grab with your left hand from below outside over his right arm</ref> and if you then in that manner pull him hard towards you, you can break the opponent’s arm, and from there cut his neck and pull back again from the opponent.

[6] '''The double cut against the double parry'''
 +
 
 +
In the mutual battle of this fight, when you yourself reach the opponent, then put your left foot in front, and hold the sickle high with the right hand opposite the opponent, and cut his neck from the right side. But if he in the same manner comes at you from above, [while you are] standing with the right [foot] in front, then hold the sickle against the opponent in the manner of the low cut, and block his right arm with the left hand, and after you have lifted this high, you will cut his right arm next to the armpit with the sickle. But if he attempts the same, after with the left hand you have grabbed the opponent’s right and have lifted this, you will displace his cut in this manner. But if you from there immediately retract the right, you will try to cut the right foot of the opponent [which is] placed in front. But if the opponent in the same manner uses this, then grab his right hand with your left, and in this manner displace his attempt, and if you then pull back the right hand immediately, you will wound the neck of the opponent with a cut, and pull back from him again.

If you both approach each other, then put your left leg in front, and hold the sickle high with the right hand against the opponent, and from there cut his head. But if he in turn attempts to injure you from above, then again put your left leg in front, and hold your sickle against the opponent in the cut from below, then you will hinder his right arm from the front with the left hand, and if you then lift this, you can displace the high attack of the opponent. And from there you can injure the knee of the opponent’s left leg, [which is] placed in front. But if the opponent in the same manner hinders you from below, you can hinder his right elbow from the inside with the opposed left hand, and if you then displace him strongly, you will displace his cut, and if you then quickly again pull the right hand towards yourself, and attack the right arm of the opponent by cutting, you will from there pull back from him again.

In this manner you will behave in a mutual fight: remember to place your left leg in front and to hold the sickle high with the right hand opposite the opponent, and you will hit part of his neck or his left side. But if the opponent in the same manner attempts to cut, you, standing with the right foot in front against him, will then hinder the right hand of the opponent with your left hand, and if you then lift it high, you will in that manner displace the enemy cut. And from there you will not omit to hit the left side of the neck of the opponent with the sickle. But if he will come at you from above, you will with the left hand hinder his right elbow from the inside, and if you pull that back hard towards your left side, and so displace the opponent with force, if you then immediately follow up with right towards the inside, for him towards the left side, and immediately pull your right hand towards you, you will cut the left side of the enemy body with the sickle, and from there make sure that you pull back from the opponent safely.

To the aforementioned manner in a mutual fight you can adapt as follows: put the right foot in front, and hold the sickle with the right hand high from the right side, and connect the left [hand] with the left hip, and follow the placing of your body to the left, then cut with the sickle in the left side of the neck of the opponent. But if the opponent has come at you in the same manner, then place the right foot in front against him, and hold the sickle high with the right hand, and connect the left [hand] with the left hip, then direct the left hand from below upwards and you will block his right arm next to his shoulder, and if from there you pull him towards you as hard as you can, you will displace his cut and in the meantime cut the head of the opponent. But if he in turn tries to hit your head, then grab his right hand with force with the left hand, and if you displace that to the left side, you will deflect the cut of the opponent. And if you have finished this situation, then quickly reach with the sickle to his right leg, [which is] placed in front, and from there pull back.

To this technique you will adapt in the following way: put the left foot in front and hold the sickle opposite the opponent with the right hand, and you will cut his neck from the right side. But if he attempts (to hit) you in the same manner, [while you are] standing with he left foot in front, you will again lift the sickle with the right hand, and with the centre of the sickle block his attempt, and immediately after that with the left hand attack his right elbow by pushing against it, and then lifting him strongly upward: and if you then suddenly pull the right [hand] towards you, after you have followed with the right foot, you will cut the neck of the opponent from the right side. But if the opponent attempts the same against you, you will with the left hand grab his right on the inside, and if you lift it, you will deflect the opponent’s idea against you. But if you are deflected in the same way by the opponent, you will immediately attempt to cut his left foot, [which is] placed in front, and when you pull him towards you by pulling, it is possible to injure him by cutting, or to throw him.

In the fight you will act in this manner: put your right leg in front, and hold the sickle with the right hand opposite the opponent, but put your left against your left hip, and from this position you cut the enemy’s neck from outside on the right side with the sickle. But if he uses this against you, [while you are] standing with the left foot in front, and are also holding the sickle in the right hand opposite the opponent, then grab the right elbow of the opponent with the left hand from the outside, and if you sharply displace that towards your right side, you will deflect the cut of the opponent, and from there you will make sure that you cut his right elbow from the outside with the sickle. But if the opponent attempts the same against you, you will not neglect to grab the right arm of the opponent with left hand and in that way displace his cut. And from there you will with force attempt to cut the left leg of the opponent, [which is] placed in front, after pulling back the right [hand] towards you. But if he has come at you in the same way, you will displace him with force with the left hand against his right arm. But if the opponent displaces you in the same way, you will suddenly pull back your right, and if from there you injure his head by cutting, pull back from him again.

But if the opponent acts against you in the same manner [while you are] standing with the right foot in front, and you in turn are holding the sickle in the right hand in the manner of the middle cut, then with the left hand grab the right arm of the opponent at the front, next to the hand, and if you lift him upwards in that way, you will displace the cut from above. And quickly you will wound the right side of the opponent with the sickle. But if you understand that he attacks you in the same manner, then with the left hand hinder the right elbow of the opponent from the outside, and if you push the opponent strongly away towards your right side, you will deceive his middle cut, and meanwhile follow with the left foot and hit his right leg, [which is] placed in front, and from there again pull back from the opponent.

Meanwhile you will cut the right arm of the opponent from above next to the hand. But if he attempts to injure you in the same manner, you will place your left hand on the chest of the opponent between both his arms, from the right side, and in this manner you will push him away, and from his cut you will safely release yourself. But meanwhile, after you have pulled towards you with your right hand, you will cut the right arm of the opponent, and from there pull back from him again.

If it will be necessary to adapt to this action in this manner, you will put your right foot in front, and hold the sickle with the right hand, in front of your face opposite the opponent, but also place the left [hand] against the left hip. Meanwhile you will place the left foot outside behind the right of the opponent, and in the manner of a cut from his right side connect the sickle around the loin to hit. But if he attacks you in approximately the same manner, you in your turn will use the learned method [a cut around the loin from the right], and pull the opponent towards you from there. But if he in his turn connects his sickle with your loin, you will with the left hand hinder his elbow on the inside, and displace the attack of the opponent to your left side. Further, if you in turn are displaced by him in the same manner, if you have grabbed his chin with the left hand, you will lift this up. But if the opponent attempts to turn this against you, you will immediately attack with the sickle, and pretend to want to attack the opponent from above to cut, but to deflect you will cut his left arm and in this manner you will free yourself, so that he cannot grab your chin. But if you understand that the opponent wants to do the same against you, then throw the sickle away, and throw your left hand from above against his neck, and put the right on his genital, and if in this manner you will lift up the opponent, you will throw him down on your left side.

But if he in the same manner uses the middle cut against you, you will again place the right foot in front, and with the middle of the sickle deflect his attack to your right side. But if you are in the same manner deflected by the opponent, you will place your left hand against his right elbow from the outside, and from there put him away towards your right side. But if he in his turn puts you away, you will direct your sickle around his loin from his right side in the manner of a cut. Further, if the opponent attempts it in the same manner against you, you will throw away your sickle, and take hold of the side of the opponent’s head with the right hand, with the left hand on the left side, and in this manner you will turn the face of the opponent upwards towards the sun and at the same time you can throw him towards your left side.

 +
Item, conduct yourself thus in the onset with the daggers. Wind yourself with stabs and with thrusts to him [so] that your right foot stands forward.
 +
 
 +
If he thus thrusts to you at your right side and you stand also with your right foot forward against him, so take him out away from there with an outside binding [so] that your thumb stands above on your pommel. Immediately pull your dagger nimbly to yourself and thrust to him therewith at his right side.
 +
 
 +
If he should thus then thrust at you, so take that [his] away from below so that your thumb stands on your pommel and the blade lies outward on the arm.<ref>Note: Change of grip required, or the illustration does not match.</ref> Immediately step with your left leg behind his right and grab with your left hand on his right elbow. Shove him therewith from you and, simultaneous with the shove, stab at his face.
 +
 
 +
If he has thus seized you and stabs at your face, so take him away nimbly inwardly with your left hand.  Immediately set your right leg back on your right side so you wind yourself from him.

[1] '''First engaging into grappling'''
 +
 
 +
Do as follows when going towards him in this wrestling device: first of all, pay attention to whether he comes at you with his arms high or low. If he holds his arms high, then you do not need to worry about him, and use whatever techniques you want. If his arms are low, however, then keep the thumbs in your hands closed, your left hand on your left side, your right hand att your right side, and your left foot forward. Then enter the scales position, and you have your advantage over him.

When you are in the approach with your left foot standing forward, then follow in after with your right leg inside of his left. In the same instant, cut to the left side of his head with your long edge. If he moves to strike a cut from above at you like this, and you are standing with your left foot toward him, then cut to the left side of his head with your long edge to oppose him, thereby taking away his cut on your left side. At that moment, cut him from his right side upon his left so that your short edge on his sword blade comes close to his grip. Next, let your left hand go from your pommel and take hold of your blade with inverted hand and plant it on the left side of his neck. Wrench to your left side, and thus you may be able to throw him over your left leg. If he has planted upon your neck like this and wishes to throw you, then quickly let your right hand go from your grip and plant it on his left elbow. Now strongly shove away from you and kick him in the ankle with your right foot around his left. With this, pull towards you below and shove away from you above. Thus, you throw him backwards.

Wrench him with this on your right side. If he has set strongly upon you like this, then allow your sword to quickly fall away and set your right hand outside on his left elbow and shove it away from you. If he has taken away your planting, then let your right hand go from your handle and grab his left knee and lift it up high. If he has seized you in this way and intends to throw you, then grab his right hand with your left and push it down, thereby taking it away. In the same instant, hit him in the ankle with your left foot around his left. Pull that strongly toward you while you pull his right hand to you with your left and also push him strongly away from you above with your right hand, thus you throw him backwards.

Lift high upwards with your right while pushing away from you above toward your left side. Thus, you throw him over your left hip. If you have thrown him like this, then fall with your right leg between both of his by his crotch. With your left knee, kneel upon the muscle of his right arm, and grasp the muscle of his left arm with your right hand. Thus you are able to hold him down so that he cannot get away or free himself from you. As you do this, you may be able to stab him in the eyes or face with a dagger in your left hand. Or you may be able to throw dirt or sand in his face and deal with him as you wish.

 +
Step forward with your right foot and hold your sword by your right breast with the point toward the opponent and your buckler in front of your face, and when your opponent steps forward with the left foot and strikes from above to your head as he takes a step forward with his right foot, you move your buckler forward and parry it to your left, as you step forward with your left foot and thrust him in the belly or groin. If your opponent does this, then push the thrust down to your right with your buckler as you step back with your right foot and do cross strikes and double thrusts.

[52] '''A pull with the hilt in your opponent's arm along with a cut to his neck'''
 +
 
 +
Step forward with your left foot and hold your sword in your right hand and your buckler in your left. Then step forward with your left foot and try to thrust your opponent in his right armpit. If he tries to do thus to you, as you are standing with your left foot forward, holding your sword in your right hand, then tip your point down slightly toward your opponent, and hold your buckler in your left hand over your chest as you step forward with your right foot and put it on the outside of your opponent's right and thus you parry his thrust with a hangning point from below to your right. Immediately then pull your opponent's hand with the hilt and cross of your sword just behind his own pommel, while you with the long edge lying on your opponent's neck, pull back your pommel and hilt as hard as you can, and you will slice his neck. But if he tries to do this, then put your left foot on his right side and raise your buckler to his left side, turn your sword so that your cross is on the outside of your opponent's arm and strike it back, thus you will evade his attack.

[53] '''How to take the opponent's buckler'''
 +
 
 +
Stand with your right foot forward and step forward left and thrust to his chest, and then cut to his head. If he does this to you, while you are standing with your right foot forward, then grip your sword with your left hand in the middle of the blade together with your buckler, step forward and parry his attack on the buckler. Then you raise your buckler and sword to parry and step forward with your left foot as fast as you can, and grab hold on the inside of the opponent's buckler with your right hand and twist it out of his hand. Then you throw it into his face, steb back and take your sword in your right hand and thrust him in the face or chest. If he does the same to you on the other hand, then raise up your left arm to protect your face and do a cross cut from below to counter his thrust. And if you instead of the above mentioned thrust from above out of a cross cut from above you will also counter his buckler throw and his thrust.

[54] '''The second way of taking the opponent's buckler along with a throw'''
 +
 
 +
When you step together and both thrust at each other and both parry with the buckler, then step forward with your left foot and hold your buckler in your left hand extended toward your opponent as you thrust to his face or chest. If your opponent thrusts at you in the same manner, then grab hold of the middle of the blade with your left hand and the buckler in front of, so that the tip of the sword  is pointing up, and step forward with your left foot against his thrust. If your opponent then wants to cut at you, then step in and parry with the buckler and the sword and then swiftly grab hold of the inside if his buckler and twist it out of his hand. Then step back with the other foot and throw the buckler in his face. Then grab hold of your own sword with your right hand and then step in with your right foot and thrust hin in the face or chest. If your opponent does the same to you, and you have stepped back holding up your left arm to protect your face, you will parry his attack. If he then continues to thrust to your face or chest, then step back and cut cross cuts and double thrusts at him, and you will parry all his attacks.

[55] '''An armlock'''
 +
 
 +
Step forward with your left foot, holding your sword with the point directed at the opponent on your right side and your buckler in front of your left breast. Then step forward with your right foot and thrust to your opponent's face or chest. If your opponent attacks you in this manner, and you are standing with your right foot forward, then parry his thrust on your buckler, and step forward with your left foot on the inside of his right and cut him in the head. If your opponent tries to cut you in this manner, then hold your buckler in front of your face to parry and cut him swiftly in his face. Should he do this, then remove his cut and step close to him. Lift your buckler and move your left arm over the outside of his right arm and around, så that his right hand that he is holding his sword with ends up behind your armpit. Fasten the buckler you are holding in your left hand firmly under his right arm and put your left leg on the outside of the back of his right knee, turn you your left, and you will throw him backwards. If this were to happen to you, in that case, make sure to parry his cuts and thrusts with your buckler.

[56] '''A throw with the sword'''
 +
 
 +
Put your right foot forward and thrust from above with the sword in your right hand and hold your buckler with the left arm outstretched by the sword pointing at your opponent. Then step forward with your left foot and thrust from below a half thrust to your opponent's belly or chest. If your opponent comes att you in this manner, then step forward with your right foot and parry the thrust with your buckler. Should he parry your thrust thus, then without hesitation, cut a thwart cut to his head. If your opponent does this, then put together both hands holding the sword and the buckler and parry the strike this way. Then you step in quickly and move your left arm over his right behind his sword and hold firmly, as you thrust him in the chest. However, if your opponent has taken hold of you in said manner and tries to thrust you in the chest, then parry with the buckler. Should your opponent parry with the buckler then, step with your left foot as fast as you can behind the back of his right knee as you take a firm hold of your opponent's right armpit with the left arm. If you then push away from you and upward, your opponent will fall backwards and lose his sword. If this were to happen to you, then kick him in the groin with the other foot and parry with your buckler his cuts and thrusts or whatever he were to do to you.

[1] '''A parry against a death strike with the poleaxe'''
 +
 
 +
Step forward with your right foot towards your opponent and hold your poleaxe over your hed with both hands and the point directed at the opponent. If he is standing with his left foot forward and is about to strike you with a death strike, then parry his attack to your left. Then you pull back your ase and thrust him in the groin. If your opponent does this on the other hand, you parry with the back end, and step forward with your right foot and strike him in the head with the axe blade. If he parries with the shaft between his hands you turn in the back end between his arms into his face. If he does this, then step back with your right foot and parry with the shaft between your arms. If he parries, you strike again to his upper opening. If your opponent strikes at you in the same manner, you parry with the shaft. Then, if you pull you your right you will thrust him win the face with the point. Then you change through with the axe and step back.

 +
This device is executed thus. Stand with both legs straight and hold the shaft of your axe with both hands and the left hand raised behind your head. Then you step forward with your right foot and strike your opponent in the head with the blade of the axe. If your opponent comes at you like this, and you are standing with your left foot forward, holding the axe with your right hand at head hight and the left hand on the lower end pointing to the opponent, then parry with the shaft to your right. Then you thrust him in the chest with the front point. If he would do the same, then parry his thrust on the shaft between your hands to your left, and thrust him with the front point over his left hand and into his chest, and pull towards you hard. When you have done this, you may change through and move back.

In this device you do thus: step forward with your right foot and hold your poleaxe in good defence turned toward the opponent. Then you step forward with your left foot and strike a death strike to his head with the axe. If your opponent comes at you in the same manner, and you are holding the poleaxe in both hands then grab the upper end of the shaft with your right and the lower with the left, step forward with your right foot and remove his strike to the left with the shaft. Then you step forward with your left foot and direct the back end over both arms, switch grips, and pull your opponent's right hand toward you (above) with the axe blade, and below, with his left hand with your left arm. If your opponent were to do this, then let go with your right hand, grab his left shoulder and push him away from you. Should he do this on the other hand, then you step back with your left foot and direct a thrust with the front point into his chest, and step back from him in good defense.

this device is performed thus: stand with the left foot forward and hold the axe raised over in front of your face with the right hand on the middle of the shaft and the left on the back end. Then, step forward with the right foot and thrust your opponent in the groin. If he does this to you, and you are standing with your right foot forward, holding your axe before your face with both hands, right hand on the back end and the left by the blade, then parry to your left with the back end and strike hom in the head with the blade. If he parries on the shaft between his hands, you thrust the back end into his face between his both arms. Should he parry this as well, you step back with your left foot and strike him in the right arm with the blade. Then you step away from him while turning the axe around.

If you want to be the victor in this device, do as follows: stand with your right foot forward and raise the axe up in front of your face on your left side, and holding the right hand on the back end and the left on the middle of the blade. Then you step forward with your left foot and strike him in the head with the blade. Should he parry between his hands on the shaft, then move down your front end as well as the blade into the back of his right knee, and pull toward you. If he should do this, however, then put your axe blade around his neck, and pull toward you, that way he cannot hurt you. If your opponent pulls you toward him in the same manner, then take a triangle step and parry his strike between both hands on your shaft, and push up, that way you will weaken him above. Then, let go of the axe with your left hand and grab hold of his right leg and lift it up, and you will throw him backwards.

When you enter before your opponent, then stand straight with your feet together holding your axe raised up with both hands before your face. Step forward with your left foot and strike him in the head with the blade of your axe. If he were to do this to you, then strike against his strike and parry this way. Then you move in the lower end over his right arm and press your opponent's axe and yours together with your right hand. Then, turn to your right and you will pull his axe rather painfully out of his hands. If he breaks in in the same way and wants to take your axe from you, then leg him do so, and grab hold on the outside of his right armpit with your left hand, and push him away forcefully as you grab hold of the axe with the right hand again and step back. Then strike a death strike to his head with the blade.

[1] '''The Zornhaw against the Thrust'''
 +
 
 +
It happens that you stand with the Zornhaw (Wrath Strike) with the left foot forward. Then follow after with the right and hit him strongly from above to the left side. If he deflects this, then strike nimbly to the next opening.
 +
 
 +
If he strikes you wrathfully like this, then wind against the Zornhaw in the Hanging Point and let your point properly go forward shooting in (Einschiessen) to the face or chest. If he perceives this thrust, then drive with the sword well up over your head, spring with your right foot to his left side and cut him with the Zwirchhaw (Across Strike) to the head.
 +
 
 +
If he strikes towards your head like this with the Zwirchhaw with crossed arms, then displace this with your long edge, then immediately yank back your sword (as in illustration) and wind your point from your left side to his face or chest.

[2] '''The Krumphaw from Both Sides'''
 +
 
 +
When you come to the closing with the opponent, set the left foot forward and hold your sword with the point at your right side and remain hence standing in the Krumphaw (Crooked/Off-line strike). If he then strikes you from above to an opening, step outward with your right foot and give him a Krump to his right side and strike him at the nearest opening.
 +
 
 +
If he gives you a Krump like this and you stand with your right foot forward likewise in the Krumphaw, then step in with your left leg and displace his strike with your long edge. Then immediately follow outward with the right foot and drop a Krump onto his sword with your short edge and with that cut through his head.

[3] '''The Zwirchhaw from Both Sides'''
 +
 
 +
When you come to the closing with the opponent, stand with the right foot forward such that the short edge is wound towards you. Then follow outward with your left leg and strike the Zwirchhaw with crossed arms. If he displaces this, then wind in the weak and strike him long to the upper opening.
 +
 
 +
If rather you stand with the left foot forward and likewise lie against him in the Zwirch with crossed arms, then follow outward with your right foot and turn your hand so that the flat of the sword stands in front of him and strike with the Zwirch in towards his left ear. If he displaces your Zwirch, then let a double feint pass and strike him to the top of his head on the right side.

[4] '''The Schillerhaw (Squinting Strike) from Both Sides'''
 +
 
 +
When you come to the closing with the opponent, set your left leg out in front such that the short edge is wound under. Then step out with your right foot, wind your pommel beneath your right arm and set upon him with the point.
 +
 
 +
If he sets upon you with the point like this, then displace it and immediately wind in the Zwirch, hang with your sword against the Zwirch on your right side and step out with the left foot. Then wind the point in between his arms such that the short edge stays on top (as in illustration).
 +
 
 +
If he winds his point in between your arms like this, then set this aside with your long edge. With that press downward and let the weak run and strike him with the long edge to his head.

[5] '''Schaitlerhaw (Vertex Strike)'''
 +
 
 +
Stand with the left leg in front and lift your sword above your head with extended arms (as in illustration). Then spring in towards him with the right foot and strike with the long edge directly to the top of his head. Then sink the point downward to his face or chest.
 +
 
 +
When he then does the Schaitler to you, displace it with the Kron (Crown) such that the point and the hilt of your sword both stand above you.
 +
 
 +
If he then fires out to thrust the point upwards towards you, wind your sword through under his Kron with the edge against his arm and with that cut him over both of his arms.
 +
 
 +
If he cuts over your arms like this, then step back with your right foot and set his cut aside with the Krumphaw with your short edge and with that cut to his right side.

[6] '''The Ochs from Both Sides'''
 +
 
 +
It happens like this in the Ochs (Ox). Stand with the left foot forward and hold your sword with crosswise hands above your head. Then wind and step with your right foot to his right side. If he perceives this Upper Hanger, then strike in the Zwirchhaw with crossed arms.
 +
 
 +
If he strikes the Zwirch towards you like this, displace it and immediately wind and hang the point towards the face or chest. Then strike in strongly from above to his head. If he displaces this, strike the double feint, then immediately quickly take (the opening) before you from which to work a strike, thrust or cut.
 +
 
 +
If you then stand with the right foot opposite him and he works quickly at you, then set this aside with doubled cuts on both sides and immediately strike with the Zwirch with crossed arms to the right side of his head. If he displaces the Zwirch with the long edge, then let off and strike with the short edge from above.

 +
 
 +
Step in towards the opponent with the right foot and hang the sword at your left side. Then drive up with the hilt over your head, step across with your left leg, and strike the Zwirch. If he perceives the Zwirch and displaces it, then spring across with your right leg and strike to the top of the head.
 +
 
 +
But if you stand opposite him in the Pflug (Plow) and he does the Schaitlerhaw to you, then wind upwards into the Prechfennster (Speaking Window) so that you are looking out through the arms and your right foot stands forward. Then drop down and strike in with the half edge to the left ear.
 +
 
 +
If he strikes you like this, then displace it with your long edge and then immediately wind with your point to his left face or chest. Then let off (Ablassen) with your sword, step with the left foot in front of his right, and strike from above to his head.

 +
Stand with your left foot forward with outstretched arms such that the point is directed at the ground and the short edge is up (Alber/Fool, at left of illustration). Then fly up with your sword with crossed arms in front of your head in the Versazung (Parry Position), step in with your right leg, and shove the point into the left side of his face.
 +
 
 +
If you should perceive this thrust and stand with your right foot opposite him in the guard vom Tag (from the Roof, at right side of illustration), then take away the thrust with a Krumphaw and strike with the Zwirch. Then immediately drop down and cut through the face.
 +
 
 +
If you perceive that he intends to cut you like this, then push away his cut with your long edge and immediately wind with your point towards the left side of his face or chest. Then follow with the left foot in front of his right and strike his right forearm.
 +
 
 +
If he strikes towards your arm like this, displace it with the long edge, step with your left foot in front of his right, and let the weak of your sword run and strike him to the top of his head.

[9] '''The Strong and Weak with Which to Instantly Note Evenness'''
 +
 
 +
You stand with the right foot forward and bind his sword with your Schweche (weak). Then determine whether he is soft or hard at his sword. When he is soft at the sword drop down on his left side, step out with your left leg, and Zuck (yank) all hits you will throw at the opponent.
 +
 
 +
When you stand opposite him likewise in the weak and he does the Zucken (yank) against you, then step back with your right foot and strike a Creizhaw (Crossing Strike) to his right ear. If he displaces your Creizhaw, then drop down and shoot the point double to the face and with that strike his head from above.
 +
 
 +
If he hits towards your head like this, then do not displace this. Rather step away from the strike to his right side and Zwirch to his head.

 +
You stand with your left foot forward in the Unterhau (Upward Strike) and he adheres to your hands from above (as in illustration). So step outward with your right foot and drop a Krump on him at your left side.
 +
 
 +
If he drops a Krump on you and you stand with your left foot forward, then drop down quickly and step out with your right leg. With that strike him from above to the right side of his head. When he displaces this, strike him from below to his left side with your long edge. Then immediately step back and strike him from above a long one to the head. If he travels after, then set the point in his chest. If he sets aside your point, then strike with extended arms back away from him.
 +
 
 +
If he strikes back away from you like this, then travel after him double with cuts and strikes from above and below, whatever he makes you do.

[11] '''Another Nachraisen'''
 +
 
 +
When you stand with your left foot forward, step outward with your right foot and strike from your right shoulder with an extended blow to his head.
 +
 
 +
If he strikes a long one like this to your head and you stand with your left foot forward, then adhere to him with the short edge, step outward with the right foot and wind to his left ear such that the hilt stands in front of your head. Should he perceive the winding and displace it, then hang and pass through with your sword and strike him to the nearest opening.
 +
 
 +
If he seeks your opening like this, then strike against him with your long edge and set this aside below and above, extend your trunk and arms well and seek with your point the opening at his face or chest. Then immediately strike a Zwirch to his head with crossed arms.
 +
 
 +
If he does the Zwirch towards you like this, then displace it with your long edge and wind the short edge to his left ear. Then yank your right foot back once again and strike to his right ear.

If he strikes you wrathfully like this from above, step inside with your right foot in front of his right, grip the Duseggen with your left hand and set him aside from below his right hand. Thus your hilt comes up onto his head. Then immediately cut hard from above away from you and yank your right foot from beneath you. Thus you cut him to the ground.

 +
If he has set you aside like this upward from below and intends to cut you to the ground, then step to the rear with your right foot and strike his left arm strongly from above. Thus will you be free of the defense from below and above. If he then follows after you closely, strike from below with a Zwirch to his right arm.

[7] '''A high and a low cut and their parry'''
 +
 
 +
If you both approach each other, then put your left leg in front, and hold the sickle high with the right hand against the opponent, and from there cut his head. But if he in turn attempts to injure you from above, then again put your left leg in front, and hold your sickle against the opponent in the cut from below, then you will hinder his right arm from the front with the left hand, and if you then lift this, you can displace the high attack of the opponent. And from there you can injure the knee of the opponent’s left leg, [which is] placed in front. But if the opponent in the same manner hinders you from below, you can hinder his right elbow from the inside with the opposed left hand, and if you then displace him strongly, you will displace his cut, and if you then quickly again pull the right hand towards yourself, and attack the right arm of the opponent by cutting, you will from there pull back from him again.

 +
 
 +
It happens like this with these fencings in the Sword: stand with your right foot forward and strike him to his right side. Then immediately spring in with your left foot and thrust to his right thigh.
 +
 
 +
If he has thrust to your forward set thigh like this, then yank it back, spring in quickly again with your left and thrust him with your Sword to his throat with your Buckler in your left hand.
 +
 +
If he then thrusts to you, parry this with your Buckler, at the same time thrust in with your Sword under your left arm to his body and spring with your right foot on his right side. With that thrust into his chest under your Buckler.
 +
 
 +
If he thrust to you like this, then spring back with your left foot and parry the thrust. Then immediately thrust to his groin. If he parries this with his Buckler, then pull your thrust back again and with that strike to his right arm.

[18] '''Two Bindings from the Left Side'''
 +
 
 +
Hold yourself like this with these techniques in the Sword: stand with your left foot forward, your left arm outstretched with your Buckler so that your Sword stands at your right chest with your cross under the point opposite the opponent with your blade on your left arm (shown in illustration). Thus you can thrust to his left side. Then immediately spring in with your right foot and strike to his right arm. If he parries this with his Buckler, then thrust quickly to his groin.
 +
 
 +
If he thrusts towards you like this and you stand with your left foot forward, then spring back with both feet together and set his thrust aside with your Buckler. Then immediately spring in quickly with your right foot against his right side with another thrust. If he parries this with his Sword, then strike him quickly to his forward set leg.
 +
 
 +
If he strikes like this to your foot, then yank it back and thrust immediately to his face.
