[1 (137)] '''A Taking of the Sword with a Throw'''
 
 
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.

[2 (138)] '''A Planting which Proceeds from a Throw'''
 
 
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.

[3 (139)] '''A Throw with the Sword'''
 
 
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.

Present yourself like so in this piece with the approach: Step in there with your right leg and shoot the point of your dussack high over both his arms into his face. If you are then in the approach with your left leg coming in there toward him, and he is thrusting at your face like this, then go up in the Crown with your dussack, with your left hand forward by the point and with that take away his thrust to your right side. In that instant, release your left hand from your dussack out of the Crown and cut at him from your right side toward his face. If he cuts at your face like this, then go against his cut with the long edge and take it away on your left side. In the same moment, let the weak of your dussack fall away and step in with your right leg and cut toward his right arm. In that instant, pull back away from him.

[46] '''A Dussack Hold'''
+
[1] '''The First Two Upper Bindings from the Right Side'''
  
Follow this piece in the approach like so: If he is coming in against you with his right leg and stands in the Bow, and you also stand with your right leg toward him, then snatch hold of his dussack with your left hand, [catching it] close to the point. Turn it toward your left side, and in the same moment step in with your left leg and cut toward his head with your long edge. If he has seized your dussack like this and cuts from above at you, then come to the aid of your right hand with your left on the handle of your dussack. Wind it out of his left hand. In the same moment, step in the parrying with your left leg to his right side in a triangle and quickly cut toward his right arm.
+
It happens that you are closing with the staff. Step towards him with your right foot on the inside and wind from above from your right shoulder with the right hand outside of his staff. In the winding feel for whether he is soft or hard in the bind. If he is hard against you and holds against your strong, follow with your left leg after and at the same time change through from his left upon his right side and stab him to his face.

If he stabs like this to your face and you also stand against him in the bind with your right foot forward, your right hand forward midway on your staff, then set this aside with our foremost point on your right side. Step with your left leg inside and wind your rearmost point to his face. If he sets this aside, then follow after with your right leg and strike him wickedly with your upper point out of the bind to his head.
|
 
[47] '''A Throw with the Dussack'''
 
  
If both of you have come together in the approach and have bound with each other, then stand with your right foot forward and wind the handle of your dussack over his right arm. Once you have wound over his arm like this, then quickly step behind his right with your left leg and go around his neck with the point of your dussack, and then grab hold of your point with your left hand. In that moment, quickly and strongly pull it toward you. Thus you throw him backwards over your left leg.
+
If he strikes similarly from above to your head, set your left leg back and displace this with your foremost point. At the same time, thrust him to his chest. If he displaces this, pull back your thrust against him and stab him in his right arm. Then wind backwards away from him.

[48] '''A High Planting with a Throw'''
 
 
 
Present yourself like so in this piece with the approach: Step in to him with your right leg and cut to his head with your long edge. If he cuts at you from above like this, and you stand with your left leg toward him, then rush to oppose his cut with your dussack. With that, take away his cut on your left side and push hard away from you. In the same instant, wind over his dussack with your long edge and plant your dussack on his neck so that you have the dussack in both hands. Now, hit him in the ankle with your left foot around his right and strongly pull him toward you; above, strongly push him away from you with your dussack at his neck. Thus, you throw him backwards.

[49] '''A High and Low Planting'''
 
 
 
When you come in to the approach with your left leg, and you are in a high cut with your dussack in the air, then step in to him with your right leg and cut outside and from above toward his right arm. If he cuts at you from above like this, and you stand against him in a low cut, then step in with your right leg and quickly cut him outside and from below toward his right arm. If you have planted upon him from below like this, then pull your dussack down and cut above to his head with your long edge. If he cuts high to you like this, then move to oppose his cut with your dussack, taking it away on your right side. In the same moment, leap to his right side with your left leg in a triangle and shove your point at his face. Cut back away from him.

[50] '''Taking Away Two High Cuts with the Dagger'''
 
 
 
When you are in the approach, follow this piece like so: Step in with your right leg and cut high at his head with your long edge. If he cuts at you from above like this, and you stand with your left leg toward him, then move to oppose his dussack with your dagger, parrying his cut with the cross of your dagger. In the same moment, cut toward his head with your dussack, as he did to you. If he cuts at you like this, then go up to his dussack with your dagger (as he did to you) and parry with the cross of your dagger. In the same moment, turn his dussack to your left side with your left hand inverted and wind the point of your dussack to his face. With that, cut away from him.

[1] '''The First Two Oberhau with the Halberd from the Left Side'''
+
[1] '''The first two bindings with the pike on the weak and the strong '''  
  
It happens at the closing that you stand in this technique with your left foot forward and hold your Halberd above your head. Then immediately follow outward with your right foot and strike to his head.
+
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.

If he strikes like this to your head and you also stand opposite him in the Oberhau with your left foot forward, then set your left leg back and strike him similarly from above so that his strike is in vain. Then immediately lift up and thrust your foremost point into his face. If he displaces this, change through from his left to his right side and set your blade on his right arm.
+
|-
 +
|
 +
[2] '''The weak and strong on the pikes at first contact '''
  
If he has set upon you like this, then step back with your right leg so that you strike away from him. Then immediately stroke upwards with your Halberd before his face and in the stroking wind on his halberd at his left side. At the same time wind your Halberd and snatch it towards you. If he is strong and will not give way, step in with your right leg once more and thrust to his chest.
+
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.  
 
+

If he thrusts like this to your chest, then step back with your left leg again and set the thrust aside with your rearmost point so that you are free from harm.

[2] '''The Underhau with the Halberd from Both Sides'''
+
[3] '''Right and left open guard'''  
  
It happens at this closing with the Underhau that you stand with your left foot forward and hold the point downward opposite of the opponent. Then immediately move your right hand to your right hip and thrust to his face or chest. If he sets this thrust aside, change through from his left to his right side.
+
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 the thrusts double like this to your face and you stand with your left foot forward also in the Underhau, then drive with your right hand to your right hip with your Halberd and set this aside at your right side with your blade. Then immediately follow outward with your right leg and set your foremost point at this chest.
+
|-
 +
|
 +
[4] '''Free standing against the bar guard '''
  
If he sets the point at your chest like this, step back with your left leg, then immediately quickly yank the right back as well so that you can again match him equally and strike an Oberhau to his head.
+
When entering before your opponent, perform the free standing thus: stand upright with your left side turned toward him, and hold your pike resting on your left arm with the point towards your opponent, and your right hand on the back end. From here, you step forward with the right foot, and thrust as hard as you can towards his body. 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.

From here you shoot the pike through your hands towards your opponent’s chest. If he does this to you, and you are about to thrust to his face, standing with the left foot forward, you step forward with right, turn the pike to the left of you and thrust to his face. Should he parry, then step back with the right foot, and if the opponent comes after shooting his pike at you, then parry to your right with the crossed changer guard, step forward again with your right and thrust to his face.

[7] '''Simple changer against a middle pike position '''
  
If he thrusts like this to your face and you stand with the left foot forward, go forward with your Prusthau and set his thrust aside with that. At the same time step in with your right leg and thrust to his chest. If he displaces this, change through at his Halberd from his right to his left side. Then immediately step with your left foot in front of his right and thrust double to his face.
+
Enter the simple changer as follows: step forward with your left leg, and hold your pike with the point to the ground, your left hand by your left knee and your right on the back end to your right. From here, step forward with your right foot and thrust to your opponent’s left side. If your opponent attacks you in this manner, and you are then standing in middle pike position with your left foot forward, with both hands at chest level on your right side, then step forward with your right leg and parry with the middle of your pike, then step forward again and thrust a half pike thrust to his face, and he can do no more against you. If he attacks you thus, and you cannot parry with your front end, then change through and pull back the pike, that way you are again on equal terms with your opponent and may fight with him. Now, you step forward quickly and thrust from middle pike position wherever you see him open. Should he parry, then step forward with your left and thrust to his chest. If he thrusts at your openings in the same manner mentioned, then take two steps back in crossed changer, and take hold back end of the pike with your right hand, and from here you seek openings from the weak and the strong, and from one side to the other. Should he parry your thrusts, then wind in a long thrust to his face from your right hand, and withdraw from him protecting yourself as well as you can.

[8] '''A reversed thrust against a take off/parry'''
  
If he winds his rearmost point to your chest like this, step back with your left leg so that his winding is in vain. Then immediately thrust to his face, and with that yank yourself back with complete and half Halberd.
+
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.

If he parries and comes after you, then change through twice, and step back, so that you hold the back end of your pike in your right hand. Furthermore, should your opponent use the same technique against you, then thrust a long thrust to his groin, and step forward with your right, and thrust to his chest. Should he parry while you are holding your pike extended before you, then change through from his left to his right side, and turn in a thrust into his face. Should he parry this as sell, then step forward with your left and thrust to his left side as you move away from him well protected.

[15] '''An Ubergeen (Going Over) from above along with a Side Thrust'''
  
When you come together at the closing and have bound each other equally, hold your Halberd opposite his face and then immediately change aside on his Halberd and thrust to his face. Should he perceive this thrust and displace it, step in with your right foot and wind your rearmost point from below to his left arm.
+
It happens that you stand at this closing with your left foot forward and hold your Halberd at your right side with the point directed against the opponent. He then stands also like this against you at the closing. Bind with him equally and then wind your blade behind his hook and shove upwards with it.  
  
If he winds towards you from below like this, change up your left hand quickly on your Halberd and thrust with your foremost point to his chest. If he displaces this, strike with your rearmost point to his head.
+
If he has prepared your Halberd like this and shoves upward, step with your right foot behind his left, yank your Halberd over and thrust from below with your rearmost point to his left side (as in illustration). Then immediately set your right foot to the rear again and strike with your blade to his head.
  
If he strikes you like this from above, step back with your right foot and take his strike away with your foremost point. Then immediately wind strongly beneath his Halberd and shove it upward. Then step in double towards him and let your Halberd fall, grab with your right hand below to his left foot and with your left shove powerfully at his left knee so that you can lock his leg or throw him.
+
If he works at you like this, take it aside with your rearmost point and immediately follow outward with your right foot and strike his left arm. If he displaces this, wind in with your rearmost point between his arms to his chest and immediately step back with your right leg and strike to his head. Thus you strike as you get away from him.

Hold yourself like this in this piece in the approach: Step in toward him with your left leg and go up out from the lower guard with a thrust to his face. If he stabs you from below like this and you stand against him in the crossed guard with your right foot forward, then step in with your left leg and cut from above to oppose his thrust as you step. Push it downwards so that you take his thrust away. If he has cut at you in this way and taken away your thrust, then wind your blade from your left side against his halberd on his left side, thus you block him. In the same moment, then pull the halberd and thrust toward his face or chest. If he stabs at you like this, then take it away with your blade on your left side. In the same instant, cut to his head with your blade. Turn yourself twice back away from him.
+
It happens that you stand at the closing against the opponent with your left foot forward and hold your Halberd at your right side. He then stands likewise opposite to you in the Underhau with his right foot set forward and the Halberd on his left side. Stroke upwards towards his face with your Halberd.

If you are both coming together, then conduct yourself like this in this piece: Stand with your right foot in front and hold your scythe in a low cut with your right hand at your middle grip, your left at your lower one. At that moment step doubly in a triangle and cut to his right arm from behind your head so that your arms come crosswise one over the other. If he cuts at you like this, and you also stand with your right foot toward him, and you hold your scythe in a low cut, your right hand at your middle grip, your left at the lower one, then go up out of your low cut and take his cut away on the outside of your scythe on your right side. At that moment, step in a triangle on your left side with your left leg and wind your scythe behind your head and back out to his head, so that your arms come crosswise, one over the other. In the same moment, step back from him with a good parry.

If he cuts at you with a middle cut like this, then go inside to him with your scythe at his scythe. Shove strongly with it away from you on your right side. In that moment, step with your left leg to his right side and cut to his head. Step away from him with it.

Conduct yourself like this in this piece: When you are closing with each other, stand with your right foot in front and hold your scythe straight to the man with your left hand at your lower grip, your right at your middle one. At that moment, cut around his body toward his right leg*. If he cuts low at you like this, and you are also standing with your left foot toward him, and you hold your scythe toward the man with cross-wise arms, then take it away below with your haft on your left side. At that moment, quickly cut toward his neck. If he cuts high at you like this, then step around on your right side with your left leg and take away his cut with your hilt on your right side. In that moment cut toward his left (forward) leg. If he cuts low at you in this manner, then set your lower grip of your scythe before your left leg and step with your right to your left and with that, take his low cut away. In the same moment, go up and cut toward his neck. Step back away from him with it.

If the two of you are going together, then conduct yourself like this in this piece: stand with your right foot ahead and hold your scythe toward the man in a high cut, with your right hand at your middle grip, your left at your lower one. In that moment cut outside to his right arm. If he cuts high at you like this, and you are also standing with your right foot toward him, and you hold your scythe toward the man with your right hand at your middle grip, your left at your lower one, then set him aside with your lower grip. At that moment cut at him from below to the inside of his right arm. If he cuts at you from below in this way, then exchange your left hand from your lower grip to the middle one, and your right to where your left stood at the lower grip, thus you escape from his cut. In that moment, quickly cut at him from underneath toward his right arm and with that, step back away from him in a good parry with your scythe.

If he changes likes this towards your face, displace this in front with your Halberd and immediately wind through on his Halberd from one side to the other to seek his nearest opening. If he sets this aside, step in with your right leg and take his Halberd away with your rearmost point. With that thrust to his face or chest. Then step back into the Wechsel.

If you are both coming together, then conduct yourself like this in this piece: Stand with your right foot in front and hold your scythe in a low cut with your right hand at your middle grip, your left at your lower one. At that moment step doubly in a triangle and cut to his right arm from behind your head so that your arms come crosswise one over the other. If he cuts at you like this, and you also stand with your right foot toward him, and you hold your scythe in a low cut, your right hand at your middle grip, your left at the lower one, then go up out of your low cut and take his cut away on the outside of your scythe on your right side. At that moment, step in a triangle on your left side with your left leg and wind your scythe behind your head and back out to his head, so that your arms come crosswise, one over the other. In the same moment, step back from him with a good parry.

Meanwhile, strike him with your flail-head to the right side of his head. If strikes you from above in this way, and you stand with your right foot against him and hold your flail also with your right hand in the middle of your staff, your left on the back end, then drive against his strike with your flail and bind him on the staff of his flail. With that, displace his strike away to your left side as you follow with your left leg in and strike him with your flail-head to the right side of his body. If he strikes you in this way to your right side, then displace him with your flail to your left side as you step with your right leg to his left side and strike him with your flail to his head.

If he cuts a middle cut to you like this, and you also stand with your left foot toward him, and you also hold your scythe on your right side with your right hand at your middle grip, your left at your lower one, then step in there in a triangle with your right leg and wind your scythe behind your head and out again so that your arms come cross-wise over each other with a cut toward the right side of his body. If he cuts at you with a middle cut like this, then go inside to him with your scythe at his scythe. Shove strongly with it away from you on your right side. In that moment, step with your left leg to his right side and cut to his head. Step away from him with it.

Item: When you come together, do like this in this play: stand with your right foot forward. Hold the flail with both hands on the rear end of your staff.

If he strikes you from above in this way and you stand with your left foot against him and hold your flail with your right hand in the middle of your staff, your left by the back end, and stand truly in the Scales, so step back with your left leg and displace his strike away with the staff of your flail toward your left side. Simultaneously step nimbly with your left leg in again and strike him to the right side of his head. If he strikes at you in this way from above, displace him to the right side; meanwhile, follow in with your left leg and strike him on the right side of his head. If he strikes you in this way, then displace him to your right side. Meanwhile, follow with your left leg behind, and strike him to the left side of his head, and step back from him.

If you are both going together, then hold yourself like this in this piece: Stand with your left foot in front and hold your scythe in front of your body, toward the man, with your right hand at the middle grip, your left at your lower one. In that moment quickly cut toward his head. If he cuts high to you like this, and you are also standing with your left foot toward him, and you are holding your scythe high in front of your face with your right hand at your middle grip, your left at your lower one, then take away his high cut with your haft on your left side. If he has taken you away in this manner, then wind through underneath and quickly cut* to him with the point of your scythe toward his head. If he wishes to set you aside and cut at you like this, then go up with your scythe and take him away on the outside your scythe on your right side. At that moment, cut toward the left side of his head. With that, step backwards from him.

Item: Do like this: In this play, when you come together, stand with your right foot forward and hold your flail with your right hand in the middle of your staff, your left hand at the back end. Meanwhile, strike him with your flail-head to his extended left leg. If he strikes you below in this way, then withdraw your foot; meanwhile, step nimbly in again with the aforementioned leg upon his flail. So is his strike in vain. Meanwhile, strike him with your flail-head to his head or shoulder on his right side so that you bring the arms crosswise over each other. If he strikes at you in this way from above, and has stepped with his left foot upon your flail, then again seize your staff with your right hand. Meanwhile, step with your right leg back and pull your flail hard to you. So you escape the strike. Meanwhile, step nimbly with your right foot again and strike him with your staff to his arm. With that, withdraw yourself back from him.

Conduct yourself like this in this piece: When you are closing with each other, stand with your right foot in front and hold your scythe straight to the man with your left hand at your lower grip, your right at your middle one. At that moment, cut around his body toward his right leg*. If he cuts low at you like this, and you are also standing with your left foot toward him, and you hold your scythe toward the man with cross-wise arms, then take it away below with your haft on your left side. At that moment, quickly cut toward his neck. If he cuts high at you like this, then step around on your right side with your left leg and take away his cut with your hilt on your right side. In that moment cut toward his left (forward) leg. If he cuts low at you in this manner, then set your lower grip of your scythe before your left leg and step with your right to your left and with that, take his low cut away. In the same moment, go up and cut toward his neck. Step back away from him with it.

If the two of you are going together, then conduct yourself like this in this piece: stand with your right foot ahead and hold your scythe toward the man in a high cut, with your right hand at your middle grip, your left at your lower one. In that moment cut outside to his right arm. If he cuts high at you like this, and you are also standing with your right foot toward him, and you hold your scythe toward the man with your right hand at your middle grip, your left at your lower one, then set him aside with your lower grip. At that moment cut at him from below to the inside of his right arm. If he cuts at you from below in this way, then exchange your left hand from your lower grip to the middle one, and your right to where your left stood at the lower grip, thus you escape from his cut. In that moment, quickly cut at him from underneath toward his right arm and with that, step back away from him in a good parry with your scythe.

Meanwhile, strike him with your flail-head to his head or shoulder on his right side so that you bring the arms crosswise over each other. If he strikes at you in this way from above, and has stepped with his left foot upon your flail, then again seize your staff with your right hand. Meanwhile, step with your right leg back and pull your flail hard to you. So you escape the strike. Meanwhile, step nimbly with your right foot again and strike him with your staff to his arm.

If you stand with your right foot toward him, and you hold your dagger in your right hand along the inside of your right arm, your left hand on your left hip, and he thrusts at you like this, then fall upon his sword with your dagger and push it firmly away from you on your right<ref>The illustration suggests that this action should be done to your left side, rather than to your right.</ref> side, thus taking away his thrust. In that same moment, follow in with your left leg and catch his right hand with your left and stab him in the throat. If he stabs high at you like this, then seize his right with your left hand and take it away to your left side. In the same instant, step back away from him and quickly wrench your right hand toward you and cut to his head.

If he also strikes at you so from above, then step back with your right leg and take his upper strike away from him on your left side. Then step in again with the above-mentioned foot. Thus you come into your previous stance again and may strike him to the left side of his head.

If he cuts upon you from above like this, and you have your right foot in front, then step in with your left leg and go up high in front of your head in the Crown with your dussack, thereby parrying his cut. If he has taken away your cut like this, then step in with your right leg and wind your front end to his face or chest from below.

In the same moment, grab the back end of his halberd with your left hand and lift his halberd. Step in with your right leg and cut to his head in the same instant. If he then parries that, stab him in the face or chest. Immediately pull yourself back away from him with a Double Cut.

At that moment quickly cut toward his head. If he cuts from above at you like this and you also stand with left foot toward him, and you hold your sword on your right shoulder, the pommel in your left hand and pointed toward the man, then cut to his halberd with the long edge. Thus you take his cut away with it. At the same moment step in a triangle and cut to the left side of his head with the long edge.

Hold yourself like this with this piece: When you are both closing together, stand with your left foot in front and hold your spear on your right side with your left hand ahead toward the man, your right behind your right leg on your spear. At that moment quickly stab at him toward his face. If he stabs high at you like that, and you stand with your right foot toward him and you hold your sword in the Change on your left side, the point toward the ground, then go up with your sword out of the Change and with that strike to his spear. Thus you take away his thrust on your right side. If he has cut at your spear like this, then pull your spear downwards. In that moment, go up again so that you have your spear well out front in the middle and stab him through the left side of his body. If he has stabbed you through your body, then cut strongly to him with your long edge toward his head, and this strike must be done quickly or else it is wasted.

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.
+
When the two of you are coming together, then present yourself like so in this piece: Stand with your right foot forward and hold your sword on your right side with both hands on your hilt. At that moment, cut to his head with your long edge. If he cuts from above at you like this, and you stand with your left foot toward him, and you hold your dussack on your left arm with your right hand on your grip in the air behind your head, your long edge wound upward, the point toward the man, then take that away on your left side. In that moment, step in there with your right leg and cut to the left side of his head. If he cuts at you from above like this, then hang your sword on your left side so that the long edge is turned upwards and parry his cut with it. In that moment, cut to his left leg with your long edge and step back away from him with it.

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.  
+
Conduct yourself like so in this piece: If two of you are coming together, then stand with your left foot forward and hold your sword in front of your face toward the man. In that moment, cut to his head. If he cuts from above at you like this, and you stand with your left foot toward him, then quickly step in there with your right leg and parry his cut with your dagger on your right arm, close to the grip on his blade. In that moment, catch hold of his right arm with your left hand, (going) inside over his handle. Pull him to your left side and stab at his face. If he thrusts high at you like this, then let your left hand loose from the pommel of your sword, take hold of his left and shove it upward. Thus you take away his thrust. At that moment, step back with your left leg, yank your right hand to you, and take hold of your pommel again with your left. In that moment, cut to his head and step back away from him with it.

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.

If you are both coming together, then conduct yourself like so in this piece: Stand with your left foot in front and hold your sword with crossed arms, so your grip is on your right side and the point is toward the man. At that moment, turn your point with a thrust to his chest. If you stand with your right foot toward him, and you hold your dagger in your right hand along the inside of your right arm, your left hand on your left hip, and he thrusts at you like this, then fall upon his sword with your dagger and push it firmly away from you on your right<ref>The illustration suggests that this action should be done to your left side, rather than to your right.</ref> side, thus taking away his thrust.

In the same instant, step back away from him and quickly wrench your right hand toward you and cut to his head.

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.  
+
Present yourself like this in this piece: If you are both coming together, stand with your right foot ahead and hold your dussack in a low cut against the man. In that moment cut from below to his right arm. If he cuts from below like this at you have your right foot toward him as well, then take his cut away with your dagger on the outside of your right arm. In the same moment, grab the outside of his right arm with your left hand and step behind his right with your left leg and stab him in his face or the chest. If he thrusts at you like this, then snatch hold of his right with your left hand and shove it to your left side away from you, thus you take his thrust away. In the same moment, cut to his nearest opening just as soon as you find that opening, and step back away from him.

| <p>[10] '''One More with the Dagger against the Dussack'''</p>
[5] '''Two cuts that hit the arms'''
 
  
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.
+
When you both are coming together, then present yourself like so in this piece: Stand with your right foot forward and hold your dussack in the air over your head with your right hand. If he stands with his right foot toward you and holds his dagger on the outside of his right arm to parry, then step in there with your left leg and grab hold of his right arm with your left hand, catching his dagger’s blade and his arm together. At that moment, strongly cut at his head with your dussack. If he cuts at you from above like this, then go inside of his right arm with your left hand and push him strongly to your right side away from you. At that moment, go with your dagger in front of your head as you take his cut away. Now, step in there with your left leg and take hold of his right hand with your left and shove it well upwards and stab him in the face or the chest. Pull yourself back away from him with this.

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.
+
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.

[8] '''Two cuts against their parry'''
+
[1] '''A cut from above with the sickle from both sides'''
  
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.
+
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.

[9] '''A different manner for the above form'''
+
[2] '''A low and a high cut'''
  
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.
+
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.

[10] '''A cut from above against a way to parry'''
+
[3] '''A cut against a way of pulling by the opponent'''
  
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 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.

[11] '''Two cuts on the outside'''
+
[4] '''A cut from above and one from below'''
  
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.
+
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.

[5] '''Two cuts that hit the arms'''
  
In this fight, when you arrive at the opponent, you will remember to place your right foot in front, and if you hold the sickle high with the right hand against the opponent, you will hit his head. 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.
+
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.

You will adapt to the opponent from this fight in this way, that you put your right foot in front and hold the sickle with a stretched arm against the opponent, and you will make sure that you cut his head with force. And if he in his turn attempts to wound you, then you [standing] opposite him with the right leg in front, and the sickle held in the right hand in the manner of the cut from above, cover the right elbow of the opponent with the left hand from the outside, and if you then lift this, you will lift away his cut from above. 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.

In this fight, if you stand straight with both legs in the same place, and with the right hand hold the sickle at the right side, but at the same time grab it with you’re the left [hand] and place the right against the right hip, and then place the left foot in front next to the left foot of the opponent, on the outside, and if you cut to his left foot, [which is] placed in front, you will in this manner pull the opponent towards you. But if he uses this against you, you will block the left shoulder of the opponent with the left hand, and if you pull the opponent down towards your left side, you will deflect his cut. But if meanwhile you throw the sickle between his legs in his genitals, and from there you pull him towards you, it will be possible in that manner to throw the opponent over the left leg, [which is] placed in front.

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.

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.
+
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.

[16] '''A way to throw the enemy on the ground by lifting him'''
+
[9] '''A different manner for the above form'''
  
If you want to use this action in an athletic manner, you have to place your right foot opposite the opponent, and hold the sickle opposite the opponent with the right hand in the manner of the cut from below, but place the left against the left hip, and if from there you move forward to the inside with left, you will place the sickle against his right arm to cut. 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.
+
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.

[81] '''A throw from the tongs'''
+
[10] '''A cut from above against a way to parry'''
  
When you face your opponent in this device, do thus: step with your left leg outside his right. If he then stands with his right foot forward and grabs you by the crotch, then swiftly take hold of his left hand with your right and pull him towards you, and with your left hand grab him by his left elbow. If he holds you this way, and pulls you close, then grab hold with your right hand on his left shoulder and onto his collar. If he holds you thus then let go with your left hand from his left elbow, and put it on his neck, that way you will throw him from the tongs over your left leg.
+
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.

[82] '''A toppling from the tongs'''
+
[11] '''Two cuts on the outside'''
  
In this device you do as follows: stoop down into the scales, so that your right leg comes forward, and if he then stands upright, with his right leg forward when you stand in the scales, then reach out and with your left hand over his chest and and grab hold of his left side. If he does this to you, then quickly grab on to his left hand and pull him to you, put your right hand on his head and push down. Further, if he does this to you, then take hold of with your right arm behind both his knees, and push with your upper grip hard, on your left side and with your lower grip lift up high and you will topple him over from the tong hold.
+
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.

[83] '''A throw from the open tong hold'''
+
[12] '''A cut from above against one that attacks the side'''
  
When you go together, then do as follows: step with your left leg outside behind his right and put your left hand on his right shoulder near by his neck. If he holds you thus, then reach over his left hand with both your arms and pull it to your chest, so that he must bend down. If he is pressing you down so that you enters the scales, then reach through behind his right leg and grab hold of his left kneecap and pull it to you, and at the same time push away from you with the upper grip, then you will throw him backwards away from you.
+
In this fight, when you arrive at the opponent, you will remember to place your right foot in front, and if you hold the sickle high with the right hand against the opponent, you will hit his head. 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.

[84] '''A tong hold throw from the scales'''
+
[13] '''Two cuts with their applied parry'''
  
When you face your opponent in this device, then do as described here below: enter the scales so that you stand with your left leg behind his right. Then quickly, grab hold of his left leg with your right hand, and put your head on his chest. If he uses this on you, then put both your hands on his head and push down. If he pushes you down this way with both hands on your head, then put your right hand on his face and push it away from you and with your lower hand pull towards you, and you will throw him on his back with the tong hold.
+
You will adapt to the opponent from this fight in this way, that you put your right foot in front and hold the sickle with a stretched arm against the opponent, and you will make sure that you cut his head with force. And if he in his turn attempts to wound you, then you [standing] opposite him with the right leg in front, and the sickle held in the right hand in the manner of the cut from above, cover the right elbow of the opponent with the left hand from the outside, and if you then lift this, you will lift away his cut from above. 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.

Do thus in this device: step forward with your right foot and grab hold of his genitals with your right hand and with your left onto his chest. If he holds you this way with both hands then take hold with your left hand underneath on his right arm and with your right on the outside of his left and bend them over each other. Then step with your right leg on his right side and swing him over your right side to the ground.
+
In this fight, if you stand straight with both legs in the same place, and with the right hand hold the sickle at the right side, but at the same time grab it with you’re the left [hand] and place the right against the right hip, and then place the left foot in front next to the left foot of the opponent, on the outside, and if you cut to his left foot, [which is] placed in front, you will in this manner pull the opponent towards you. But if he uses this against you, you will block the left shoulder of the opponent with the left hand, and if you pull the opponent down towards your left side, you will deflect his cut. But if meanwhile you throw the sickle between his legs in his genitals, and from there you pull him towards you, it will be possible in that manner to throw the opponent over the left leg, [which is] placed in front.

[15] '''Two middle cuts by which a way is formed to throw the enemy'''
  
When you go both go together, then do as follows: step forward with your right leg behind his left. If he then stands with left foot forward and takes hold of your right side with his left hand and with his right behind around your waist, then grab him with your right hand in his right armpit and with your left onto his shoulder by his neck. Then pull him to your right side and throw him by the tong hold over your forward leg.
+
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.

 +
Item: hold yourself thus with this device in the onset. When you come before the man set your right foot forward and stab him at his left side [so] that you have your thumb by your rondel.
 +
 
 +
If he should thus stab at you, and you stand with your right foot against him, so fall nimbly with your left hand on his dagger and wind it out of his hand, simultaneously stab him with your dagger in your right hand at his face.
  
Item: conduct yourself thus with this onset.  Stand with your right foot forward and hold your dagger against him, the thumb by your rondel.<ref>Note: the illustration shows ice-pick grip.</ref> If he then stands also thus against you with a stab, his right foot set in front, so follow with your left leg behind and travel to him with your dagger, the right hand under around his leg. Heave therewith over him and with the left hand shove him above by his right arm from you, so you turn him and can also throw.
+
If he has thus taken your dagger and stabs at your face, so set your right foot between both his legs and grip with your left hand in front on his right and with the right hand under his right arm pit through there to his right arm. Immediately turn your shoulder well under his arm so you will break off the arm on [over] your shoulder.
  
If he is thus set on to you above and below and desires to throw you, so turn yourself immediately nimbly on your right side and grab him with your left hand above on his right; press therewith strongly under him so you will be free of him. Immediately set your left foot in front, seize him by his left arm and stab him to his throat. If he sets off the stab, so wind nimbly doubly through and stab him in his face. Immediately shove him from you therewith.
+
If he has thus seized you and desires to break your arm, so stab him with the dagger in your left hand - which you have taken from him - strongly to his face so he must release you. Immediately let your dagger<ref>The one in the left hand?</ref> fall and set your left foot behind his right and grip him with your left hand around his neck so you will throw him over that same leg. And [so] all his work is countered.

Immediately grip in with your left hand between his legs so you can turn him and you can also throw him therewith.

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.

[1] '''A Taking of the Sword with a Throw'''
 +
 
 +
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 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 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.

When you go to the man upright in the wrestling with arms crossed in the scissors, then step in to him with your left leg and, out of the scissors, grab over and around his body with your left hand, and inside and around his left leg with your inverted right hand. 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.

In that instant, grab the middle of his halberd with your left hand and put it far down towards the ground on your left side. Now stab him in the face with the point of your dussack. If he thrusts at you like this, then take it away on your halberd between both your hands to your left side. If he has taken you away like this, then cut to his head with the long edge of your dussack and turn yourself away from him with doubled thrusts and cuts.

[24] '''A Piece on the Rapier against the Boar-spear'''
 +
 
 +
Present yourself like this in this piece with the approach: Step in to him with your left leg and thrust your boar-spear to his face or chest. If he stabs at you like this and you stand with your right foot toward him, then cut against his thrust with your rapier, placing it on the forward end of his spear. In the same instant, push it from you on your left side and grab the forward part of his spear, thus you take away his thrust. If he wants to catch your spear, then quickly pull it toward yourself and stab at his face or chest from his left to his right side. If he thrusts a second time at you like this, then take that away with your rapier on your right side. In the same moment, step in with your left leg and grab the middle of his spear with your left hand, then in that instant, quickly stab to his face. If he parries you, then change through on his spear and leap in a triangle and cut to his head.

[1] '''A High Thrust against a Low Thrust with the Rappier'''
 +
 
 +
It happens like this in this technique: hold your Rappier in your right hand in front of your forward leg in a low thrust position directed towards his groin. He then stands with his left foot opposite you and thrusts towards your face at the upper opening (as in illustration). Then drive up with your Rappier out of the low thrust position, fall over his Rappier and with that take away his thrust to your left side with your short edge. Then immediately step with your left leg in the triangle on your right side and strike to his forward leg.
 +
 
 +
If he strikes low towards you like this, then yank your left leg back and take it away with the long edge so that you avoid injury from him and can work against him once more.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Excute this device as follows: step forward with your right foot and hold the axe with both hands on the shaft and strike a death strike to his head with the blade. If he comes at you like this, and you are standing with your left foot forward, then turn the front end in between his arms and put the axe on the right side of his neck, and thus you may parry his strike with the back end. Then you pull the opponent toward you with the axe blade. If your opponent does this, on the other hand, then switch hands from below with the right hand on the outside of the axe and this way you press the opponent's axe down and cut him in the left side of his neck with the axe blade. If he uses the same technique, then parry his strike you your right and thrust him in the face with the front end, and move away from him.

[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.

[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.
