[1] Here begin the fencing techniques of the other masters: Hanko priest of Doebringen, Andre the Jew, Josts from the neice, Niclas of prussia.

If he is a bold man /
Who also likes to dare
To learn the art of the sword /
and also wishes to practice it seriously
Because it is a gentleman´s game /
and brings lots of pleasure and fun
And before knights and squires /
so that he can fence well
I will give him three pieces of advice /
which he should always adhere to

 



[15]

The first advice is also good /
whoever fences easily
wittily and without all wrath /
this fencer seldom will lose
If he additionally fences according to the teachings /
he will win even more
