'''Paulus Hector Mair''' (Paulsen Hektor Mair, Paulus Hector Meyer; 1517 – 1579) was a [[century::16th century]] German aristocrat, civil servant, and fencer. He was born in 1517 to a wealthy and influential Augsburg patrician family. In his youth, he likely received training in fencing and grappling from the masters of Augsburg fencing guild, and early on developed a deep fascination with fencing treatises. He began his civil service as a secretary to the Augsburg City Council; by 1541, Mair was the City Treasurer, and in 1545 he also took on the office of Master of Rations.

'''Paulus Hector Mair''' (Paul Hektor Mayr, Meyer; 1517 – 1579) was a [[century::16th century]] German aristocrat, civil servant, and fencer. He was born in 1517 to a wealthy and influential Augsburg patrician family. In his youth, he likely received training in fencing and grappling from the masters of Augsburg fencing guild, and early on developed a deep fascination with fencing treatises. He began his civil service as a secretary to the Augsburg City Council; by 1541, Mair was the city treasurer, and in 1545 he also took on the office of Master of Rations.
  
Mair's martial background is unknown, but as a citizen of a free city he would have had military obligations whenever the city went to war, and as a member of a patrician family he likely served in the cavalry. He was also an avid collector of fencing treatises and other literature on military history. Like his contemporary [[Joachim Meÿer]], Mair believed that the Medieval martial arts were being forgotten, and he saw this as a tragedy, idealizing the arts of fencing as a civilizing and character-building influence on men. Where Meÿer sought to update the traditional fencing systems and apply them to contemporary weapons of war and defense, Mair was more interested in preserving historical teachings intact. Thus, some time in the latter part of the 1540s he commissioned what would become the most extensive compendium of German fencing treatises ever made, a massive two-volume manuscript compiling virtually every fencing treatise he could access. He retained famed artist [[Jörg Breu|Jörg Breu the Younger]] to create the illustrations for the text,<ref>Breu is not listed in the Augsburg tax records in 1542-3; given Mair's youth, he most likely hired Breu between his return in 1544 and his death in 1547.</ref> and hired two Augsburg fencers to pose for the illustrations.<ref>Hils 1985, pp 197-201.</ref> This project was extraordinarily expensive and took at least four years to complete. Ultimately, three copies of this compendium were produced, each more extensive than the last; the first ([[Opus Amplissimum de Arte Athletica (MSS Dresd.C.93/C.94)|MSS Dresden C.93/C.94]]) was written in [[Early New High German]], the second and most artistically ambitious ([[Opus Amplissimum de Arte Athletica (Cod.icon. 393)|Cod.icon. 393]]) in [[New Latin]], and the third and final version ([[Opus Amplissimum de Arte Athletica (Cod.10825/10826)|Cod. 10825/10826]]) incorporated both languages.

Thus, some time in the latter part of the 1540s he commissioned what would become the most extensive compendium of German fencing treatises ever made, a massive two-volume manuscript compiling virtually every fencing treatise he could access. He retained the workshop of [[Jörg Breu the Younger]] to create the illustrations for the text,<ref>Breu is not listed in the Augsburg tax records in 1542-3; given Mair's youth, he most likely hired Breu between his return in 1544 and his death in 1547.</ref> and hired two Augsburg fencers to pose for the illustrations.<ref>Hils 1985, pp 197-201.</ref> This project was extraordinarily expensive and took at least four years to complete.

Beginning in the 1540s, Mair began purchasing older fencing manuscripts, some from fellow collector [[Lienhart Sollinger]] (a [[Freifechter]] who lived in Augsburg for many years) and others from auctions. Perhaps most significant of all of his acquisitions was the partially-completed treatise of [[Antonius Rast]], a Master of the Long Sword and three-time captain of the [[Marxbrüder]] fencing guild. The venerable master left in incomplete when he died in 1549, and Mair ultimately produced a complete fencing manual ([[Rast Fechtbuch (Reichsstadt "Schätze" Nr. 82)|Reichsstadt "Schätze" Nr. 82]]) based on his notes. Ultimately, he owned over a dozen fencing manuscripts over the course of his life, including the following:

Mair not only spent incredible sums of money on his fencing interests, but generally lead a lavish lifestyle and maintained his political influence with expensive parties and other entertainments for the burghers and patricians of Augsburg. This habit of living far beyond his means for decades exhausted his family's wealth, eventually leading him to sell the Latin version of his fencing manuscript (netting the princely sum of 800 florins) and finally to begin embezzling money from the Augsburg city coffers. This embezzlement was not discovered for many years (or perhaps was overlooked due to the favor his parties garnered), until finally in 1579 a disgruntled assistant reported him to the Augsburg City Council and provoked an audit of his books. Mair was arrested, tried, and hanged as a thief at the age of 62. After Mair's death, his effects (including his library) were sold at auction to recoup some of the funds he had embezzled.

Whether viewed as an unwise scholar who paid the ultimate price for his art or an ignoble thief who violated his city's trust, Mair remains one of the most influential figures in the history of Kunst des Fechtens. By completing the fencing manual of Antonius Rast, Mair gave us valuable insight into the [[Nuremberg Group|Nuremberg fencing tradition]]; his own works are impressive on both an artistic and practical level, and his extensive commentary on the uncaptioned treatises in his collection serves to make potentially useful training aids out of what would otherwise be mere curiosities. Finally, in purchasing so many important fencing treatises he succeeded in preserving them for future generations; they were purchased by the fabulously wealthy Fugger family after his death and ultimately passed to the [[Universitätsbibliothek Augsburg|Augsburg University Library]], where they remain to this day.

Much of Mair's content represents his revision and expansion of the older treatises listed above, including adding descriptive content to uncaptioned illustrations. Where available, these illustrations are displayed in the left-most column, labeled "Source Illustrations", for comparison purposes. Mair's own illustrations appear in the second column, alongside the translation. Wherever possible, the version from the manuscript or book that Mair owned is displayed; in some cases, however, the only known copy is in a book that Mair never had access to as far as we know (suggesting the existence of lost manuscripts).

The Dresden version contains the fewest pieces and its artwork is most reminiscent of Breu's style, suggesting that it was the first copy produced. The Munich adds additional plays and sections on top of the Dresden's contents and the Vienna likewise augments the Munich, so it appears that this was order of creation; conversely, the Dresden has no unique content, and the only unique plays in the Munich are in the section on jousting. To give a visual sense of this evolution of the work, the Dresden illustrations are used wherever possible; the Munich illustrations appear only for those plays that are missing from the Dresden, and the Vienna for those that are likewise missing from the Munich.

'''And while many''' of the learned say that this art of the knightly sport, as other arts beside, must have come among men to influence[?] '''their appetites and pleasure, from above, i.e. from God and celestial influence of the stars, as is well believable. Besides this, some say that ''Pollux'', who was honoured by the Romans, was an instigator of this honourable art; others would attribute the honour of such invention to ''Mercury''. But both these statements must be found somewhat obscure and uninstructive from the fact that they do not explain what use or profit they would have made from this art, or which lords they took as their disciples that would have learned the art from them and in turn passed it on.

'''But the majority''' of the same historiographers state and testify that ''Probas'', the famous fencer and teacher of ''Theseus'', the king of Athens in Greece, in which realm the knightly art in the beginning and for a long time thereafter did much prosper, was the first inventor and establisher of this art.

Which instruction said king ''Theseus'' took to heart and in consideration of that this knightly art and exercise of fencing in times of peace may be an honourable and manly exercise for the young, but in times of distress and danger may serve and succeed towards the fatherland's honour, advantage and prosperity, he put belief in ''Probas'' and himself together with some of the most noble of his court, undertook it to learn this knightly art of fencing, to which end ''Probas'' was highly assiduous.

And thus the honourable art of fencing prospered from the cause that each [practitioner] '''was found that much more competent and able to support the fatherland in its need. Said king ''Theseus'' did build, to considerable cost, many sumptuous houses dedicated for the exercise of this art, in Athens and elsewhere in his realm, which was the beginning of the general [systematic] '''tuition in fencing. These events under the reign of the Athenian king ''Theseus'', who according to the reckoning of the ''Urspergian''<ref name="Urspergensis">''Chronicon Abbatis Urspergensis'', the Chronicle of Burchard of Ursberg (13th century), printed in Augsburg 1515.</ref> reigned for thirty years, took place and occurred approximately in the year 1224 before the birth of our saviour Jesus Christ, and from this circumstance it follows that this art, which has been founded by kings, and by many of royal and noble kin and blood besides, which served to themselves as a noble exercise and towards honour, advantage and necessity for the fatherland, may well and truly be called a noble and knightly sport.

'''In addition, the ancients''', and especially the Greeks, did have such desire and love for the knightly exercise, that they did forego any kind of sweet food or drink several days before they would fence, likewise the lust of women besides all else that weakens the body and makes for heavy breathing, and did peruse such foods, as meat and other kinds, as do strengthen the body. On this matter did the learned ''medici'', and especially the most famous ''Galen'',<ref name="Galenus">Claudius Galenus of Pergamum (AD 131 – 201)</ref> repeatedly and artfully discuss, whether austerity and abstinence or the practice of fencing would profit more for the life of man. Also Saint Paul does report such an example in his epistle where he says, you see that those who would fence and fight over a transient honour or treasure are wont to forego all lust, as if he would say, why do not you the same, as pious Christians who are fighting not for an earthly but for a heavenly honour in this world.<ref name="Paulus">This may be in reference to 2 Timothy 2:4, rendered by Luther (1522) as: ''Niemant streyttet vnnd flicht sich ynn der narung geschefft, auff das er gefalle dem, der yhn zum streytter auffgenomen hat'' "None who would fight does meddle in the business of sustenance, so that he may please him who employed him as a fighter". Now Luthers ''narung'' "sustenance, nutrition, food" offers itself to an interpretation of "gluttony; carnal pleasure", but it translates ''pragmateiai biou'', meaning "the pragmatics of life", i.e. "everyday business". c.f. Tyndale (1526), who has "No man that warreth, entangleth himself with worldly business, and that because he would please him that hath chosen him to be a soldier"; Dresden has "temporal" (''zeitlich'') rather than "transient" (''zergenglich'').</ref> And therefore all those who love this knightly art do well to consider that in those times there were no drunken and immodest but sober, apt and most artful fencers. Also, it is rarely found in writing that among the ancients fencing was undertaken out of envy or hatred, as in our times regrettably occurs often, but out of love and artfulness. After the ancients did chastise themselves as they were expecting the day of fencing, they and the weapons with which they would fence were transported in all honesty on wagons to the fencing place or ''Theatrum'', and for them the prizes and treasures were painted in fine likeness and carried before them, and also beforehand publicly posted on the market-place, and thus made known to the common man. This custom is attributed by the historiographers with great praise to ''Terentius Lucanus'', who on three consecutive days did permanently have thirty naked fencers on the field, and when the fencers, masters and disciples entered the fencing place they put down their weapons in proper order (as is still the custom today); then the names of all fencers were written on pieces of paper and then with great assiduity the lot was drawn arbitrarily, and those two who were drawn by the lot then did have to fight most artfully and honourably for the treasure. For this, each of the fencers did most assiduously invoke their god, one ''Hercules'', the other ''Mercury'', yet others ''Pollux'' and ''Castor'', and so forth, and pray that the lot would pair them with good and artful fencers, and not immodest ones who were not well experienced in the art. All of this does illustrate that the ancients did fence above all for art and knightly virtue and honour than for any other things, for which reason, for the later generations of fencers and for the honour of the knightly art, the fight-schools as they were held and the promenading houses and halls of the rich were painted in their likeness, and those who held them, and those who won the prize were finely depicted, and the highest prize in this was retained by the freedman of emperor ''Nero'' who at ''Antium'' at the great imperial palace and promenade did most artfully and gracefully depict the likeness of the fencing-schools and fencers.<ref name="Antium">This is a reference to Pliny, ''Nat. Hist.'' 30.32: "When a freedman of Nero was giving a gladiatorial show at Antium, the public porticoes were covered with paintings, so we are told, containing life-like portraits of all the gladiators and assistants. This portraiture of gladiators has been the highest interest in art for many centuries now, but it was Gaius Terentius who began the practice of having pictures made of gladiatorial shows and exhibited in public; in honour of his grandfather who had adopted him he provided thirty pairs of Gladiators in the Forum for three consecutive days, and exhibited a picture of the matches in the Grove of Diana."</ref>

Also Saint Paul does report such an example in his epistle where he says, you see that those who would fence and fight over a transient honour or treasure are wont to forego all lust, as if he would say, why do not you the same, as pious Christians who are fighting not for an earthly but for a heavenly honour in this world.<ref name="Paulus">This may be in reference to 2 Timothy 2:4, rendered by Luther (1522) as: ''Niemant streyttet vnnd flicht sich ynn der narung geschefft, auff das er gefalle dem, der yhn zum streytter auffgenomen hat'' "None who would fight does meddle in the business of sustenance, so that he may please him who employed him as a fighter". Now Luthers ''narung'' "sustenance, nutrition, food" offers itself to an interpretation of "gluttony; carnal pleasure", but it translates ''pragmateiai biou'', meaning "the pragmatics of life", i.e. "everyday business". c.f. Tyndale (1526), who has "No man that warreth, entangleth himself with worldly business, and that because he would please him that hath chosen him to be a soldier"; Dresden has "temporal" (''zeitlich'') rather than "transient" (''zergenglich'').</ref> And therefore all those who love this knightly art do well to consider that in those times there were no drunken and immodest but sober, apt and most artful fencers. Also, it is rarely found in writing that among the ancients fencing was undertaken out of envy or hatred, as in our times regrettably occurs often, but out of love and artfulness. After the ancients did chastise themselves as they were expecting the day of fencing, they and the weapons with which they would fence were transported in all honesty on wagons to the fencing place or ''Theatrum'', and for them the prizes and treasures were painted in fine likeness and carried before them, and also beforehand publicly posted on the market-place, and thus made known to the common man. This custom is attributed by the historiographers with great praise to ''Terentius Lucanus'', who on three consecutive days did permanently have thirty naked fencers on the field, and when the fencers, masters and disciples entered the fencing place they put down their weapons in proper order (as is still the custom today); then the names of all fencers were written on pieces of paper and then with great assiduity the lot was drawn arbitrarily, and those two who were drawn by the lot then did have to fight most artfully and honourably for the treasure. For this, each of the fencers did most assiduously invoke their god, one ''Hercules'', the other ''Mercury'', yet others ''Pollux'' and ''Castor'', and so forth, and pray that the lot would pair them with good and artful fencers, and not immodest ones who were not well experienced in the art. All of this does illustrate that the ancients did fence above all for art and knightly virtue and honour than for any other things, for which reason, for the later generations of fencers and for the honour of the knightly art, the fight-schools as they were held and the promenading houses and halls of the rich were painted in their likeness, and those who held them, and those who won the prize were finely depicted, and the highest prize in this was retained by the freedman of emperor ''Nero'' who at ''Antium'' at the great imperial palace and promenade did most artfully and gracefully depict the likeness of the fencing-schools and fencers.<ref name="Antium">This is a reference to Pliny, ''Nat. Hist.'' 30.32: "When a freedman of Nero was giving a gladiatorial show at Antium, the public porticoes were covered with paintings, so we are told, containing life-like portraits of all the gladiators and assistants. This portraiture of gladiators has been the highest interest in art for many centuries now, but it was Gaius Terentius who began the practice of having pictures made of gladiatorial shows and exhibited in public; in honour of his grandfather who had adopted him he provided thirty pairs of Gladiators in the Forum for three consecutive days, and exhibited a picture of the matches in the Grove of Diana."</ref>

'''So did also the learned''' philosophers write about this knightly art, and the same were not ashamed to learn its, and among them ''Pythagoras'', who was held a good fencer, was the foremost, as he did win the prize with his artful fencing at the celebration of the 48th ''Olympiad''. Likewise did do many other excellent philosophers, without necessarily naming them all. So does ''Marcus Tullius Cicero'', the Roman mayor and eventually administrator of the entire Roman empire write on the praise of fencing [T. q. folio.125.] '''I consider and trust entirely that nobody at all can be counted among the number of the learned orators who were not well versed and experienced in all arts that are knightly and even if we do not employ them in speaking, nor is it possible to discern this in us, if we are exercised in knightly sports, but the agility and the bearing of the body does concord and correspond with the agility of the voice, both in cheerful and in lamentable topics, such that it appears all the more agreeable to the listener. This is confirmed by the most learned orator ''Quintilianus'' who says that the persons who are given to praise and do not have contempt for the knightly sport of fencing and takes this as the cause that the same have great advantage and furtherance in the art of being well-spoken due to their agility ''Anacharsis''<ref name="Anacharsis">Anacharsis the Scythian, according to Herodotus (4.46, 76 f.) brother of the Scythian king Saulinos; attributed to him are inventions such as the anchor, bellows and pottery wheel. He was slain by his brother after he returned from a journey to Greece and began to advocate Greek culture to his countrymen. He is sometimes counted as one of the Seven Sages of Athens. Among a number of letters attributed to him is one addressed to the Lydian king Croesus.</ref> who lived at the time of king ''Croesus'' in Lydia, at the time when Rome had stood for 194 years, wrote that he did greatly marvel at how the Greeks were such stern judges while the fencers did bear themselves so heartily and well with[?] '''open spaces, houses, prizes, treasures and highest praise, as if he would say that the Greeks do well uphold the law and give to each man his due, to one his due praise and to the other his due punishment. Many more similar pronouncements furthering the honour of fencing could be mentioned, but as I feel that no amount would suffice for those who disparage this art, it should suffice for the present time.

'''The virility of''' the Greeks and especially of the Lacedaemonians, citizens of the most famous city of Sparta are very well known to anyone acquainted with history. [Pluta: fol.75.] '''Furthermore, their knightly virtues before the city of Troy, and in many other places, are evident. ''Plutarch'' writes much praise of their manhood in his ''Aphotegmata''<ref name="Plutarch">''Regum et imperatorum apophthegmata'' ("Sayings of kings and emperors") in Plutarch's ''Moralia''.</ref> and says that these Spartans had the custom that whenever they went to war against their enemies, their kings would always have to go ahead in the foremost rank and be the first to attack the enemy with manly courage, and one of their best knights would, if the king had earlier won a treasure such as a crown or a wreath in a fencing-school, carry this finely adorned in front of him, so as to show that their king was equipped with a spirit of manhood, and they would have other expert and honest warriors with them. For this they would contest all the more manfully and artfully for the treasures in the fencing-schools, in order to gain much honour and be placed next to the king in war and with honest praise and courage would move against the enemy in the front of the army. They did also disdain the best positions, such as fortifications, walls and trenches, and against these did much praise knightly manhood. ''Agis'', the second king of the Lacedaemonians, as at one time he moved on the city of Corinth, saw that this same city was surrounded by strong, long walls and fortifications, and he said, alas, who are these women that have taken and occupy the fortified place, as if he would say that honest and doughty men should not have any regard for such strong fortification but in need should praise the courage of the heart and the honesty of the mind and the prowess of the fist and prefer them over all fortification. By such honesty this king ''Agis'' did honourably reign over the realm of the Spartans for fifty years and left it behind in good stability. [Apopht. fol.17.] '''''Agesilaus'' the sixth king of the Spartans was at one time asked why the city of Sparta was not protected and so ill equipped with walls and fortifications. To this the king answered and said, see these armed citizens, well-exercised in all knightly sports: these are the fortification and walls of the city of Sparta, by which he meant that virility is to be praised above all fortifications. This king ''Agesilaus'' did also reign over and preserve the realm of the Spartans for 44 years.

'''''Herodotus''''' writes in his seventh book, ''Polymnia'', how ''Xerxes'', the king of the Persians [and] '''Medes, out of presumption and prompted by an exiled Greek named ''Demarathus'' did incite a handsome great war on water and on land against the Greeks. But when king ''Xerxes'' with his people reached the borders of the Greeks at a pass called the ''Thermopyle'', he ordered the most renowned and strongest men and captains of the Persians in great number to take that same place as an entrance to the land of ''Greece''. Before that, the Greeks had occupied that place with three hundred Spartan citizens who according to their custom had with them their king ''Leonidas'', and they did wait there with all avidity of denying the enemy entry and held good and careful watch with all knightly experience and preparation against the Persians. As the Persians arrived at this said place, they found such a warlike and manly opposition on the part of the Greek garrison that they required many numerous attacks and attempts, and they lost a notable number, namely up to 20,000 among whom two kings, three princes and many of the Persian nobility from the legion known as the immortals along with their best warriors. As the king perceived his misfortune, he cried with a loud voice, O Jupiter, I have been deceived in this, that I led on such a long campaign all too many but only little well-exercised soldiers, as if he would say, conquest and victory does not depend on the amount and number of the army, but on the knightly virility of the warriors. And he did suffer such great damage from these three-hundred men at the said place, that he did many times rue the war which he had ventured against the Greeks, and it did often cause him to sigh. And in many months he did not succeed in taking this place, not with all his army, until at the last he turned his mind to treason. Only then did a shepherd, whom he had coaxed with much cost and promise, communicate to him a secret and unknown path down from the mountains, by which path and by treason the honest Spartans were surrounded from both sides with much might and great number of men so that all of them, after long and honest defense, were slain by the Persians, even to the last man (as none of them would have been parted from their king). And as the pass had been taken, king Xerxes and a number of his captains came on the battlefield and out of curiosity wanted to inspect the Spartans, and found them lying on their bellies, and not their backs, and their faces were hewn most grievously, he did praise them most fittingly, even though they were his enemies, saying, O how blessed is this land that generates many such exercised honest men. And inquiring after the occupation and disport favoured by such men, he was answered that they were never idle and of great frugality. Inquiring further for what reward they would do such, the Arcadians replied that they would ever exercise themselves in fencing-schools and duelling-spaces, on horseback and on foot, and those who excelled there would be honoured by a wreath made from oil-palm, which among them was held as the highest praise. [Herodo: fol:224.] '''As the king heard this, he turned to his captains and said, ''O Demarathe Demarathe'' (i.e. the name of the man who instigated him to wage war against the Greeks), against what manner of men did you incite us to make war, such as do not perform and exercise their duels and knightly sport for gain or payment but for manly honour and virtue, and he did much deplore that he had proposed to war with such honest men.

Of these and comparable deeds of honour that have their origin and source in the knightly exercises, as have occurred both among the Greeks and the Romans, there would be much more to tell. But it would seem to me to become over-much and so as to not displease the reader I will forbear.

Such testimony would he who would carry arms need to present at the following assembly and diet. Then the authorities or his closest friends would gird him with his weapon and on his neck hang a shield, congratulate him, and henceforth he would be declared [a free man] '''of his province. In warfare and battle they had this custom, that they would take with them their wives and children, even those still in the cradle, and they must prepare and serve food and drink for the men, oil, try, bandage and treat their wounds and they then showed their wounds to their mothers and wives, who felt no abhorrence therefrom, but gave much praise for them. And when they fought a battle against their enemies, the wives and children must keep nearby, so that the men could hear the weeping of their little children, and the wives would shout and admonish their men to be brave and keen and not to flee, fighting not just for their country and people but also for their wives and children. This did often contribute to their victory, as ''Tacitus'' reports. For this reason they conducted their marriage according to the following manner. None could take a wife other than he was of grown age, and likewise the virgins must be of proper age, resulting in great, tall, strong people, and as they were joined, they practiced the custom that the wife would bring no dowry to the man, neither money nor property, but for a sword, which she gave to him for the purpose that he must use it to protect her, her children, and the fatherland. The man on the other hand must have a certain property, which however did not include money, or silken garment or clothes, with which he might adorn and bedeck the bride, but he must own two heads of cattle and an ox, joined in a yoke, a saddled horse a pavise or shield, a hewing-knife and a thrusting-spear. If he had these, the bride was given in his hand. This was all her marriage-portion, dowry, morning-gift, wreath and ring, hand-fasting and wedding-feast, church-going and consecration. The closest friends would inspect all the mentioned pieces, and if they were good, they were satisfied and wished them happiness and fertility in birth, and they were joined in that hour and the marriage was concluded. But the significance and meaning of these pieces was that just as the cattle under the yoke the couple must never part, in joy or sorrow, in war or otherwise, but they must live and lie together, journey and travel, and keenly dare all things, which was signified by the saddled horse. Also, the sword, shield, knife and spear must be kept by the wife in the event of the man's death, so that she might pass to her sons and children their father's marriage-portion at the proper time, and it would be kept and passed on even to the third generation.

'''From the above''', kind fencer and reader, you may deduce to what extent this hard knightly exercise, kept so firmly by our ancient Germans, gave to Germany great liberty, honour and everlasting praise, and if things were still the same (concerning knightly and manly exercise) in German lands, and the knightly exercise were still held in such esteem, if vices such as usury, games, excessive eating and drinking, blaspheming, and disdain of all good arts besides other frivolity would be avoided and punished, what great profit, praise and honour for all of Germany would arise from this still in the present day.

'''Our ancient''' and pious Germans for a long time did not allow any foreign peddler to bring them foreign clothing and costly armour. Much less did they allow the manufacture or use of such among them, indeed they would have been ashamed to be seen straying from their German knightly character and custom. The Spartans slew one of their warriors for the only reason that he had somewhat changed his costume and had decorated his shield with purple silk, so much did foreign finery appall them. ''Charles'', the first of this name, known as the Great, who was properly a native German, and who first brought the rule of the Roman Empire to the Germans, was in the habit of always using the old German costume and none other for as long as he lived. Not more than on three instances, and this only to please the pope, did he don a Latin long mantle and broad slippers, which he later did often rue. Many of his princes and rich noblemen in the Italian wars had bought many costly ornaments and foreign garments. But as they put them on for a high festival and the emperor spotted them, he chided them loudly in front of all the people, mocked them and said, wherefore, wherefore you free Swabians and Franks, how you have utterly perverted yourselves and changed the German character and manner with foreign costume. Are you not now wearing on your bodies the clothing of those on whom you earlier so valiantly made war and forced to submit to you? What, would you also pervert your courage in like manner? Fie for the shame that you would put an everlasting blame on the German name, which is frightful to all other nations, with this transformation of yours. Look at yourself, how you are clothed. While your emperor, making allowance for the necessity of nature may cover himself. Why do you spend your gold and silver so as to corrupt your fathers for such shameful goods and clothing? Or do you no longer want to be free, but slaves like your enemies, whose clothes you are wearing? He then forced the same princes and noblemen to join him in assiduous hunting, both in summer and wintertime, and they must keep wearing the above described adornment and clothing, and he led them through great hedges and bushwork. After the hunt, he sat beside them at the fire, and their foreign clothing was torn by the branches, and the remaining tatters were singed and burned by the fire, such that they no longer offered protection. But the clothing of the pious emperor, which was a wolf's pelt, remained whole and fresh, and he mocked them greatly for what costly but useless clothes they had bought for a high price. This pious emperor ''Charles'' with his keen and firm courage and great heart did appear so frightening to all nations that all pagan kings feared him. The kings of Asia, Persia and Africa sent him messages and honoured him with gifts, and so much he attained with them that for him the Egyptian king did freely offer all of Jerusalem, along with the tomb of Christ, cleared of all pagans, to the Christians, just so he would keep him as a friend in his coalition. As he received the foreign messages he would always have his imperial sword on his side, plated with gold and hung on a golden knight's belt, and keep his hand on its pommel, so as to present his virility in this way. But how the clothing and armour of the ancients compare with the modern clothing of our time, is most easy to describe, as just within living memory they have undergone manifold changes, and still in the present day it is the custom that he who would just invent much novelty is held dear by the lords, so that it happens that manhood was changed to lust and vanity, and the praise of the Germans is failing, may that God would mend this.

''Charles'', the first of this name, known as the Great, who was properly a native German, and who first brought the rule of the Roman Empire to the Germans, was in the habit of always using the old German costume and none other for as long as he lived. Not more than on three instances, and this only to please the pope, did he don a Latin long mantle and broad slippers, which he later did often rue. Many of his princes and rich noblemen in the Italian wars had bought many costly ornaments and foreign garments. But as they put them on for a high festival and the emperor spotted them, he chided them loudly in front of all the people, mocked them and said, wherefore, wherefore you free Swabians and Franks, how you have utterly perverted yourselves and changed the German character and manner with foreign costume. Are you not now wearing on your bodies the clothing of those on whom you earlier so valiantly made war and forced to submit to you? What, would you also pervert your courage in like manner? Fie for the shame that you would put an everlasting blame on the German name, which is frightful to all other nations, with this transformation of yours. Look at yourself, how you are clothed. While your emperor, making allowance for the necessity of nature may cover himself. Why do you spend your gold and silver so as to corrupt your fathers for such shameful goods and clothing? Or do you no longer want to be free, but slaves like your enemies, whose clothes you are wearing? He then forced the same princes and noblemen to join him in assiduous hunting, both in summer and wintertime, and they must keep wearing the above described adornment and clothing, and he led them through great hedges and bushwork. After the hunt, he sat beside them at the fire, and their foreign clothing was torn by the branches, and the remaining tatters were singed and burned by the fire, such that they no longer offered protection. But the clothing of the pious emperor, which was a wolf's pelt, remained whole and fresh, and he mocked them greatly for what costly but useless clothes they had bought for a high price. This pious emperor ''Charles'' with his keen and firm courage and great heart did appear so frightening to all nations that all pagan kings feared him. The kings of Asia, Persia and Africa sent him messages and honoured him with gifts, and so much he attained with them that for him the Egyptian king did freely offer all of Jerusalem, along with the tomb of Christ, cleared of all pagans, to the Christians, just so he would keep him as a friend in his coalition. As he received the foreign messages he would always have his imperial sword on his side, plated with gold and hung on a golden knight's belt, and keep his hand on its pommel, so as to present his virility in this way. But how the clothing and armour of the ancients compare with the modern clothing of our time, is most easy to describe, as just within living memory they have undergone manifold changes, and still in the present day it is the custom that he who would just invent much novelty is held dear by the lords, so that it happens that manhood was changed to lust and vanity, and the praise of the Germans is failing, may that God would mend this.
  
'''In what way however our''' Germans of these days follow and keep to the ancient Germans with regard to wine-drinking, games and exercise of knightly sport, their marriage and their meals, much could be written on this, as regrettably these things, when compared would present a very strange and awkward relation. The old, when they sat at their meals and symposia with their friends of high or low birth, would tell about the honest deeds of their ancestors, which was heard by the young, who took to heart to have desire and love towards the knightly art of fencing from which the most chivalrous gain praise. This with artful assiduity they exercised, and vices such as drinking, gambling, lust of women, vanity of clothing, they did forego. [Apoph: fol.721.] '''''Plutarch'' writes in his ''Apophtegmata'' that king ''Antigonus'' once asked the philosopher ''Menedemus'' if he should go drinking with a number of good fellows of his. ''Menedemus'' replied with a single phrase and said, ah, he is a king's son, by which he would indicate that the habit of wine-drinking does ill befit kings, princes and others of superior rank, meaning that there is other exercise and practice than drinking, to which to apply themselves would be more praisworthy and more profitable for them.

[Apoph: fol.312.] '''Likewise with Alexander the Great in his youth, at one time after he had been drinking wine and came back home to court, and his father Philip was told that his son Alexander had been drinking wine and had been singing very well, king Philipp was much displeased and chided him with these words, saying, are you not ashamed of yourself that you are so apt in drinking and singing, as if he would say, are you not a king's son, why are you dealing with such disdainful practice, are you proposing to support your kingdom by such frivolity after my death, or do you have such modest and childlike neighbours in the cities of Athens, Corinth, Argis, Corcica and others, so turn your mind to knightly arts, which serve for the development of your realm, honour and prosperity. At this instruction and scolding Alexander was so dismayed that he fast dedicated himself to knightly exercises, for which he gained later reward on many duelling-fields, and finally culminated in this, that within twelve years he subjugated and conquered the entire world with his knightly disposition. And truly, as I see it, if such knightly exercise according to the ancient manner and custom, in place of frivolous exercise, which over time have become so ubiquitous not just at royal or princely courts but also in the cities and everywhere and have displaced the exercise of good virtue, should again become well-established with both high and lower government, it would surely be highly profitable and useful for Germany and its degenerated prestige and dodgy reputation.

By this harsh art, many a courageous hero's life was stolen surreptitiously and from afar, who would otherwise could well have saved and made for himself an immortal name of praise by virtue of his knightly spirit. Plutarch writes [Apoph. fol: 61.], as ''Archidamus'' for the first time set eyes on a catapult, which was first invented in Sicily, he began to lament with a loud voice, by the god Hercules, the courage of men will go to ruin, as if he would say, if more such and alike instruments were to be invented and used in war, there will be no longer any difference between bawdy, slothful and lusty, valiant men-at-arms. And thus will decay all knightly exercise, and in its place all cunning, sloth and vice will grow apace, and such has regretfully happened and is now in full fashion. From this it has truly been shown over time that there is a great scarcity of doughty, brave and strong men who have invented artillery, mortars, catapults or other such implements. ''Socrates'' was asked by the Spartans, where were all the strong heroes and doughty, well-versed warriors. Well, said Socrates, at Troy. By which he wanted to convey that as at Troy was held knightly exercise but that there the very nucleus of Greek knighthood, warring for honour, had over time fallen, so that at the present time there was only left a shadow or spectre of their former praise. What can I say, oftentimes men, and especially the Roman emperor and king, were trying to aid this knightly art, but this has never really taken hold, as we have amply set out above. Finally, the knightly art has come to this, that it developed the Brotherhood known as Saint Mark's, which the most eminent, most mighty Roman emperors of most praiseworthy memory, Frederick, the third of this name, Maximilian, and now the invincible prince, Charles himself all three nobly born of the old and praiseworthy house of Austria,<ref name="Frederick">the successive Habsburg emperors Frederick III, Maximilian I and Charles V, spanning the period since the supposed disestablishment of the knightly tournament and the establishment of the Brotherhood of St. Mark or ''Marxbrüder''.

These [masters of the sword] '''may then hold schools as far as does extend the Roman Empire of the German Nation and may teach to other men on their request the proper manner of the sword. But for two reasons this exercise is held in low regard, the first, that gamblers, drunkards, usurers and lovers of beautiful women have been given much room in the highest places, such as princely courts and in the chief cities of the empire, and knightly art and exercise may not thrive due to them, but must always stay hidden behind the door, and the second, that numerous masters of the sword and otherwise masters, also Freifechter and numerous other fencers, to their own damage and disadvantage and that of the praiseworthy ancient art, act ineptly and ignominiously, foster envy and hatred in their fencing in schools, such that the young would hold the old in contempt at the fencing-school, and force on them their wantonness, and in addition abuse themselves of too much wine, from which results much frivolous discord, much to the chagrin of the authorities, and causes a considerable decline in the noble art. All this then serves more the extirpation than to the taking root of the noble and ancient knightly art, as pains me at the heart, and I would rather (in the interest of the noble art) hide it by my silence than to report it, especially as these vices are also hardly conductive to civil order. So I would gladly instruct all pious honest fencers to the profit and benefit of the fatherland, in the hope that they should be rewarded for it by everlasting praise.

[Apoph. fol: .7.] ''''''''Plutarch''''' writes in his courtly aphorisms that the excellent scholar ''Carillus'' was asked, which were the most praiseworthy cities, and he answered to this effect, that those cities were the best and safest, in which the citizens do not quarrel for ambition or authority, but one desires to excel the other by means of manly virtue (but without rioting) and would gladly be the foremost in the furtherance of communal benefit.

[Apoph. fol: .7.] ''Plutarch'' writes in his courtly aphorisms that the excellent scholar ''Carillus'' was asked, which were the most praiseworthy cities, and he answered to this effect, that those cities were the best and safest, in which the citizens do not quarrel for ambition or authority, but one desires to excel the other by means of manly virtue (but without rioting) and would gladly be the foremost in the furtherance of communal benefit. For this the gods of the Spartans were all conceived as wearing armour and carrying arms, as if they wanted to convey that even the gods themselves had enmity and hatred for sloth and idleness. But [now] all would defend lust and sloth and pretend that one could still rule and sustain a land and people, even though the knightly sport of fencing is no longer as much in fashion as it used to be in the beginning, because this art would also produce insolent, proud and foolhardy men, and for this reason should be closely supervised.

'''But there is found no''' faculty in all the world which does not share in such danger and worry, for a man may study whatever he likes, be he a ''theologian, jurist, medicus'' or some other besides, if his heart is not honest, pious and his spirit not upright, then all that which he is capable of and which he studied will only serve to the detriment and damage of himself and of others. Therefore no-one who desires to learn the knightly art should be dismayed by such lazy insinuations, and it does seem to me that such lazy insinuation does exclusively emanate from lazy and ignominious men who as the Epicureans put their attention only on all laziness and bodily lust, and that they have good and lazy days, a calm life, the best dainties, the best wine and drink according to all their whims and pleasure, may God provide for honest manhood and knightly sport by which land and people are sustained, and if these would utterly decay, they would not care much.

'''All kinds of examples''' of honesty are found in the histories, which indicate clearly that the empires, countries and cities are sustained by honesty of spirit and prowess of the fist, but that they dissolve and are undone by lazy inertia. The Assyrian Empire, which was the first empire in this world, did take its origin with king ''Ninus'' and by thirty-six kings was ruled in full honesty during one thousand two hundred and forty years. But on his accession their final king, ''Sardanapolus''<ref name="Assyria">Ninus: the legendary founder of Nineveh according to Ctesias (''Persica'', ca. 400 BC); Ctesias' Sardanapolus corresponds to Ashurbanipal (669 - 627 BC); Ctesias is a rather unreliable source by comparison with Herodotus and the Ptolemaic king list; but in any case knowledge on the Assyrian empire was very limited before the decipherment of cuneiform in the 1850s.</ref> ruled in such a way that under his rule sloth, lust of women, excessive eating and drinking, and gambling, became so rife that he drowned in these said vices, while honesty was in such low esteem that his own people grew disobedient and deserted him, and was divided in gangs and parties, and he was finally chased and exiled from his own empire, and thus by his negligent laziness, disrespect of knightly exercise and bad government, the Assyrian Empire came to its end with him. This king was often found in his women's quarters when he should have been dedicating himself to knighthood, and to please them he used to work the spindle. He had made costly preparation of his tomb before his death, and on it he ordered the following inscription [folio. 46.] '''''Sardanapolus Anecendarases. Ede, bibe, lude.'' which in German means this, Sardanapolus of Anecendarasis, eat, drink, play. In this the kind reader may well perceive what difference in success and failure there is between slothful and valiant lords. As Xerxes, king in Persia, re-conquered and brought into his power the city of Babylon after it had seceded from him, he considered how he could keep the great city of Babylon so that it would not secede from him again, and to this end he ordered that all Babylonian citizens and inhabitants may not carry any weapon, and may no longer exercise knightly sport, but he allowed them to visit the taverns and drink wine every night, to sing and whistle and also that they might have beautiful women, and might wear plaited dresses. All this he did with the intent of turning honest men into soft women, which indeed then did come to pass as they became used to pleasures, so that their manhood declined and thence he might rein them as with a bridle, which also did come to pass.

'''That God''' must hate the slothful is evident from the example of Gideon, as God would have his glory and victory over the Midianites not by means of the slothful, of whom there were entire troops, but by the valiant, keen and expert, of whom there were hardly three hundred, and who brought the water to the mouth with their hands. Saint ''David'' praised God the almighty many times, so that he might lend him grace and strength, and that his fingers would be ready to make war on his enemies.<ref name="Psalm">Gideon: Judges 7:4-7; David: Psalm 144:1: "Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight" (KJV).</ref> He also says how his help or hope are not in his sword, bow or arrow, but his hope is in the Lord. But for this he does not throw away his sword nor his arrow or bow, but he makes use of them as [instruments?] '''of God, by which God would show his glory, which example, then, is also appropriate to any pious and honest Christian fencer, namely that he remember to not spare his body in the time of need, for the faith and the true religion, against the Turks and infidels and for the freedom of the fatherland, for the protection and defense of widows and orphans, and that he should at all times employ the knightly art to such praiseworthy ends.

'''In this way, form and manner I have''' undertaken the knightly exercise of the sword, and did learn fencing with various weapons and properly tried it in various schools, and in it I did find such pleasure and love that I have undertaken to make this knightly honour-book. But what pains and labour I had with it throughout fully four years, every judicious reader of this book will well see and recognize; I did not allow myself to be put to shame by any cost, neither by pains nor labour that I did invest in it. I have included not without special reverence many old and new illustrated plays, which I have adopted from princes and lords, Jews and Christians and old fencing-masters. And much I had to purchase. From these I drew only the very best and most suitable to the art, and these said plays in all weapons as are contained in this book I let be practiced and fenced again and again by two brave and doughty fencers, who shared my desire and love for the knightly art, who did receive no small reward. And these same with all plays and articles I let be written down properly and assiduously, as is seen in each weapon and from play to play in this book (which is divided in two parts and equipped and adorned with additional very usable registers) [I am] '''in the certain hope that the proper lovers of this knightly art will put this knightly art-book to the best use and with grateful spirit shall be willing towards the Almighty for all well-being of body and soul, to which end I wish and desire for all honest and art-loving fencers the strength and the grace of God the Almighty.

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

[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.

[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.

[41] '''A way of placing the dussack on the opponent's neck and push him'''
|
+
 
[41]'''  
+
The following device is performed in this manner: step forward with your right foot and hold your dussack raised over your head. If your opponent is standing before you this way, then step forward with your left foot and strike from above to his head. If he strikes you in this manner, then you too step forward with your left foot and parry him with the long edge. Then you step to your opponent's left so that your foot is standing below beside his left foot. Then you turn your dussack so that your point is pointing toward your opponent's right and swiftly grab hold of the middle of your dussack with your left hand and press against your opponent's neck with the long edge forward, and then with all your might push him back with your dussack, and if you at the same time put your foot in behind his knee, you can throw him over by pulling him to you. If you are held in the same manner above and below, then reach with your left hand under his right and raise it up. Then, if you as quickly as you can try to thrust him in the face, he will have to let you go, and parry your thrust, and this way you will get away safe and sound.

[42] '''A strike from above followed by an arm-lock'''

[42]'''  
+
In this device you stand with your left foot forward and hold your dussack with the right arm outstretched in a strike from above, so that the long edge is pointing forward. Then you step forward with your right foot and strike straight toward his head with the long edge. If the opponent does this to you, then step forward with your right foot toward him and strike as well against his strike and thrust your point into his face so that you parry his strike with the short edge, but when you are doing so, make sure to step in with your left foot and reach with your arm over his right arm behind his dussack, so that you have it firmly locked behind your shoulder blade. If your opponent is holding you in the same manner, then place your right foot on the inside behind his left and quickly turn your arm to the left and put it around his neck, and then you grab hold above his chest and pull him over your left foot, that way he will fall over and can do no more.

[43] '''A throwing technique with the dussack'''
 +
 
 +
In this device you stand with your right foot forward and strike a feigned strike from above at your opponent, and at the same time you step forward with your left foot, but as soon as you have pulled back the strike, you move the point in toward his face. If your opponent tries to do the same, and thrusts towards your face, and you are standing in the scale position, then step forward with your left foot and your dussack raised with straight arm over your head, with the point toward the opponent and the long edge up. If you do this, as well as you thrust with the point toward the left side of his face you will parry his thrust to your right. Then you go down into the scale position with your left leg outside his left and hold your dussack in protection with the long edge facing up. Then you grab hold of with your left hand in his left foot that he has stepped forward with, lift it up and strike from below to his arm with the long edge and the outermost part of your dussack, and at the same time you hold your dussack in good defense resting against his right arm, and in this manner you can throw your opponent over. If he were to do the same to you, then grab hold with your left hand in the inside of his wrist, and pull hard toward you, that way you will force him to fall with you if he does not let go.

[44] '''Another technique in the same manner'''
 +
 
 +
In this device, where both of you are using the same technique, and both are standing with left foot forward, and you are holding your dussack with straight arm, so that the long edge is facing up, and you direct your point from your left side into the opponent's face. Then you lower your dussack a little and turn your hand so that the short edge is facing up, and strike twice toward your opponent's head. If your opponent strikes his point into your face, you enter scale position, and pull in your right hand you are holding your dussack with, towards your chest and turn up the point and remove his thrust with the long egde, and if he tries to strike twice to your head, raise the dussack in defence so that the long edge is facing up, and thrust into his face. Then you lower the dussack and grab hold of his left foot that he has forward, and lift it up. Of he tries to strike at your head at the same time you step forward out of your parry and remove his strike you your left, and lay the dussack with the long edge against his right hand. Then you push away from you above, as you lift up below and he will fall to the ground. If you were to be held by your opponent in the same way, then grab hold as quickly as you can with your left hand onto the inside of his right hand, press down and pull against you, and he will fall with you, and you stop him from placing his dussack to your arm, and in the fall you can hit him in the head.

[45] '''The Point against the Crown'''
+
[1] '''The First Two Upper Bindings from the Right Side'''
 +
 
 +
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.
  
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.
+
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.

[46] '''A Dussack Hold'''
+
[2] '''The First Two Lower Bindings from the Left Side'''
 +
 
 +
It happens that you have closed and stand with your left foot forward holding your staff at your left shoulder with your left hand forward. You stand this way against him and he the same in the lower bind. Step inside with your right leg and stab him from the inside to the outside over his left arm to the chest. If he displaces this, then follow after again with your left leg and wind your rearmost point to his face.
 +
 
 +
If he stabs to your face like this and you stand with your left foot forward, set aside his stab and step inside with your right foot and at the same time thrust your foremost point to his face. If he sets this aside, then change through immediately and thrust to his left side. If he sets this aside, then follow after with your left foot and at the same time wind nimbly double with your foremost point and rearmost point to his face.
  
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.
+
If he winds double like this to your face, set this aside with your own winding from both sides. Then immediately follow after with your right leg and stab him to his face. If he displaces this, yank your right leg back and strike him with your staff with an inverted hand to his head and then immediately grab with your left hand once again your staff and cover your face with a good stance.

[47] '''A Throw with the Dussack'''
+
[3] '''The Next Two Upper Bindings from the Left Side'''
  
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.
+
It happens that you close to the upper bind from your left side. He stands against you likewise in the bind from his left side. Step in with your left leg and at the same time feel whether he is hard or soft in the bind. If he is soft, step outward with your right leg and thrust to his face. If he does a take off, then immediately wind through from your right upon his right side.
|
+
 
| {{section|page:Cod.10826 113r.png|German|lbl=113r}}
+
If he winds like this to your right side and you likewise stand against him in the bind with your left foot placed forward, displace this and at the same time step outward with your right leg and thrust to his face inside over his right arm. If he displaces this, wind through with your point at his right side and thrust with your point to his right side. If he sets this aside, follow outward with your left leg and wind through with your rearmost point between his arms to his face.

[4] '''The Next Two Lower Bindings from the Right Side'''
 +
 
 +
It happens that you close to the lower bind with your right foot set forward and your right hand extended in front near the point. Immediately wind your right hand to the hip and stab him to his face.
  
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.
+
If he stabs you like this to your face and you also stand against him in the bind with your right foot placed forward, set it aside with your foremost point and make as if you will stab to his right leg. Then immediately step with your left foot outward and wind your rearmost point to his face or chest.

[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.
+
If he stabs towards you like this, set it aside and at the same time follow outward with your right leg and wind both points double to his face. If he sets this aside, yank your right foot back and strike to his head. Then wind back into a good stance.

Then squeeze him to you and lift him well upwards so that you have him in the weak position.  Then immediately throw him down so that you have used him to break your own fall. Knee him to his groin with your right foot between his feet and your left beneath his right. Seize both his hands for by the throat and press hard everywhere to the ground so that you control him.<ref name="illustration"/>

If you have thus been violently thrown down and controlled, quickly take heed that your hand is not locked up, but rather stop him with either hand in his face, the thumb under the chin and the other fingers beneath the eye sockets. Grab hence strongly with either hand. Thrust him strongly to the groin. Extend a foot that is unencumbered and at the same time yank him against you so that you give him a good one to the groin. With these three grips you can bring him to the mark.

[14] '''A Gewicht Stab against a Groin Stab'''
+
[19] '''A parry with half staff position on both sides'''
  
When you come to close with the opponent, step in with your left leg and hold your staff with your right hand above your head and your left hand well forward on your staff and stab to his left elbow so that you capture his gewicht (sleeve?).
+
This is what you do when entering before your opponent: if he is standing with his right foot forward and thrusts at your face, do thus: stand with your right foot forward, hold the staff with the arms outstretched over your head, step forward with your left foot and turn in the back end of the staff into his face, and you have parried his thrust. You can do these techniques from both sides with both full or half staff position, by turning the staff both before he attacks and after.
+
|  
If he thrusts like this to the sleeve of your left arm and you likewise have your staff in your right hand above your head and your left foot set forward, set this aside upwards from upon your staff and immediately thrust to his groin. Thus you hit him with your thrust below his, which is in vain. Then immediately follow inward with your right leg and wind your rearmost point to his face.
+
| {{section|page:Cod.10825 164r.png|German|lbl=164r}}
 
+
|
If he winds like this to your face, set it aside with your foremost point. Then hold your staff directly in front of your face and immediately step in with your right foot towards him and strike his staff out of his foremost hand with your rearmost point and thrust with your foremost point to his face. If he sets this aside, yank your right leg back and shoot your long point to his chest. With that step back in to a good stance.

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

[20] '''A strike with a parry'''
  
|-
+
Do as follows in this play: strike with long staff toward the head of the opponent and step forward with your left foot. If your opponent comes at you in this manner, then hold the staff in half staff thrust and raise it high in the air. Step forward with your left foot and parry his strike in the middle of your staff, then turn the back end between his both hands and thrust him in the face, and hit him in the head with the front end, whereby you may step away from him in good defence.

[16] '''A Long Point with an Abnemen against a Crossed Wechsel'''
+
| {{section|page:Cod.10825 164v.png|Latin|lbl=164v}}
 
 
When you come to the closing with the opponent step in with your right foot and hold your staff forward pointed at the ground with your right hand mid-way and the left near your point back at your left hip. He then stands opposed to you in the Crossed Wechsel (changer) with his right foot set forward. Go forward with your long point and at the same time follow outward with your left leg and thrust to his face. If he sets this aside, follow outward with your right foot and wind your rearmost point to his face or chest.
 
 
 
If he thrusts double like this to your face, go forward with your staff and set this aside with your foremost point. Then follow outward with your left leg and thrust your rearmost point to his face out of the Crossed Wechsel. If he displaces this, quickly wind him again double to his left side.
 
 
 
If he travels after (nachraisen) you like this, set this aside with your half staff. Then follow outward with your left leg and stab with your rearmost point to his left side. Then immediately yank your left leg back and strike him with your foremost point to his head. With that step back into a good stance.

[17] '''Two Upper Thrusts to the Chest from the Left Side'''
+
[21] '''An high and a low bind in half staff position'''
 
 
It happens at the closing that you step in with your left foot towards him and thrust with your staff from your left side inward between his arms to his left chest. He then stands opposed to you also in the Upper Thrust from his left side with his left foot set forward and thrusts to your chest as well. Then release your left hand from your staff and grip with it to his staff near his point and at the same time wind your point beneath his left shoulder with your right hand. Then step in towards him with your right foot and with that wind both staves at your right side with crosswise arms. Thus you will have him such that he cannot work against you.
 
  
If he has you locked up like this such that you cannot work with your staff, then quickly allow the staff to drop, set your left foot behind his right from the outside, grab with your right hand to the back of his right knee and with your left below his right shoulder well around and across your body. Thus you will with this prevent him from harming you.
+
this is what you do when fencing in towards your opponent: when you both bind from below or from above against each other, then step forward with your left foot, and thrust with the back end to his face. If he parries, then strike him in the head with the front end. If he does this, on the other hand, then parry with half and whole staff and strike him as soon as you see him open.

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

[21] '''The Crossed Guard against the Low'''
 
 
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.

At that moment cut to his left side, in around toward his right arm. If he cuts at you like that and you also are standing with your left foot toward him, and you too are holding your scythe on your right side with your left hand at the lower grip, your right at the middle one, then leap in a triangle and set his cut off outside in front with your scythe on your right side.

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.

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.

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.

In that moment, quickly cut toward his right arm. If he cuts at you like this, and you stand with your right foot toward him, and you hold your scythe toward the man with your left hand at your lower grip, your right at your middle one, then go up with your scythe and take his cut away with it on your right side.

In that instant, let your left hand loose from your lower grip and step back away with your left leg, thus you escape out from his cut. Next, grab hold of your lower grip again with your left hand and step around and in again with your left leg. With that, cut to the right side of his neck and step back from him.

Present yourself like so in this piece with the javelin: Stand with your left foot ahead and hold it with both hands on your right side, your front end or point toward the man. If he then also stands with his left foot toward you and holds his sword overhead in a high cut against you, and he wishes to cut in at your head, then quickly stab at his body. If he stabs at you like this, then step backwards with your left leg and cut with your sword to the left side of the shaft of his javelin with the Zwerch so that you take his thrust away with it. If he cuts opposing you like this and takes your thrust away from you, then follow in after with your right leg and thrust at him with the front end of your javelin toward the right side of his body. With this, step back from him.

When you both are coming together, then present yourself like so in this piece with your halberd: Stand with your left foot forward and hold your halberd extended in front of your face with your right hand on the back end, pointed toward the man, your left at the middle, high on your left side. 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. If he cuts from above at you like this, then step twice with a chasing and stab him twice from below and above as you step away from him with it.

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 are both going together, then hold yourself like this in this piece: Stand with your right foot forward and hold your halberd with your right hand on the lower end at your right hip, your left in the middle toward the man, the point up. At that moment, stab him in his face with your forward end. If he stabs you high like this, and you also stand with your left foot toward him, well in the balance, and you hold your sword with both hands on the haft on your left side, the point toward the man, then plant your long edge on his halberd and set him aside with it. In that moment, step in with your right leg and go up over your head with your sword with crossed arms and cut high to his head with your long edge. If he cuts high at you like this, then wind your halberd behind your head and back around and strike him with the blade of your halberd toward his head.

Conduct yourself like this in this piece: When you are closing with each other, stand with your right foot in front and hold your dussack in your right hand toward the man, your left hand on your left hip. In that moment, quickly cut toward his head. If he cuts high at you like this, and you are standing with your left foot toward him, then oppose his dussack with crossed arms, restraining his cut with yours, away to your right side. At that moment, follow in with your right leg and let your sword quickly overrun and cut toward the left side of his head. If he cuts high at you like this, then take that away with your dussack on your left side. In that moment, leap to his right side with your left foot and cut to his right arm. If he cuts to your right arm like this, then hang well to your right side and parry his cut with your sword. In that moment, step in there with your left leg and cut to his forward leg.

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.

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.

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.

At that moment, cut to his head. If he cuts from above at you like this, and you also stand with your left foot toward him, and you are supporting your halberd with your right hand at the back end behind your head, your left toward the man on the shaft by the blade, then take away his cut on your right side with your blade. In that moment, stab him in the chest with your front end. If he thrusts at you like this, then take it away on your right side with your spear.

Present yourself like so in this piece from the approach: Step in with your left leg and cut a high cut to 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. If he has wound into you with his point like this, then fall upon his halberd with the Crown and push it far below, thus you take that away. 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.

Conduct yourself like so with the approach in in this piece: Step in with your left leg and thrust toward his body with your halberd. If he stabs at you like this, and you stand with your left leg toward him, then go up in the Crown with your dussack, taking his thrust away. 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.

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.

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.

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

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

[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.

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

If you both approach each other, then put your left leg in front, and hold the sickle high with the right hand against the opponent, and from there cut his head. But if he in turn attempts to injure you from above, then again put your left leg in front, and hold your sickle against the opponent in the cut from below, then you will hinder his right arm from the front with the left hand, and if you then lift this, you can displace the high attack of the opponent.

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

 +
Item: conduct yourself thus in this device with the onset. Wind yourself with stabs and with thrusts doubly in at him [so] that your left leg comes in forward and [you] stab him at his right side [so] that the thumb stands by your rondel.
 +
 
 +
If he thus stabs at your right side and you stand with your right foot forward, so take that away from the binding behind his rondel [so] that your thumb is [shall be] above on your pommel. Immediately step with your left foot behind his right* and set your left hand behind his right elbow; shove him therewith from you and stab him at his neck.
 +
 
 +
BREAK
  
Do as follows in this technique: stand with your left and right arm as described before, so that you may see what your opponent is up to, your left foot forward, and your left hand closed beside your left leg. If your opponent advances on you like this and grabs you by the right shoulder with his left hand, then wind your right closed hand on the outside over his left arm and press down, that way his attempt is countered.
+
If he has thus set on, so set your left foot back and grab with your left hand outward over his right<ref>Dagger transfer necessary at this point.</ref> and stab him at his face. If he takes that away with his dagger, so grab with your left hand on his right; push him therewith under himself and thrust him in his face.
  
{{*}} Latin: The first technique where the opponent is thrust away by the elbow, and the endeavor of his arm is weakened.
+
If he thus thrusts doubly at you, so grab with your left hand on his right arm, step with your right foot behind his right and shove him with strength from yourself.<ref>Note: person on left side starts with the dagger in the left hand according to the illustration.</ref>

 +
 
 +
Item: conduct yourself thus in this taking away. Set your right foot forward and go to him with your dagger at his right arm. If he stands also thus against you with his right foot forward and is simultaneously working with you, so grab with your left hand in front on his right, shove him therewith under himself and stab at his right side.
  
If your opponent advances upon you as mentioned above, then use this technique: reach over his left arm with your left arm and grab hold of the inside of his left leg just above the knee, and step behind him on his right side with your left foot. Now, do keep in mind that your stepping and grabbing him are done at the same time, and fast. Do that, and you will throw him over. Note also that this technique can be done from both sides.
+
If he thus stabs at you, so seize him with your left hand by his right elbow and step in with your left foot; shove him therewith from you.
  
{{*}} Latin: Bolt hold wrestling.
+
If he thus shoves you from him, so step with your right leg back on your right side so you wind yourself away from him. In this, step with equal feet together and stab him in his face. If he thus takes away this stab and sets this of yours off with his dagger on his right arm and grabs you with his left hand on your right arm, so grab with your left hand well under his right arm pit and twist him on your right side.<ref>Note: push down, not out</ref> Immediately step in behind and stab him in his neck.

Item: conduct yourself thus with this device. Stand with your right foot forward.

Do as follows in this device: when he advances on you with his arms close to his chest, and grabs you with his left hand by the right shoulder, then grab with your right hand from outside over his left arm by the wrist and with your left hand grab towards your right. Then, press his left hand with both hands onto your chest, so that he must bend down. Then, turn around from your left side to your right and throw him over your right leg.

If he has thus seized you and desires to take your dagger, so release it to him.

Item: Conduct yourself thus. Stand with your left foot forward and hold your dagger in your left hand upright against his face. If he should then stand also against you with his right foot forward and holds his dagger up, the thumb on the pommel, the point against the man, so follow with your right leg in after and thrust him at his face.
 +
 
 +
If he thus thrusts above at you, so wind your blade on your arm, immediately go well up in front of your face and take away his stab on your right side. Immediately step in with your left leg and thrust him doubly at his face or the breast.
 +
 
 +
If he takes away your [thrust], so spring with your right foot in [the] triangle and thrust him therewith at his right side.
 +
 
 +
If he thus thrusts at you, so set his [thrust] aside, immediately tear after him and seek his next [nearest?] opening
 +
 
 +
If he has set himself forward, so change through nimbly and thrust at his genitals.
  
When you both go together, then observe carefully that you grab your opponent with the tong hold, that is with crossed arms, around the neck with your right hand, behind his shoulder by the leather collar that martial arts masters use to wear. If he then tries to free himself with his left arm, and reaches through under your right arm in order to get free of it above, then quickly step with right leg behind both his feet, and grab with your left hand between his legs in his crotch. Lift up with your left, and push hard to your right with your right hand by his neck, and throw him over your forward leg.
+
If you become aware of this thrust, so fall to him with your left hand on his right and remove his thrust therewith. Immediately stab nimbly at this face and step back into a good stance.

[7] '''A run-through under the arm'''*
 
  
When you both come together, then grab hold of your opponent's left hand with your right, and pull it up well. Then slip under his left arm with your head and waist, so that you have his left arm on your right shoulder and step with your left foot toward his right, so that your right leg then is in front. Then grab with your left hand well around his waist from behind. By holding him this way you can carry him away.
+
If he thus thrusts at your face, so take notice even as [he thrusts] and grab with your left hand inwardly on his right arm and set away his thrust therewith, immediately stab doubly at his face.
 +
If he thus stabs doubly at you, so take that away with your dagger; immediately set your left hand under his right elbow and shove him from you on your right side.

If he desires to shove you thus from himself, so step in with your left<ref>Vienna and Munich MS Latin: right.</ref> leg and grab with your left hand on his left. Press therewith under yourself, thus you will free yourself from him. Immediately thrust him nimbly in his face and simultaneously in the thrust grab with your left hand under his right armpit and shove him with strength from you.

[21] '''A throw out of the upper weak point'''*
 
  
Do as follows in this technique: step with your left leg onto his right side behind both his legs, and put your left hand on his throat and with your right hand grab around his waist on his right side. If he resists, and grasps your right elbow with his left hand, and with his right hand around your waist onto your right side, and wants to remove you, then push him above at the weak point, ie the neck, over your left leg, and you will throw him over it onto his back.
+
If he should thus thrust at you, thus take that away with your dagger blade on your right side. Immediately step with your left leg outward in front of his right and stab at his throat [neck]. If he should set you aside thus grip with your left hand inward around his right arm so you take away his setting aside and have again a complete thrust to his face.
  
{{*}} Latin: A throw out of a strike to the chin or throat.
+
If he should thus thrusts twice at you thus nimbly snatch with your left hand his right. Immediately change twice through at his breast and step therewith back in a good setting aside.<ref>May not represent the changing though described.</ref>

[22] '''A throw from the middle weak point'''
+
[16] '''An entry with a throw'''
  
Do as follows in this device: when you go together, step out well behind his left with your right foot, and lift his right leg high from the inside with your left hand, and with your right hand grab around his waist behind his back and onto his right side. If your opponent is holding you this way and tries to throw you over, then grab hold around his waist, ie the middle weak point, with both arms and press him hard onto you. If he presses you towards himself this way, then just move back a little and lift his right leg high, that way you will throw him on your right side.
+
Item: conduct yourself thus in this approach: stand with your left foot forward and hold your dagger, the thumb by your rondel.<ref>Note illustration shows ice-pick grip.</ref> If he then stands also thus against you with this right foot forward and thrusts at your face, thus grip [grab] with your left hand well in front on his right [hand?], thus his stab is set aside. Immediately travel with your right hand with the dagger round his right leg well into the hollow of his knee and tug [pull] therewith around well toward yourself. Pull with [the dagger] below well toward yourself and shove above from yourself thus you throw him back.

[23] '''A common throw'''
+
[17] '''A breast thrust with a genital thrust'''
  
When you step together, put your left leg between both his legs, and press with your chin below his neck. If he then bends down and enters the scales, then grab with your left hand between his legs and with your right around his waist hold his right side, and pull him towards you. If he holds you this way and is about to throw you, then take hold around his waist with both your arms, and pull him to you. If he presses himself against you thus, then press him hard away from you with your chin, and lift him up underneath, and he falls backwards.
+
Item: conduct yourself thus with this approach: Stand with your left foot forward your thumb on your pommel and thrust at his breast.
| {{paget|page:MS Dresd.C.94|070r|png}}
+
 
| {{section|page:Cod.10826 031r.png|German|lbl=031r}}

If he should thus thrust at you, so take it away from him with the blade of your dagger and thrust at his genitals.

+
 
| {{paget|page:Cod.icon. 393 I|247r|jpg}}
+
If you become aware of the thrust at the genitals, so fall to him with your left hand on his right; turn his dagger [marginalia] therewith from you, thus you stab him in his genitals.
 +
 
 +
If he should thus shove your dagger at you, thus set your right leg nimbly back so you will avoid his stabs. Immediately step with your right foot nimbly again towards him and go to him with your dagger to his face.
 +
 
 +
If he thus thrusts at you to your face, thus set that aside between both hands on your dagger blade. Immediately catch his dagger on your dagger and step with your right leg in front of his right. Immediately wind to him your pommel over his right hand, so he must leave you the dagger.
 +
 
 +
If he has thus taken your dagger, so travel to him with your right hand forward around his throat so you throw him over your right leg.

 +
 
 +
Item: conduct yourself thus: set your left [marginalia] foot forward and go from below up to his face. If he then also stands against you with his right foot forward, so seize your dagger, the thumb by your rondel, and thrust to him from above at his face.
 +
 
 +
If he thus thrusts above at you so bind equally with him. Immediately grip with your left hand above over his right arm and seize the dagger and the arm together. Immediately wind with your dagger on your right so you break his arm.
 +
 
 +
If he has thus seized you and desires to break your arm, so step with your left leg toward him. Immediately grip with your left hand in front on his right, press therewith under yourself so you will be free of him. Immediately stab him at his face or the breast.
  
Do the following technique this way: when you go together then step in front of his right and grab him with your right hand in his left armpit and with your left hand reach around his waist to support your right. If he holds you this way, then reach around his waist and take hold in front of his chest with your left hand and hold him firmly in his right arm above his elbow. Then step with your right foot in front of your right and swing him over your hip, then he must fall.
+
If he thus thrusts at you, so set your left leg back and set him aside with your dagger blade from one side to the other. Immediately take two steps towards him and stab him below and above at his openings.

[19] '''A genital thrust with a throw'''
 +
 
 +
Item: when you both in the onset come together so, stand with your right foot forward and stab at his genitals.
 +
 
 +
If he thus stabs at you below and you stand with your right foot forward, so seize your dagger in both hands and press away therewith his low thrust.
 +
 
 +
If he has thus taken your thrust away so step with your left leg in front on his right foot. Immediately grip with your left hand behind around his neck and tug therewith strongly toward yourself so you will throw him in front underneath yourself.
  
When you both go together, do thus: take a long step with your left leg in front of both of your opponent's legs, and reach around with your right hand around his waist and grab him in front of the chest with your left hand, around his waist as well to support your right hand. If he holds you this way, then you reach around his waist and grab hold over his right arm, and use your right hand as support. Now, lower yourself into the scales, and swing him over your left leg, and he will fall.
+
If you want to counter that, so release your right hand from your dagger and grip therewith well under his left elbow.<ref>Note: left is corrected from a right. Left is correct.</ref> Immediately shove strongly away from yourself so you can throw him and so you will be free from his hurts.

Item: conduct yourself thus: stand with your right foot forward and stab equally<ref>This seems to imply both parallel action and simultaneity.</ref> in with him. Immediately let your dagger fall and grip with your right hand well behind his right elbow and with the left well forward by his right hand. Immediately twist<ref>''Reib'' - strong twisting, bending, rotating motion.</ref> therewith from yourself so you will break his arm.
  
This technique is performed thus: if your opponent holds you with his right hand on the inside of your left arm and has put his left hand on your neck in order to pull you towards him, then reach over his shoulder with your right arm and with your left grab hold of his right elbow. Now, take a good step forward with your right leg, and in your upper grip press down hard, and you will break his arm, or if you rather, throw him over your hip/front leg.
+
If you want to prevent him breaking the arm, so let your dagger also fall and grip with your left hand forward on his right. Press therewith below him thus you will be free of the arm break. Immediately step with your left leg in front of his right and seize him with your left hand by his neck so you will throw him over the same leg.

Item: When you both come together with the onset your right leg set before you and equally<ref>Could also mean immediately</ref> stab in with each other, so grip with your left hand nimbly over your right arm at his point.
 +
 
 +
If he has thus seized your dagger so grip also with your left hand on his dagger. So you are with each other in equal struggle [work]. Immediately wind his dagger over your right arm on your left side and push your dagger with strength also over his right arm so he must release both daggers to you.
 +
 
 +
If he has then all two [both] of the daggers so grip nimbly both his arms and heave [lift] them strongly and press therewith under him.
 +
 
 +
If he then presses thus under himself so wind with both your arms [in] over his arm.
  
When you see your opponent coming toward you, then step forward with your right foot, and put your left arm under his right elbow, and pull toward you, so that he bends down, and when he does so, grab his right hand with your left, twist it down, and you will break it. If he holds you this way, and is about to break your arm, then grab his right arm with your left hand and press down, and you will break free of him. Then, quickly put your left hand on his neck and step with your left foot behind his right and throw him over it.
+
If he has thus wound over you, so grip with your left hand in front on his left and with the right on his dagger by his grip, so he must then release the dagger to you. Immediately tear him [it] away and stab him doubly at his face. Tug<ref>zucken; Latin – to withdraw</ref> therewith back with a good stance.

[1] '''First engaging into grappling'''
  
When you go together do as described: step with your left leg on the outside behind his right, and take hold with your left hand from below on his right side. If he should grab you thus, then take quickly take hold with your left hand in his left hand, and pull it onto your chest. After that, you reach over his left arm with your right arm and take hold of his shoulder, and reach under it with your right to support your left. Then press down hard with your armpit and you will break his arm, and furthermore if you then swing him from your right hip over your right leg, he will fall over.
+
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.

 +
 
 +
Do as follows in this technique: stand with your left and right arm as described before, so that you may see what your opponent is up to, your left foot forward, and your left hand closed beside your left leg. If your opponent advances on you like this and grabs you by the right shoulder with his left hand, then wind your right closed hand on the outside over his left arm and press down, that way his attempt is countered.
  
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.

[82] '''A toppling from the tongs'''
+
[3] '''Closed wrestling'''*
  
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.
+
If your opponent advances upon you as mentioned above, then use this technique: reach over his left arm with your left arm and grab hold of the inside of his left leg just above the knee, and step behind him on his right side with your left foot. Now, do keep in mind that your stepping and grabbing him are done at the same time, and fast. Do that, and you will throw him over. Note also that this technique can be done from both sides.

[99] '''A carry-off with a throw'''
  
If you have been thrown to the ground by your opponent, then make sure above all things that your hands are not caught. Quickly, with one hand grab onto his face with the thumb under his chin and the rest of the fingers in his eyes, and press them away as hard as you can, and with the other hand hit him in the bladder. Extend the one leg that is the freest, and pull him towards you again, and he will receive a good hit to the groin as well. With these three moves mentioned here you will break free of him and weaken him as well.  
+
Do as follows in the device described here below: stand with both feet erect facing him and put your left side out against him. Then grab with your left hand around his waist and onto his left armpit. If he holds you thus, then step down into the scales with your body against his waist, and reach around his both legs with your hands. Then, if you straighten up you might throw him or carry him away. If he holds you this way and is about to throw you, then grab hold of is hair with your right hand, that way you will not fall.

 +
 
 +
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.

If he thrusts low at you like this, then set him aside with your dagger and quickly cut at his head in the same moment and pull yourself back away from him.

Item: conduct yourself thus with the onset. Stand with your left foot forward and hold your dagger, the thumb by your rondel. Immediately stab him at his left side.

If you have been overtaken, however it may have happened, and your adversary is working against you with cuts or thrusts and you are wearing your cloak, then conduct yourself like so: Take your cloak in your left hand behind the nape of your neck by your hood and quickly swing it around your left arm and catch his thrust with it, taking it away on your left side. In this moment, swing the cloak in front of his face so that you blind him and stab him in the torso. If he has blinded you and stabbed at you like this, then step back away from him with your right leg and force his rapier down with the long edge of your rapier, thus you take away his thrust. In that moment quickly step back in again with your right foot and cut at his head with your long edge.

If he thus stabs at you at your breast, so grip with your left hand in front on his dagger and wind it over his right arm so he must release his dagger to you.

If your adversary is going in toward you, and he brings a high thrust with his dagger against you, then step in with your right leg and take his thrust away with the cross of your dagger on your left side. Now quickly let your dagger fall and take hold of him with your left hand inside on his right arm close to his hand and your right hand on the front left side of his neck. Next, quickly hit him in the ankle with your left foot around his right, pulling that strongly towards you; push him strongly away from you above. Thus, you throw him backwards.

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.
+
Follow this piece like so: Step in with your left leg and stab toward his face or chest from above with your dagger. If he goes to you like this with a thrust, and you are standing with your left leg toward him, then follow in after with your right leg and go to his dagger with your dagger’s cross, taking away his thrust on your left side. If he has taken away your thrust like this, then reach your left hand under and through your right arm and catch his dagger by the point. Pull strongly downwards so that he must give the dagger to you. If he has stripped your dagger like this and wishes to skewer you, then fall upon the inside of his right arm with your left hand and push that down hard so that you take away his thrust. In the same instant fall to his throat with your right hand. If he wants to pounce upon you like this, then grab him under his right elbow with your left hand and lift upwards so that you take away his strike. Now hit him in the ankle with your right foot around his left and pull strongly with it towards you; push strongly away from you above so that you throw him backwards.
 
 
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.
 
 
 
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 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.

Item: wind yourself in with stabs and thrusts in the onset against the man.
 
 
And when you come before the man so set your right foot forwards and hold your dagger, the thumb by your rondel, and set yourself well down in the Scales. Reach therewith out of the Shears up before him.
 
 
If he stands then with his right foot against you, his dagger well upright in the high [guard], the thumb on his pommel and desires to thrust in your face, so go to him with your right hand with your dagger around his right leg and with the left grip him at his right arm so his stab is taken away.
 
 
If he has thus taken away your stab, so set to him with your left hand on his chin.
 
 
If he has thus set upon you and wishes to make himself free, so follow after him with your left leg and shove him below and above well over himself so you throw him back.

| <p>[24] '''A Piece on the Rapier against the Boar-spear'''</p>
 +
 
 +
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.

[46] '''Another throw at the dagger'''
 
  
Item [stind?]: If you both come together in the onset so that your left foot stands forward and you stand in the lower Scales and you have your dagger in the right hand, so lay the dagger’s blade outside on your arm and hold thus your hand with the dagger next to your right leg in the guard [posture, stance].

If he thus steps in front of you in the Scales and he stands with his [??lower??] '''[ge..nen] '''[ge..ch?] '''[tibia in Latin] '''leg upright in the high thrust the point turned against the man, so step with your left leg inwardly in front of his left and stab him therewith above at this face.

If he thus thrusts also at your face, so grab with your left hand on his right arm and immediately stab him inwardly under his left leg in through and heave therewith his leg well over itself and shove above with the left his right well over itself, so you bring him into disorder [schwerhe] '''[weakness, hardship, trouble, difficulty, vulnerability, out of balance] '''and to the throw.

[1] '''A High Thrust against a Low Thrust with the Rappier'''
  
If he has thus seized you below and above and brought you into disorder, so fall nimbly with your left upper hand on his left shoulder in around his neck and tug therewith strongly to yourself so he must fall to the ground with you.
+
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.<ref name="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 has thus seized you by the neck and wants to pull you with him in falling, so release your left hand from his right and strike with your left inwardly in the middle of his arm on your left side so he must let go the arm which he has he has thrown around your neck and you escape the fall.
+
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.

[2] '''An ''Understich'' against an ''Oberhaw'''''
  
Item: if you both stand with your left legs forward, upright before one another and you hold the dagger in your right hand, the thumb behind over the pommel, the man in the High [stance or guard] '''to a high stab, the point turned [against]<ref>Possible abbreviation of gegen – geg.</ref> the [man], so stab him from above at his face, and step therewith with your right leg into him so the [???] '''stab goes in powerfully.
+
Hold yourself like this with this technique: stand with your left foot forward and hold your Rappier in an ''Understich'' ("low thrust position") opposite the opponent on your right side with the blade along your left thigh. He then stands with his right foot opposite you and strikes from above to your head. Then drive up with your Rappier out of the low thrust position and with that fall over his Rappier to take away his strike to your left side with your short edge. Then immediately follow outward with your right leg and do an extended strike from above to his head.
  
If he stabs thus at you and you stand with your left leg forward upright with the body and hold your dagger by the grip in the right hand so grab with the left hand well forward on your blade. Wind that in and go with upright arms in against his stab and take it away on your blade between both your hands and step therewith with your right leg into him and in that same [action] '''so fall with your dagger and both hands over his head and hold the dagger by the point and grip strongly in both your hands and tug him therewith, bend his neck under itself to him so you may throw him.  
+
If he strikes like this to your upper opening, then take it away with your long edge and immediately step back. As you step back pay attention that you strike his right forward set leg and with that yank back away from him.
 
+
| {{paget|page:MS Dresd.C.94|139v|png}}
If he has seized you above and pulled you thus under yourself in front of yourself so twist your right arm and stab from above behind [immediately or in forward] '''on his left arm and grab therewith with your left inward well in front on the arm by his hand and shove therewith strongly on the side from you and in that so wind yourself with your body from your left side on your right well under through so you wind yourself thus [away] '''from him.

[3] '''An Understich against a ''Zornhaw'' ("wrath strike")'''
  
Item: If you stand with your right foot forward, and have placed yourself with the body under itself in the Scales, and lay your left arm over your right arm crosswise in front of your breast; hold the dagger in the Shears, in the right hand by the grip, the point turned over itself.
+
It happens like this with this technique at the closing: he stands with his right foot forward and holds his Rappier with his right hand outside of his right leg. You then stand opposite him with both feet together and hold your Rappier up high in the ''Zornhaw'' over your head.<ref name="illustration"/> He thinks you will then strike him wrathfully from above, but step in with your right leg and wind with a ''Verborgnen Stich'' ("concealed thrust") behind your head and forward from your right side to your left into his face with a ''Nachtruck'' ("after-press").
  
If he then lies thus with stretched-out arms in the low Scales, and you thus stand forward with your right foot and you hold your dagger in the right hand by the grip, the thumb on the pommel thus in the High up over your head, so step with your right leg in to him, and stab him from above at his face or the breast.
+
If he has wound a thrust like this towards your face, then take it away with your short edge to your left side, immediately follow outward with your left leg and strike him with the same thrust to his right opening that you then see. With that step back away from him.  
 
+
| {{paget|page:MS Dresd.C.94|140r|png}}
If he stabs thus at you, and you with crossed arms stand thus in the low Scales, so go against with the left hand on his right arm, and seize him well by the elbow and step therewith with your left leg outwardly in front of his right, and stab him therewith with your dagger well outward, in through under the back of his knee and heave therewith with the arm well over itself, and with the left, shove above his right well from you, so he must fall backward; then he is trapped above and below, and brought into difficulties.

[4] '''An ''Underhaw'' against a High Thrust'''
 +
 
 +
Hold yourself like this with this technique at the closing: stand with your left foot forward and hold your Rappier in an ''Underhaw'' outside next to your left thigh. He then stands with his right foot opposite you and fires a high thrust towards your face or chest.<ref name="illustration"/> Then go up with your Rappier out of the ''Underhaw'' and take his thrust away with your long edge and at the same time follow outward with your right leg and strike to his head. Then immediately step with your right leg behind your left in the triangle and wind a thrust towards him from your left to his right side.
  
Item: If one meets you thus in the onset, and you stand with your left foot forward, and he stabs you thus at the body, so step with your left foot against him and grab in nimbly with your left hand at his right arm, and push therewith strongly under itself, so you take away his stab. If he then thus takes away your stab, so spring with your right behind his left foot and stab him [in that] '''nimbly at his face; so that you all can also work at one another.
+
If he thrusts at you like this, then strike against his thrust with an ''Underhaw'' with the long edge and with that spring back. Thus his thrust is averted.

If he has taken you aside like this, then yank your Rappier up quickly away from his Dagger and thrust low to his body.
  
If he thus stabs at you, so spring with your left behind his right foot and pull him by the left shoulder strongly to you so he has to give up from his stab and you move him under yourself.
+
If he thrusts low at you like this, then step back with your right leg and take this aside with the long edge of your Rappier. Then immediately quickly step in once again and strike or thrust to his head. With that yank yourself back from him into a good ''Versazung'' ("parry position").

[19] '''An Upper ''Abnemen'' ("Take Away/Defense") with the Buckler'''
|
+
 
[65] '''How One Shall Hold Down a Thrown Opponent'''
+
It happens like this with these techniques in the Sword: stand with your right foot forward, your blade on your left shoulder, the Buckler in your left hand.<ref name="illustration"/> Then immediately spring in with your left foot and strike him from below inward to his right arm. If he parries this, then thrust him with your Sword behind your head in towards his face.
  
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.
+
If he thrusts you like this to your face and you stand with your left foot forward, parry this with your Buckler in your left hand, then immediately spring with your left leg well to his left side and thrust to his right. Should he perceive the thrust and parry it, then strike his forward set leg and with that spring back and wind the point double to his face.

[20] '''A Throw in the Sword'''
|
 
[66] '''A Catch against a Thrust'''
 
  
If your adversary is going in toward you, and he brings a high thrust with his dagger against you, then step in with your right leg and take his thrust away with the cross of your dagger on your left side. Now quickly let your dagger fall and take hold of him with your left hand inside on his right arm close to his hand and your right hand on the front left side of his neck. Next, quickly hit him in the ankle with your left foot around his right, pulling that strongly towards you; push him strongly away from you above. Thus, you throw him backwards.

It happens like this in this technique: spring in with both feet and thrust to his face or chest. If he parries this with his Buckler, then set your left leg to the rear and strike to his left arm. Then immediately spring in with your left foot and thrust to his right side. If he sets this aside with his Buckler, then strike inward from below to his left arm. Then immediately follow outward with your right leg and wind the thrust to his face or chest.

If he fires the thrust and strike at you like this, then parry him with your Buckler and immediately spring in with your right foot and thrust him powerfully under your left arm to his right side. Should he perceive this thrust, strike his Sword away with an ''Oberhaw'', immediately let your Sword fall, step with your left leg between both of his legs, and grab with your right hand over and around his left shoulder and with your left under his right shoulder and also around his body.<ref name="illustration"/> Thus you have him in the Wag and can throw him wherever you want.

[21] '''A Thrust with an ''Abnemen'''''
|
+
 
[67] '''Stripping a Dagger, Which Comes from a Grapple'''
+
When you go together hold yourself like this in this technique:  step in with your left leg and thrust under and through with your Sword to his left shoulder, with your Buckler under your right arm.<ref name="illustration"/>
 +
 
 +
If he thrusts towards you like this, then take this away with your Buckler and immediately strike to his head.
 +
 
 +
If he strikes to your head like this, then drive up with your Buckler in front of your head and parry him with that. Then immediately pull your Sword up above you and thrust him from below to his chest.
 +
 
 +
If he thrusts towards you like this, then take this away with your Buckler from above down towards the ground. Then immediately step in with your left leg and thrust him again from below to his left side.
  
Follow this piece like so: Step in with your left leg and stab toward his face or chest from above with your dagger. If he goes to you like this with a thrust, and you are standing with your left leg toward him, then follow in after with your right leg and go to his dagger with your dagger’s cross, taking away his thrust on your left side. If he has taken away your thrust like this, then reach your left hand under and through your right arm and catch his dagger by the point. Pull strongly downwards so that he must give the dagger to you. If he has stripped your dagger like this and wishes to skewer you, then fall upon the inside of his right arm with your left hand and push that down hard so that you take away his thrust. In the same instant fall to his throat with your right hand. If he wants to pounce upon you like this, then grab him under his right elbow with your left hand and lift upwards so that you take away his strike. Now hit him in the ankle with your right foot around his left and pull strongly with it towards you; push strongly away from you above so that you throw him backwards.
+
If he thrusts towards your left side like this, then drop your Buckler on his Sword and take it away with that, then immediately strike to his head and with that yank yourself back from him.

[22] '''An ''Abnemen'' from Both Sides'''
|
+
 
[68] '''A Grapple that Proceeds Out of a Reverse'''
+
Hold yourself like this when you come together in this technique: step in with your left leg and thrust with your Sword to his face.
 +
 
 +
If he thrusts to your face like this and you stand with your right foot opposite him, then take this away with your Buckler on your left side and at the same time thrust him with your sword extended to his face.<ref name="illustration"/> If he likewise takes this away with his Buckler, then step in with your left leg and thrust high over his Buckler with an extended arm to his face such that the short edge is directed downwards.
 +
 
 +
If he thrusts high to your face like this, then drive your Buckler upwards and displace his thrust. Then immediately step back with your left leg and strike to his left arm.
  
Since you both have gone against one another with high thrusts and have mutually wrenched each other’s daggers away, conduct yourself like so: Step with in toward him with your right leg and grab his right hand with your left. Twist his arm around as you turn yourself around so that you bring his right arm upon your left shoulder. In the same instant, grab him with your right hand all the way through between both of his thighs. Lift him forcefully upward and pull forward on his right arm. Thus, you carry him wherever you wish him to go, and you are also able to break his arm.
+
If he strikes you like this, then set this aside with your long edge and at the same time hit him in the chest with your Buckler. Then yank yourself back from him with an ''Oberhaw''.

[23] '''A Chest Thrust with an ''Abnemen'''''
|
+
 
[69] '''Another Grapple out of the Dagger'''
+
It happens like this when you come for the opponent in this technique: stand with your right foot forward and do an extended thrust to his chest.
 +
 
 +
If he then thrusts towards you like this and you likewise stand with your right foot opposite him, then drop your Buckler downward and displace his thrust with that and at the same time snap from below to thrust to his chest such that your long edge is turned upwards. If he displaces this with his Buckler, then spring with your left foot in front of his right and strike his right arm.
 +
 
 +
If he strikes you like this, then step with your left leg in the triangle and take it away with your Buckler. Then immediately yank your Sword towards you and thrust from below to his chest.
  
Hold yourself like so in this piece in the approach: Step in with your left leg and stab him with a high thrust toward his face. If he stabs at you like this, then take it away with the cross of your dagger of your left side. At the same moment, grab the point of his dagger from below, with your left hand over your right arm, and turn it downwards so that he must give it to you. If he has wrenched away your dagger like this, then grab his right hand with your left hand inside and close by his hand while you duck your head down low so that you bring his right arm solidly upon your left shoulder. In the same moment, go inside between both of his legs by his nuts with your right hand. Lift strongly upwards while you pull his arm downwards toward you, thus you are able to throw him or carry him wherever you wish.
+
If he thrust towards you from below like this, then drop onto his sword with your Sword and Buckler so that this is taken away. Then immediately wind behind your head and forward to thrust to his face. With that yank yourself away from him to the rear.

[24] '''To Take the Sword'''
|
 
[70] '''A Reverse with a Throw'''
 
  
Present yourself with the approach like so in this piece: Step in with your right leg and stab at his face or chest with a high thrust. If he stabs from above at you like this, then put the cross of your dagger upon his dagger and take away his thrust. Now, wind out from below on top of his dagger. Once you have wound his dagger away, then grab him by the left arm, going inside with your inverted left hand close by his hand. Next, turn yourself so that you bring his left arm firmly upon your right shoulder and stab back into his privates with your dagger in your right hand. If he stabs at you like this, then fall upon his right arm with your right hand close by his hand. Pull that strongly to you and with your left arm which he has taken hold of you, push strongly away from you on your left side. Thus you throw him backwards over your left leg.
+
Note this technique when you go together and the opponent has you in the bind: stand with your left foot forward and he stands opposite you with his right. Hold your Sword to your Buckler in your left hand and catch his sword blade well forward near the point with your right. With that snatch it out of his hand (as in illustration.
|  
+
 
| {{section|page:Cod.10826 119r.png|German|lbl=119r}}
+
If he has grabbed your sword out of your hand like this, then step in with your left leg and catch his sword that is in his left hand and thrust your buckler high onto his left arm so that he must release his sword. If he then strikes at you with pommel and cross, drive high with your Buckler and displace this. Then step back twice as you take your sword in your hand again. If he then travels after you, quickly go in again onto his blade and wind your point to his face.

[25] '''A Throw out of the Bind'''
 +
 
 +
It happens like this when you go together: stand with your left leg forward and bind on his blade such that your long edge is turned upward near the point and opposite his chest. 
 +
 
 +
If you then also stand with your right foot opposite him and likewise have him in the bind, hold your Sword and Buckler together in your left hand and then immediately step in with your left leg, catch his sword and snatch it out of his hand.
 +
 
 +
If he has taken your Sword like this then thrust with the spike of your Buckler into his face and at the same time catch his left leg with your right hand and pull upward so that he must fall backwards.<ref name="illustration"/>

[71] '''One More Throw'''
 
  
Present yourself like this in this piece from the approach: Step in there with your right leg and stab him with a high thrust to his face or chest. If he thrusts from above at you like this, and you are also standing in a high thrust against him, then take the thrust away to your left side with the cross of your dagger. In the same moment, grab his right arm from below with your left hand close by his hand. If he then wants to grab you with his left hand upon your right, then allow your dagger to fall and seize his left hand with your right. In that moment, settle yourself very low in the scales with your body and kick him in the stomach with your left leg as you lower yourself to fall over backwards. As you fall, come to the help of your left leg with your right. Thus, you fling him over yourself using both your legs.

[27] '''A Chest Thrust with a Grab'''

[1] '''A High Thrust against a Low Thrust with the Rappier'''
+
It happens like this when you go together in this technique: stand with your right foot forward and thrust from your left side to his right chest with a winding thrust.
 +
 
 +
If he thrusts towards you like this and you stand with your right foot forward, then take your Sword to your Buckler in your left hand and immediately grab his sword blade with your right hand.<ref name="illustration"/>
  
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 has grabbed your sword like this, then set your left hand with your Buckler over your right and with that step back with your right leg. Thus he must release your sword to you. Then immediately travel after him and thrust to his face.
  
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.
+
If he travels after you like this and thrusts to your face, displace this with your Buckler and at the same time step back with your right leg and then thrust from below to his chest. If he displaces this, then strike from above with a winding strike to his head. With that yank yourself back away from him.

[28] '''A Bind with a Grab'''
|
 
[2] '''An Understich against an Oberhaw'''
 
  
Hold yourself like this with this technique: stand with your left foot forward and hold your Rappier in an Understich (low thrust position) opposite the opponent on your right side with the blade along your left thigh. He then stands with his right foot opposite you and strikes from above to your head. Then drive up with your Rappier out of the low thrust position and with that fall over his Rappier to take away his strike to your left side with your short edge. Then immediately follow outward with your right leg and do an extended strike from above to his head.
+
Hold yourself like this when you go together with this technique: step in with your right leg and hold the Buckler extended over your Sword with the point opposite the opponent.  
 +
 +
If he then likewise is in the bind with you and you stand with your right leg opposite him, hold your Sword together with the Buckler in your left hand during the bind and then immediately grab his sword blade with your right hand and yank towards yourself.<ref name="illustration"/>
  
If he strikes like this to your upper opening, then take it away with your long edge and immediately step back. As you step back pay attention that you strike his right forward set leg and with that yank back away from him.
+
If he holds your Sword like this and yanks you towards him, then grab your blade near the hilt with your left hand and yank strongly towards you. Thus he must release your sword. Then immediately thrust quickly from below to his groin. If he displaces this with his sword, step outward with your left leg and thrust with the spike of your Buckler to his face.

+
Hold yourself like this when you go together: step in with your left leg and do a low extended thrust to his groin such that you have your Buckler in your left hand near your hilt.
  
It happens like this with this technique at the closing: he stands with his right foot forward and holds his Rappier with his right hand outside of his right leg. You then stand opposite him with both feet together and hold your Rappier up high in the Zornhaw over your head (as in illustration). He thinks you will then strike him wrathfully from above, but step in with your right leg and wind with a Verborgnen Stich (concealed thrust) behind your head and forward from your right side to your left into his face with a Nachtruck (after-press).

If he has stepped in towards you like this and thrusts to your groin, then displace this with your Sword and immediately step outside of his right leg<ref>Should be left.</ref> with your right leg, hold your Sword together with your Buckler in your left hand, and immediately grab over both of this arms with your right hand and pull towards you.<ref name="illustration"/>
  
If he has wound a thrust like this towards your face, then take it away with your short edge to your left side, immediately follow outward with your left leg and strike him with the same thrust to his right opening that you then see. With that step back away from him.

[30] '''Two Grabs'''
|
+
 
[4] '''An Underhaw against a High Thrust'''  
+
It happens like this with this technique: step in with your left leg and bind on his sword blade. He then likewise stands with his left foot opposite you and binds similarly on your blade. Then hold your Sword together with your Buckler in your left hand and immediately drop your right hand onto his beard.
  
Hold yourself like this with this technique at the closing: stand with your left foot forward and hold your Rappier in an Underhaw outside next to your left thigh. He then stands with his right foot opposite you and fires a high thrust towards your face or chest (as in illustration). Then go up with your Rappier out of the Underhaw and take his thrust away with your long edge and at the same time follow outward with your right leg and strike to his head. Then immediately step with your right leg behind your left in the triangle and wind a thrust towards him from your left to his right side.
+
If he has grabbed you like this and holds you by your beard and intends to drop his left hand over his right so that he can snatch your beard downward powerfully, then drop your left hand on his right arm and wind his hand off of your beard.<ref name="illustration"/> Then strike to his head.
  
If he thrusts at you like this, then strike against his thrust with an Underhaw with the long edge and with that spring back. Thus his thrust is averted.
+
If he has wound himself from you like this and strikes towards your head, then once again quickly take your sword in your right hand and displace his strike with your Buckler. Then immediately step back and thrust to his chest. If he takes your thrust away with his Buckler, then strike with a ''Zwirchhaw'' as you move back away from him.

Then immediately yank your Rappier up away from his Rappier’s blade and thrust low to his body.
+
If he thrusts from below towards you like this and you stand with your right foot opposite him, then set this aside with your Buckler and immediately likewise thrust from below to his left side. If he displaces this with his Buckler, then strike with a ''Zwirchhaw'' to his right arm.
  
If he thrusts low towards you like this, then step back with your right leg and drop your Dagger onto his Rappier’s blade and with that take his thrust away to your left side. Then immediately step in quickly with your right leg once again and thrust to his groin.
+
If he strikes towards you like this, then displace it with your long edge and immediately thrust to his groin.
  
If he thrusts low towards you like this, then step back with your left leg and take this aside with your Dagger to your left side. Then immediately step outward again quickly and strike or thrust to his head. With that step back away from him.
+
If he thrusts low towards you like this, then step with your right foot onto his Sword and Buckler, hold your Sword in your left hand at the middle of the blade next to your Buckler, and immediately drive with that around his neck so that you have his head between your arms.<ref name="illustration"/> Then with that shove away from you low and yank towards you high so that you throw him forwards onto the face.

[38] '''A Face Thrust against an ''Absezen'''''
|
+
 
[4] '''Two other Techniques with Free Dagger and Rappier'''
+
It happens like this when you come together with this technique: step in with your right leg and thrust to his face.
  
Hold yourself like this with this technique: grasp your Dagger in the left hand and your Rappier in the right and step in with your left leg to immediately strike with your strong to his head and with your Dagger thrust over his right arm to his body.
+
If you then stand with your left leg opposite him and he thrusts upon you like this, drive against him with your Buckler and displace his thrust with that.<ref name="illustration"/> Then immediately strike quickly with an ''Oberhaw'' to his left arm. If he displaces this with his Buckler, then wind in between his Sword and the Buckler with a thrust to his throat.
  
If he strikes and thrusts towards you like this, then take his strike away with the long edge of your Rappier (as in illustration), set your Dagger inside on his left arm, and with that shove away from you to your right side. Thus you also take away his Dagger thrust. Then immediately step back with your left leg and yank your Rappier above you and wind a thrust from below to his groin.
+
If he thrusts towards your throat like this, then spring back with your right leg and strike to his right arm. If he displaces this with his Sword, then step in again quickly with your right leg and thrust to his face or chest.
  
If he thrusts low towards you like this, then strike his thrust away with an Unterhaw and immediately follow outward with your right leg and thrust to his body. With that strike back away from him.
+
If he thrusts towards you like this, then spring back with your left leg and strike to his forward set foot. If he displaces this with his Sword, then do a winding thrust to his face and with that yank yourself back.

+
When you go together in this technique hold yourself like this: step in with your right leg and thrust with your Sword to his groin.
  
If he thrusts low towards you like this and you also stand opposite him with your left foot, then drop the crossguard of your Dagger onto his Rappier’s blade and with that take his thrust out to your left side.
+
If he thrusts low towards you like this and you likewise stand with your right leg opposite him, take this away with your Sword to your left side and at the same time thrust your Buckler into his face.<ref name="illustration"/> If he then fires out with his Buckler and takes this away, step in with your left leg and drive out with your Sword and immediately thrust from below to his chest.
  
If he has set aside your low thrust like this, then thrust with your Dagger to his chest (as in illustration).
+
If he thrusts from below towards you like this, then step back with your right leg and displace this with your Sword. Then immediately spring in once again with your right leg to his right side and strike with a ''Zwirchhaw'' to his right arm. If he displaces this with his Sword, then strike with an ''Oberhaw'' to his head. Then immediately yank yourself back from him.  
 
+

[9] '''A High Thrust against a High Cut Taken Away with the Dagger'''
 
  
Present yourself like so in this approach: Step in toward the man with your right leg and cut to his head with a high cut using the long edge. If he cuts at you like this, and you stand with your left leg toward him, then go up with your dagger in the parrying and parry his cut on your left side. In the same moment, step in with your right leg and stab him from above to his face with your rapier. If he thrusts at you from above like this, then go to his rapier blade with your dagger from inside and wind with your cross to your left side. Thus you block him and take his thrust away. In the same moment quickly pull your rapier and stab him in the face or in the chest.
+
When you go together with this technique hold yourself like this: step in with your right leg and thrust with an extended Sword to his face.

[10] '''Thrusts with Rapier and Dagger'''
 
  
Follow like so with this piece in the approach: If you stand with your left foot toward him and he thrusts at you with his rapier to your chest, then take that away with your rapier from your left side on his right side. In the same moment, step in with your right leg and stab him in his nuts with your dagger. If he is thrusting low at you like this, then fall upon his dagger with the cross of your dagger and push it down away from you on your right side and take it away. In the same moment, pull your rapier above to you and quickly stab him in the face. If he thrusts at you like this, then wind your rapier over his on your right side, taking his thrust away. In the same moment, jump to his right side in a triangle and stab him with your rapier to his face or chest.

[11] '''A High and a Low Thrust'''
+
Hold yourself like this when you go together in this technique: step in with your left leg and keep your right well near in the ''Wag'' ("balanced position") such that you have your Buckler against the ground and your sword between your left arm and your chest. Then immediately thrust to his forward set left leg.
  
Conduct yourself like so in this piece with the approach: Step in toward him with your left leg and thrust toward his face or chest with your dagger. If he thrusts at you like this, and you are coming with your left leg forward in the approach, then go up with your rondel in your left hand and take away his dagger thrust on your left side. In that moment, step in there with your right leg and thrust from above to his face or chest with your rapier. If he thrusts at you like this, then go up from below with your rapier to his rapier blade and take it away to your left side. In that moment, turn your rapier to his face over his rondel. If he winds at you like this, then take it away to your left side with your rondel. In that moment, pull your rapier above you and stab down to his nuts. If he thrusts low at you like this, then set him aside with your dagger and quickly cut at his head in the same moment and pull yourself back away from him.
+
If the thrusts low towards you like this, take it away with your Sword blade, then immediately go out with your Sword and thrust from below to his groin.

If he thrusts low towards you like this, then drive with your Buckler up from the ground to displace him. Then immediately yank your Sword to you again and wind behind your head and forward to thrust to his face. If he displaces this with his Sword, then take his Sword away on your left side and strike from above to his head. Then immediately with that yank yourself back from him.

[12] '''A Piece When One Has Been Overtaken'''
+
It happens like this with this technique when you go together: step in with your right leg and do an extended thrust to his forward set right leg.
 +
 
 +
If he thrusts towards you like this, then set your right leg in the triangle and thrust to his throat.<ref name="illustration"/>
  
If you have been overtaken, however it may have happened, and your adversary is working against you with cuts or thrusts and you are wearing your cloak, then conduct yourself like so: Take your cloak in your left hand behind the nape of your neck by your hood and quickly swing it around your left arm and catch his thrust with it, taking it away on your left side. In this moment, swing the cloak in front of his face so that you blind him and stab him in the torso. If he has blinded you and stabbed at you like this, then step back away from him with your right leg and force his rapier down with the long edge of your rapier, thus you take away his thrust. In that moment quickly step back in again with your right foot and cut at his head with your long edge.
+
If he thrusts high towards you like this, then go upwards with your Buckler and with that take his thrust away. At the same time yank your Sword to you and thrust from below to his chest.

 +
Hold yourself like this with this technique when you go together: step in with your left leg and hold your Buckler extended in his face. At the same time yank your sword up high and strike strongly to his head.
  
It happens like this with these fencings in the Sword: stand with your right foot forward and strike him to his right side. Then immediately spring in with your left foot and thrust to his right thigh.
+
If he strikes towards you from above like this and you likewise stand opposite him with your left leg, drive against his strike with your Buckler to take it away. Then immediately cut with your Sword through his face.<ref name="illustration"/>
  
If he has thrust to your forward set thigh like this, then yank it back, spring in quickly again with your left and thrust him with your Sword to his throat with your Buckler in your left hand.  
+
If he cuts towards your face like this, step back with your left leg and set this aside with your long edge. Then immediately spring in once again with your left leg and wind behind your head and forward to thrust to his face.
 
If he then thrusts to you, parry this with your Buckler, at the same time thrust in with your Sword under your left arm to his body and spring with your right foot on his right side. With that thrust into his chest under your Buckler.
 
  
If he thrust to you like this, then spring back with your left foot and parry the thrust. Then immediately thrust to his groin. If he parries this with his Buckler, then pull your thrust back again and with that strike to his right arm.

[2] '''Two Bindings from the Left Side'''
+
[47] '''A High thrust against a low one '''
  
Hold yourself like this with these techniques in the Sword: stand with your left foot forward, your left arm outstretched with your Buckler so that your Sword stands at your right chest with your cross under the point opposite the opponent with your blade on your left arm (shown in illustration). Thus you can thrust to his left side. Then immediately spring in with your right foot and strike to his right arm. If he parries this with his Buckler, then thrust quickly to his groin.
+
Step forward with your left leg, and hold your buckler in your left hand facing straight towards your opponent, and the rapier in your right hand held high above your head with the long edge facing upwards. Then thrust from above towards his face or chest. Then turn your hand so that the long edge faces upwards and do a double thrust to his chest. If your opponent should thrust at your face from above, and you are standing with your left foot forward, with your buckler in your left hand and your rapier in your right, then move your buckler toward his thrust and parry it to your left. If he do a double thrust, then parry his thrust with the short edge, step forward with your right foot and thrust at his chest with turned hand so that the long edge faces up. Should your opponent do this, then step back with your left foot and with a double cut from below, and thus you have countered your opponent's attack.

If he thrusts towards you like this and you stand with your left foot forward, then spring back with both feet together and set his thrust aside with your Buckler. Then immediately spring in quickly with your right foot against his right side with another thrust. If he parries this with his Sword, then strike him quickly to his forward set leg.

[48] '''Two bindings with the sword'''
  
If he strikes like this to your foot, then yank it back and thrust immediately to his face.
+
Stand with your left foot forward and strike a hard strike from above toward your opponent's head with the long edge. If he does this to you, and you are standing with your left foot forward, thne turn your long edge forward and bind at the same time in the middle of his blade, pull back the blade above and thrust into his belly or groin. If your opponent should do this to you, then remove his thrust to your left with your buckler. If he then tries to thrust from below then lay your buckler over his sword and parry to your left. Then step with your right foot on your opponent's left side and thrust with a hanging point to his left side. If he sees this, then strike away his thrust with your buckler and step back with your left foot, that way his strike and his thrust too short to be able to hurt you.

[3] '''An Upper Abnemen (Take Away/Defense) with the Buckler'''
+
[49] '''A strike from above and below'''
  
It happens like this with these techniques in the Sword: stand with your right foot forward, your blade on your left shoulder, the Buckler in your left hand (as in illustration). Then immediately spring in with your left foot and strike him from below inward to his right arm. If he parries this, then thrust him with your Sword behind your head in towards his face.
+
Step forward with your left foot and raise the sword with your rihgt hand over your head for a strike from above, while holding your buckler outstretched before you somewhat pointing downward. From there, strike to your opponent's head. If your opponent does this, then move your buckler to the strike as you step forward with your right foot, and strike your opponent in the left leg. If he strikes to your forward left leg, however, then step back with your right foot, and you will evade the strike, and you can thrust him in the belly with a double thrust. If your opponent tries to thrust at you in the same manner, then parry with a thwart strike. If your opponent parries thus, then strike a double cross-strike to his belly and thrust him in the chest with a hanging point. Then move away from him with double strikes.  
 
+
|  
If he thrusts you like this to your face and you stand with your left foot forward, parry this with your Buckler in your left hand, then immediately spring with your left leg well to his left side and thrust to his right. Should he perceive the thrust and parry it, then strike his forward set leg and with that spring back and wind the point double to his face.

[4] '''A Throw in the Sword'''
+
[50] '''Two strikes from below both left sides '''
  
It happens like this in this technique: spring in with both feet and thrust to his face or chest. If he parries this with his Buckler, then set your left leg to the rear and strike to his left arm. Then immediately spring in with your left foot and thrust to his right side. If he sets this aside with his Buckler, then strike inward from below to his left arm. Then immediately follow outward with your right leg and wind the thrust to his face or chest.
+
Step forward with your left foot and strike from above with your sword and make sure to wound your opponent's neck. If he does this, then parry with the buckler you are holding in your left hand and strike him in the head with your sword. If your opponent should strike toward your head on the other hand, then parry with your buckler and strike him in the leg. If he does the same, then pull back the sword from his buckler and strike a lower thwart strike inward, so that you bind with his sword and parry thus on your right side. Then you thrust him in the belly or groin. If he tries to do this to you, then parry with the short edge and move away from him with cross strikes and double thrusts.  
 
+
|  
If he fires the thrust and strike at you like this, then parry him with your Buckler and immediately spring in with your right foot and thrust him powerfully under your left arm to his right side. Should he perceive this thrust, strike his Sword away with an Oberhaw, immediately let your Sword fall, step with your left leg between both of his legs, and grab with your right hand over and around his left shoulder and with your left under his right shoulder and also around his body (shown in illustration). Thus you have him in the Wag and can throw him wherever you want.

When you go together hold yourself like this in this technique:  step in with your left leg and thrust under and through with your Sword to his left shoulder, with your Buckler under your right arm (as in illustration).
+
Step forward with your right foot and hold your sword by your right breast with the point toward the opponent and your buckler in front of your face, and when your opponent steps forward with the left foot and strikes from above to your head as he takes a step forward with his right foot, you move your buckler forward and parry it to your left, as you step forward with your left foot and thrust him in the belly or groin. If your opponent does this, then push the thrust down to your right with your buckler as you step back with your right foot and do cross strikes and double thrusts.

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

|  
If he thrusts towards you like this, then take this away with your Buckler from above down towards the ground. Then immediately step in with your left leg and thrust him again from below to his left side.

[6] '''An Abnemen from Both Sides'''
+
[53] '''How to take the opponent's buckler'''
  
Hold yourself like this when you come together in this technique: step in with your left leg and thrust with your Sword to his face.
+
Stand with your right foot forward and step forward left and thrust to his chest, and then cut to his head. If he does this to you, while you are standing with your right foot forward, then grip your sword with your left hand in the middle of the blade together with your buckler, step forward and parry his attack on the buckler. Then you raise your buckler and sword to parry and step forward with your left foot as fast as you can, and grab hold on the inside of the opponent's buckler with your right hand and twist it out of his hand. Then you throw it into his face, steb back and take your sword in your right hand and thrust him in the face or chest. If he does the same to you on the other hand, then raise up your left arm to protect your face and do a cross cut from below to counter his thrust. And if you instead of the above mentioned thrust from above out of a cross cut from above you will also counter his buckler throw and his thrust.  
 
+
|  
If he thrusts to your face like this and you stand with your right foot opposite him, then take this away with your Buckler on your left side and at the same time thrust him with your sword extended to his face (as in illustration). If he likewise takes this away with his Buckler, then step in with your left leg and thrust high over his Buckler with an extended arm to his face such that the short edge is directed downwards.

[7] '''A Chest Thrust with an Abnemen'''
+
[54] '''The second way of taking the opponent's buckler along with a throw'''
  
It happens like this when you come for the opponent in this technique: stand with your right foot forward and do an extended thrust to his chest.
+
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 he then thrusts towards you like this and you likewise stand with your right foot opposite him, then drop your Buckler downward and displace his thrust with that and at the same time snap from below to thrust to his chest such that your long edge is turned upwards. If he displaces this with his Buckler, then spring with your left foot in front of his right and strike his right arm.

| {{section|page:Cod.10826 147v.png|German|lbl=147v}}
 
+
| {{paget|page:Cod.icon. 393 II|080v|jpg}}
If he strikes you like this, then step with your left leg in the triangle and take it away with your Buckler. Then immediately yank your Sword towards you and thrust from below to his chest.
+
| {{section|page:Cod.10826 147v.png|Latin|lbl=147v}}
 
 
If he thrust towards you from below like this, then drop onto his sword with your Sword and Buckler so that this is taken away. Then immediately wind behind your head and forward to thrust to his face. With that yank yourself away from him to the rear.

[8] '''To Take the Sword'''
+
[55] '''An armlock'''
  
Note this technique when you go together and the opponent has you in the bind: stand with your left foot forward and he stands opposite you with his right. Hold your Sword to your Buckler in your left hand and catch his sword blade well forward near the point with your right. With that snatch it out of his hand (as in illustration.
+
Step forward with your left foot, holding your sword with the point directed at the opponent on your right side and your buckler in front of your left breast. Then step forward with your right foot and thrust to your opponent's face or chest. If your opponent attacks you in this manner, and you are standing with your right foot forward, then parry his thrust on your buckler, and step forward with your left foot on the inside of his right and cut him in the head. If your opponent tries to cut you in this manner, then hold your buckler in front of your face to parry and cut him swiftly in his face. Should he do this, then remove his cut and step close to him. Lift your buckler and move your left arm over the outside of his right arm and around, så that his right hand that he is holding his sword with ends up behind your armpit. Fasten the buckler you are holding in your left hand firmly under his right arm and put your left leg on the outside of the back of his right knee, turn you your left, and you will throw him backwards. If this were to happen to you, in that case, make sure to parry his cuts and thrusts with your buckler.  
 
+
|  
If he has grabbed your sword out of your hand like this, then step in with your left leg and catch his sword that is in his left hand and thrust your buckler high onto his left arm so that he must release his sword. If he then strikes at you with pommel and cross, drive high with your Buckler and displace this. Then step back twice as you take your sword in your hand again. If he then travels after you, quickly go in again onto his blade and wind your point to his face.

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

[1] '''A parry against a death strike with the poleaxe'''
  
It happens like this with this technique when you go together: step in with your left leg and strike low to his left leg such that you have your Buckler in your left hand crosswise over your right.
+
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.  
 
 
If he strikes like this to your forward leg, then thrust to his left so that you displace him and immediately thrust with your left foot to his left as you stab him in the face with the spike of your Buckler (as in illustration).
 
  
If he stabs you like this, displace it with your Buckler and at the same time step back with your left leg as you yank your sword back and then thrust to his side.

[2] '''A death strike against a thrust to the chest'''
  
It happens like this when you go together in this technique: stand with your right foot forward and thrust from your left side to his right chest with a winding thrust.
+
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.  
  
If he thrusts towards you like this and you stand with your right foot forward, then take your Sword to your Buckler in your left hand and immediately grab his sword blade with your right hand (as in illustration).
+
| {{paget|page:MS Dresd.C.94|164v|png}}

| {{section|page:Cod.10826 149v.png|German|lbl=149v}}
If he has grabbed your sword like this, then set your left hand with your Buckler over your right and with that step back with your right leg. Thus he must release your sword to you.  Then immediately travel after him and thrust to his face.

If he travels after you like this and thrusts to your face, displace this with your Buckler and at the same time step back with your right leg and then thrust from below to his chest.  If he displaces this, then strike from above with a winding strike to his head. With that yank yourself back away from him.

[3] '''Two turn-ins/break-ins with the poleaxe'''
  
Hold yourself like this when you go together with this technique: step in with your right leg and hold the Buckler extended over your Sword with the point opposite the opponent.  
+
In this device you do thus: step forward with your right foot and hold your poleaxe in good defence turned toward the opponent. Then you step forward with your left foot and strike a death strike to his head with the axe. If your opponent comes at you in the same manner, and you are holding the poleaxe in both hands then grab the upper end of the shaft with your right and the lower with the left, step forward with your right foot and remove his strike to the left with the shaft. Then you step forward with your left foot and direct the back end over both arms, switch grips, and pull your opponent's right hand toward you (above) with the axe blade, and below, with his left hand with your left arm. If your opponent were to do this, then let go with your right hand, grab his left shoulder and push him away from you. Should he do this on the other hand, then you step back with your left foot and direct a thrust with the front point into his chest, and step back from him in good defense.  
 
If he then likewise is in the bind with you and you stand with your right leg opposite him, hold your Sword together with the Buckler in your left hand during the bind and then immediately grab his sword blade with your right hand and yank towards yourself (as in illustration).
 
  
If he holds your Sword like this and yanks you towards him, then grab your blade near the hilt with your left hand and yank strongly towards you. Thus he must release your sword. Then immediately thrust quickly from below to his groin. If he displaces this with his sword, step outward with your left leg and thrust with the spike of your Buckler to his face.

[4] '''A twisting in and a pull'''
  
Hold yourself like this when you go together: step in with your left leg and do a low extended thrust to his groin such that you have your Buckler in your left hand near your hilt.
+
In this device you do thus: step forward with your right foot and hold your poleaxe in good defence turned toward the opponent. Then you step forward with your left foot and strike a death strike to his head with the axe. If your opponent comes at you in the same manner, and you are holding the poleaxe in both hands then grab the upper end of the shaft with your right and the lower with the left, step forward with your right foot and remove his strike to the left with the shaft. Then you step forward with your left foot and direct the back end over both arms, switch grips, and pull your opponent's right hand toward you (above) with the axe blade, and below, with his left hand with your left arm. If your opponent were to do this, then let go with your right hand, grab his left shoulder and push him away from you. Should he do this on the other hand, then you step back with your left foot and direct a thrust with the front point into his chest, and step back from him in good defense.  
  
If he has stepped in towards you like this and thrusts to your groin, then displace this with your Sword and immediately step outside of his right leg (should be left) with your right leg, hold your Sword together with your Buckler in your left hand, and immediately grab over both of this arms with your right hand and pull towards you (as in illustration).

If he is grabbing over you like this, then hold your Buckler to your Sword in your right hand and immediately set your left hand under his right shoulder and throw the Hacken (leg hook) with your right foot (should be left) around his right and with that shove him away from you from above. Thus you throw him backwards.

[5] '''A thrust to the groin against a turning in'''
  
It happens like this with this technique: step in with your left leg and bind on his sword blade. He then likewise stands with his left foot opposite you and binds similarly on your blade. Then hold your Sword together with your Buckler in your left hand and immediately drop your right hand onto his beard.
+
this device is performed thus: stand with the left foot forward and hold the axe raised over in front of your face with the right hand on the middle of the shaft and the left on the back end. Then, step forward with the right foot and thrust your opponent in the groin. If he does this to you, and you are standing with your right foot forward, holding your axe before your face with both hands, right hand on the back end and the left by the blade, then parry to your left with the back end and strike hom in the head with the blade. If he parries on the shaft between his hands, you thrust the back end into his face between his both arms. Should he parry this as well, you step back with your left foot and strike him in the right arm with the blade. Then you step away from him while turning the axe around.  
  
If he has grabbed you like this and holds you by your beard and intends to drop his left hand over his right so that he can snatch your beard downward powerfully, then drop your left hand on his right arm and wind his hand off of your beard (as in illustration). Then strike to his head.

[6] '''Two pulls followed by a throw'''
  
It happens like this when you go together with this technique: step in with your right leg and do an extended thrust high to his face.
+
If you want to be the victor in this device, do as follows: stand with your right foot forward and raise the axe up in front of your face on your left side, and holding the right hand on the back end and the left on the middle of the blade. Then you step forward with your left foot and strike him in the head with the blade. Should he parry between his hands on the shaft, then move down your front end as well as the blade into the back of his right knee, and pull toward you. If he should do this, however, then put your axe blade around his neck, and pull toward you, that way he cannot hurt you. If your opponent pulls you toward him in the same manner, then take a triangle step and parry his strike between both hands on your shaft, and push up, that way you will weaken him above. Then, let go of the axe with your left hand and grab hold of his right leg and lift it up, and you will throw him backwards.  
  
If he thrusts towards you like this and you stand with your left foot opposite him, then drive against both of his hands with your Buckler and shove his Sword and Buckler away from you to your left side. At the same time thrust with your sword to his front leg (as in illustration).

[7] '''A breaking in with the axe'''
  
If he thrusts like this to your face, then set this aside with your Buckler and thrust from below to his chest.
+
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.  
  
If he thrusts towards you from below like this, then drop your Buckler on his Sword to displace him and thrust him again from below to his groin. Then immediately yank yourself back away from him with a Zwirchhaw.

[8] '''A death strike against a pull'''
  
When you go together hold yourself like this in this technique: step in with your right leg and thrust from below to his chest.
+
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.  
  
If you then stand with your left foot opposite him and he thrusts towards you like this, then drop your Buckler over both of his arms from above and with that force his Sword and Buckler downward towards the ground. At the same time cut with the short edge through his neck (as in illustration).

[9] '''A strike from above against a thrust'''
  
If he thrusts from below towards you like this, drop your Buckler onto his Sword and with that take his thrust away and then cut through his right arm.
+
When stepping toward each other, stand with your left foot forward and hold your axe raised before your face with both hands. Then step forward with your right foot and strike your opponent in the head with the axe blade. If your opponent comes at you thus, and you are standing with your left foot forward, holding the axe with the left hand on the front end facing the opponent, and the right hand the back end, then parry his strike between your hands on the shaft, and thrust him in the neck with your front end. If your opponent does this, then remove his thrust with the front end to your right, and thrust him over his left arm into his face. If he does this, then parry with the axe blade, step forward with the right foot and thrust him in the chest with the front end between his arms, and move away from him while turning the axe around.  
  
If he intends to cut you like this, then set this aside at your left side and immediately yank yourself back away from him with a Creizhaw (crossing strike).

It happens like this with this technique when you go together: step in with your right leg and thrust low to his left leg.
+
In this device you stand with your right foot forward, right hand holding your back end pointing toward your opponent and left hand by the axe blade, and from here you step forward with your left foot, and thrust your opponent in the ned with the back end between his arms. If he comes at you thus, and you are standing with your feet together then parry his thrust with the back end you your right. Then step forward with your left foot and thrust your opponent in the face with the back end between his arms. If he parries, then swiftly hit him as hard as you can in the head with the axe blade. If he attacks your head in this manner, then parry his strike between your hands on the shaft. Then press his axe down with your axe blade and thrust him with the front end in the face, and then move away from him.  
 
+
If you then stand like this with the left leg opposite him and he thrusts afterwards, drop your Sword on his blade and push downward so that you displace his thrust (as in illustration).

If he thrusts towards you like this, then spring back with your left leg and strike to his forward set foot. If he displaces this with his Sword, then do a winding thrust to his face and with that yank yourself back.

<p>In this device you step forward with your left foot and hold your spear and the shield together in your left hand and the sword in the right, and from there you thrust at your opponent's throat with the spearpoint. If he does this, on the other hand, and you, just as him, are standing with your left foot forward, with the shield and sword in your left hand and the spear in your right, you parry his thrust with the pommel of your sword, and then you thrust at his face with your spear. If he attacks you with a thrust in the same manner, you raise the shield and parry thus. But if he parries with his shield, you direct your thrust into his visor. Furthermore, should he do the same thing, you parry his attack to your right with your shield, drop your spear, step forward with your right foot, grab the sword with your right hand, and strike him in his right elbow and step away from him.</p>

Of he attacks you below in this manner, and you are also standing with your left foot forward, holding your spear in both hands on your right side, then parry his thrust on the shield, throw it and thrust him in the throat with your spear point. If he thrusts at you in the same way, and you have thrown away your shield as well, then step back with your left foot and remove his thrust with the front end of your spear. Then you step forward again with your left foot and aim a thrust at his visor. If he attacks you in the same manner, then parry with your spear, drop it, step back with your left foot and draw your sword, grab it with both hands and step forward with your left foot and thrust him in the neck with the tip. If he parries this as well, then grab hold with both hands on the middle of the blade and strike him in the head with cross and pommel, and then you step away from him.</p>

If he thrusts towards you like this and you stand with your right foot opposite him, then take this away with your Buckler to your left side (as in illustration). At the same time yank your Sword to you and then thrust through below his Buckler to his left side. If he displaces this with his Buckler, then spring with your left foot well to his right side and thrust to his face.
+
<p>If you wish to win the victory in this device, then you must do as follows: step forward with your left foot and hold the spear with both hands on your right side, and from there you step forward with your right foot and thrust the opponent in the throat with your spear. If your opponent does this, on the other hand, then parry with the front end of your spear on your left side. Then step forward with your right foot and thrust him in the groin. If he attacks you this way, then parry with the spear, drop the spear and shield step back with the right foot. If he steps back like this, then drop your spear and shield as well, and grab his shield with both hands. If he has taken your shield in this manner, then draw your sword, step forward with your right foot again and turn a thrust into your opponent's visor. Should he parry with your shield that he has taken from you then change grips and take hold with both hands on the blade and strike him in the head with cross and pommel, turn the sword around and step away from him.</p>

If he thrusts towards your face like this, then displace this with your long edge, immediately step with your right leg double to his right side and strike to his right arm. If he displaces your strike, then yank your Sword to you and thrust to his face. With that yank yourself back away from him.

Hold yourself like this when you go together in this technique: step in with your left leg and keep your right well near in the Wag (balanced position) such that you have your Buckler against the ground and your sword between your left arm and your chest. Then immediately thrust to his forward set left leg.
+
<p>Step forward with your left foot, when entering before your opponent, and hold the spear on the middle of the blade on your right side in your right hand and have your shield hanging over your chest, and from here you thrust to your opponent's visor. If your opponent were to do this on the other hand, and you are standing with your left foot forward, holding your spear on your at chest level on your right side with both hands then parry with the spear and thrust him in the throat with the spear. When you have done this, you drop both shield and spear, draw your sword and thrust him in the groin. If he is doing this to you, then parry his thrust on the middle of your blade between your hands, step forward with your right foot and thrust him in the visor. If he parries on the middle of his sword between his hands, then you hit him with the cross and pommel in his forward leg, and move back from him.</p>

If he thrusts towards you like this, then set your right leg in the triangle and thrust to his throat (as in illustration).

<p>If it were to happen that a mounted opponent rides toward you in order to harm you, then put the back end of the pike in the ground and point the front end toward the opponent. Above all, make sure to be able to use the pike on both sides, so that if your mounted opponent comes at you wielding a lance you can defend yourself against him on both sides. When he engages you, you strike away his lance from your right to your left side. If he continues forward you direct you pike into his face, and he will throw himself off the saddle. Then you can draw your rapier and do whatever you wish to him.</p>

<p>This is what you do against the rider: Step forward with your left foot and hold the pike with both hands on your right side, with the point toward the opponent, and from here you continue forward with your right foot and turn the point into his face. If you, being the rider, see the opponent doing this to you, then fasten the reins in the hook by the belt, and remove the lance from the arret and hold it across(before you) with both hands, and remove the opponent's thrust thus between both your hands to your left, and then you insert the lance again into the arret, i.e. the lance rest, a hook being there to prevent the lance from going backwards under your arm, and then you engage your opponent at full speed and run him down.</p>

<p>This is how you use the pike in this device: If you see the rider coming at you, and you are on foot, then stand with your left foot forward and hold the pike with the left hand by the chest in free position, and with the right hand on the back end, point toward the opponent. If he then attacks you with his lance, then turn the pike from your left side to his right so that you remove his lance. Then you take a step forward with the right foot and thrust forcefully with the pike into his face. Then, make sure that the back end of the pike is in the ground for good defence, so that the rider cannot hurt you in any way.</p>

<p>This is how you defend yourself with your pike against an attacking rider: Step forward with your left foot and hold your pike with the point aimed toward the opponent for a thrust. If your opponent on foot does this towards you, you spur your horse toward him and touch his lance by the front part, and remove his thrust to your right, and simultaneously as you parry, you turn the horse toward the opponent, and put his pike into your right armpit, drop the lance out of the lance rest, spur the horse toward the opponent, draw your sword and run him through with it.</p>

<p>If you wish to obtain the victory in this device, you must do as follows: If a rider rides at you with his lance, you step forward with your left foot and hold the halberd with the axe head toward him, and if he attacks with his lance, you hook the lance with your halberd and raise it, and you have averted his thrust. Then you thrust with the point into his face as hard as you can. If a footman does this to you, being the rider, and you cannot use your lance, you throw it out of your lance rest and turn the horse to the left, draw your sword and strike at his halberd, and you have parried his attack thus. Then you spur your horse toward him and run him through with the sword.</p>

Step forward with your left leg, and hold your buckler in your left hand facing straight towards your opponent, and the rapier in your right hand held high above your head with the long edge facing upwards. Then thrust from above towards his face or chest. Then turn your hand so that the long edge faces upwards and do a double thrust to his chest. If your opponent should thrust at your face from above, and you are standing with your left foot forward, with your buckler in your left hand and your rapier in your right, then move your buckler toward his thrust and parry it to your left. If he do a double thrust, then parry his thrust with the short edge, step forward with your right foot and thrust at his chest with turned hand so that the long edge faces up. Should your opponent do this, then step back with your left foot and with a double cut from below, and thus you have countered your opponent's attack.

<p>This is how you use the halberd in this device against a horseman with a lance: If the rider comes at you with his lance, then step with your left foot forward toward the opponent's right side and strike at the front end of his lance with your halberd from your left side to his right, and you have averted his attack. If you then press down his lance, you will force the rider to fall to the ground struck backwards, and he cannot harm you anymore. If you do this, make sure to press down the lance swiftly with the halberd, so that he strikes himself off the saddle. Then you may fight against him however you want.</p>

Stand with your left foot forward and strike a hard strike from above toward your opponent's head with the long edge. If he does this to you, and you are standing with your left foot forward, thne turn your long edge forward and bind at the same time in the middle of his blade, pull back the blade above and thrust into his belly or groin. If your opponent should do this to you, then remove his thrust to your left with your buckler. If he then tries to thrust from below then lay your buckler over his sword and parry to your left. Then step with your right foot on your opponent's left side and thrust with a hanging point to his left side. If he sees this, then strike away his thrust with your buckler and step back with your left foot, that way his strike and his thrust too short to be able to hurt you.

<p>In this device you do as follows: Hold your lance over your right leg and ride towards your opponent, and put the lance in the arret. If you are on foot and standing with your left leg forward, holding your halberd for a strike from above while waiting for your opponent, and when he then gets close, you direct a strike from your left side to his right against his lance and press it down hard, and if you then step with your right foot in triangle the rider will break his lance. If he tries to draw his sword you run toward him with two steps and place the halberd head around his neck and pull to you, and you will throw him off the horse.</p>

Step forward with your left foot and raise the sword with your rihgt hand over your head for a strike from above, while holding your buckler outstretched before you somewhat pointing downward. From there, strike to your opponent's head. If your opponent does this, then move your buckler to the strike as you step forward with your right foot, and strike your opponent in the left leg. If he strikes to your forward left leg, however, then step back with your right foot, and you will evade the strike, and you can thrust him in the belly with a double thrust. If your opponent tries to thrust at you in the same manner, then parry with a thwart strike. If your opponent parries thus, then strike a double cross-strike to his belly and thrust him in the chest with a hanging point. Then move away from him with double strikes.  
+
<p>When riding toward your opponent, do as follows: Hold the spear extended over your right leg in your right hand, and when you are about to attack, you insert the spear in the arret, and ride toward him thus. If your opponent comes at you in said manner, then step forward with your left foot and hold your halberd in a strike from above, and strike his spear away from left to your right side, and you have averted his attack. Then you take two steps toward him and hook him in the left side of his neck with the head of the halberd and pull forcefully to you, and you will throw the rider off his horse.</p>

| <p>[10] '''A skirmish where the rider is using a sword against a foot-soldier armed with rapier and buckler.'''</p>
  
Step forward with your left foot and strike from above with your sword and make sure to wound your opponent's neck. If he does this, then parry with the buckler you are holding in your left hand and strike him in the head with your sword. If your opponent should strike toward your head on the other hand, then parry with your buckler and strike him in the leg. If he does the same, then pull back the sword from his buckler and strike a lower thwart strike inward, so that you bind with his sword and parry thus on your right side. Then you thrust him in the belly or groin. If he tries to do this to you, then parry with the short edge and move away from him with cross strikes and double thrusts.  
+
<p>In this engagement with an enemy on foot you do as follows: If you see the foot soldier coming against you, then ride toward him in full speed and drawn sword, and when you get close to him you strike him in the head from your right side to his left. If the rider comes at you in this manner, then step forward with your left foot and draw your rapier, and hold up the buckler in front of your face with your left hand and remove his strike thus. Then you thrust with your rapier into the chest of the horse, and you will fell it, and you may do whatever you wish with the opponent.</p>

 +
 
 +
<p>This is how you perform this device with rapier and buckler: When the rider comes at you, you step forward with your left foot and quickly draw your rapier with your right hand and grab the buckler with your left for defence, and if the opponent is armed with a sword and strikes at you with it, then raise the buckler with the left hand and remove his strike thus. Then you strike the horse over both its shins, and you will fell it to the ground. Then you can fight however you wish against your opponent.</p>

Step forward with your right foot and hold your sword by your right breast with the point toward the opponent and your buckler in front of your face, and when your opponent steps forward with the left foot and strikes from above to your head as he takes a step forward with his right foot, you move your buckler forward and parry it to your left, as you step forward with your left foot and thrust him in the belly or groin. If your opponent does this, then push the thrust down to your right with your buckler as you step back with your right foot and do cross strikes and double thrusts.  
+
<p>If you are mounted and you see your opponent footman using rapier, then draw your sword as well, and ride toward him and strike toward his head. If your opponent does this very thing, you lift up your rapier and remove his strike to the left with the long edge. Then you step forward as fast a you can with to his right side, and grab hold with your left hand in his right hand and push him away in this manner, and thus he will not be able to fight against you. Then you pierce his neck with your rapier as hard as you can, and in this manner the horseman will fall.</p>

| <p>[13] '''Yet another way of throwing the rider to the ground.'''</p>
  
Step forward with your left foot and hold your sword in your right hand and your buckler in your left. Then step forward with your left foot and try to thrust your opponent in his right armpit. If he tries to do thus to you, as you are standing with your left foot forward, holding your sword in your right hand, then tip your point down slightly toward your opponent, and hold your buckler in your left hand over your chest as you step forward with your right foot and put it on the outside of your opponent's right and thus you parry his thrust with a hangning point from below to your right. Immediately then pull your opponent's hand with the hilt and cross of your sword just behind his own pommel, while you with the long edge lying on your opponent's neck, pull back your pommel and hilt as hard as you can, and you will slice his neck. But if he tries to do this, then put your left foot on his right side and raise your buckler to his left side, turn your sword so that your cross is on the outside of your opponent's arm and strike it back, thus you will evade his attack.
+
<p>If you are on horse, and you see the footman has armed himself with rapier and buckler, then spur your horse and ride swiftly toward him with sword drawn and the point aimed toward the opponent's face or chest. If you see your opponent ride at you in this manner, then remove his thrust with the long edge to your left and drop both rapier and buckler and run toward the opponent, grab hold with the left hand on the outside of his right arm, and the inside of his elbow, and pull down, and at the same time you grab hold with your right hand in the left side of his neck, and you will throw him to the ground without risk of injury.</p>

| <p>[14] '''Another way of throwing the horseman.'''</p>
  
Stand with your right foot forward and step forward left and thrust to his chest, and then cut to his head. If he does this to you, while you are standing with your right foot forward, then grip your sword with your left hand in the middle of the blade together with your buckler, step forward and parry his attack on the buckler. Then you raise your buckler and sword to parry and step forward with your left foot as fast as you can, and grab hold on the inside of the opponent's buckler with your right hand and twist it out of his hand. Then you throw it into his face, steb back and take your sword in your right hand and thrust him in the face or chest. If he does the same to you on the other hand, then raise up your left arm to protect your face and do a cross cut from below to counter his thrust. And if you instead of the above mentioned thrust from above out of a cross cut from above you will also counter his buckler throw and his thrust.  
+
<p>This is how you perform this device: If the rider comes at you, then stand with your right foot forward and draw your rapier quickly. If he then draws his sword and is wishes to run you through with his point, then move your rapier up to his sword and remove his attack on his right side. Then make sure to get close to the opponent, and grab hold below in his right leg, and raise it up to his left side. And thrust him in the face with the rapier and he must wall to the ground.</p>

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

<p>Make sure in the very beginning to insert the lance into the lance rest, and when you ride toward him, you lower the point.

Then you continue forward to his right side and lift up his lance with the cross on your sword high over his shoulder and strike the pommel into his visor. When you have done this, you continue forward past his right side.</p>

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

Then make sure to pull up the sword again and thrust with the point, or hit him with the pommel in the face.</p>

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

<p>When your opponent has inserted his lance into the lance rest, then put your reins into the lower armour hook and hold the lance across before you, so that the point faces upward and the thicker end down on your right, and move your lance point to the outside of the opponent's lance on his right side, and if you then move his lance with your left side to his left, you have averted his thrust and he is forced to drop his lance. If you then ride on, and make sure to lift up the lance with both arms in the air and turn in the point into the opponent and thrust him in the face or armpit. If your opponent comes at you in this manner, then remove his thrust with the right arm on the outside, that way his thrust is in vain.</p>

<p>When you both have inserted your lances into the lance rests, and are about to ride toward each other, to attack each other, and you wish to trick your opponent with said technique, then turn your horse and pull the lance out of the lance rest, and pretend to flee, and pay attention to whether he pursues you with his lance in the lance rest. Then, when you see him coming toward you, you wait a little while until he comes close to you, move the lance over your right shoulder so that the point ends up between the opponent's horse's front legs, and bind with the outside of his lance. Then you hold the lance firmly with your right hand in the handle and lift the arm, as well as the lance, and you will have thwarted your opponent's thrust as well as tripped his horse. If you then turn from your right to left so that you again is facing your opponent, you may fight against him however you want.</p>

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

<p>This is how you perform this device: Insert the lance into the lance rest, and ride toward the opponent and thrust him in the chest. If your opponent is doing this to you, then ride toward him as well, and change through with your lance from your right side and remove his lance hard, and thrust him in the visor. If he does this however, then drop the reins with the left hand in the engagement, and remove his lance from your left to your right, and you will get away without injuries.</p>

<p>Put the reins in the lower armour hook, and attack your opponent with a thrust with the lance. If he does this on the other hand, and you have not had the time to insert the lance into the lance rest, before he comes charging at you, then ride in on his right side and hold the lance across before you with the point to the ground on your left side, and as you ride forward, you deflect his thrust to your right with the lance base, and then you drop the reins with the left hand and grab hold of the lance with it, lift up the lance and thrust with the point into the opponent's visor.</p>

[2]'''A death strike against a thrust to the chest'''
 
  
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.

<p>This is how you perform this device: Insert the lance into the lance rest and charge your opponent and thrust him with the lance in the chest. If the opponent does this, and you are being taken by surprise, so that you have not had time to insert the lance into the lance rest, then ride toward his right side and hold your lance across before you with the point to the ground on your left side, and hold your reins and the lance together, and catch the opponent's thrust with the lance base to your right as you spur the horse. Then you let go of the lance with the right hand and grab hold underneath in the middle of the opponent's lance, and ride past him, and you will pull his lance out of the lance rest over his right shoulder.</p>

<p>In this fight you do as follows: When you have inserted the lance into the lance rest, then charge ahead with force to your opponent and aim a thrust to the upper part of his chest. If your opponent charges at you in this way, and you had not had the time to insert your lance into the lance rest, then ride toward him anyway, and hold the lance across the horse and as you charge at him you parry with the lance base from your left to your right as hard as you can.Thus the opponent will be forced to drop his lance. Then you put the reins in the lower hook in the belt of your armour, raise the lance over your head and grab hold of the front end of the lance with the right hand and with the left on the back end over your head and in this way turn in the lance base in his neck, and if you continue charging forward you will throw him out of the saddle.</p>

If your opponent comes at you in this manner, then ride toward him as well, and put the reins into the lower hook, and hold the lance across the horse before you, with the right hand on the handle in front(facing forward) and the left hand in the back and when charging you parry his thrust from your right side to his with the lance base, and thrust it into the face or neck of the opponent. If your opponent does this to you, you let the lance drop, and grab hold of the handle of the opponent's lance with your right hand and remove his thrust thus. Then, if you continue forward you can throw him out of the saddle as well has he can throw you.</p>

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

Then you let go of the sword with your left and continue forward with your right so that you pull his left hand that is holding the sword from your right side to his left, and in this manner you can lock his sword, and his attack is rendered useless. But if your opponent has locked you in the same way, you let go of the hilt with your right hand and grab hold firmly in the inside of his arm and ride past him, and you will get free.</p>

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

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

| <p>[36] '''Wrath strike against the side guard.'''</p>
 +
<p>In this fight you do as follows: Attack your opponent quickly with your sword drawn in side position, point directed at the opponent. If he comes at you in the same manner, then ride toward him as well, holding your sword in the right hand raised over your head. When your opponent then raises his sword to strike a wrath strike toward your head, or to strike you in the head with the pommel, you raise the sword from the side guard and pay attention to the three open parts on the opponent that you can reach with your point, which are the right armpit, the opening in the armour on his right elbow, and lastly the visor. When you ride past him you can do whatever you wish against him.</p>

<p>In this device, you attack your opponent with the sword and direct a thrust to his visor. If your opponent attacks you in the same way, by thrusting towards your visor, then raise the sword and bind with his, and lift it up. That way you have parried his attack, and at the same time you may cut or thrust him in the neck of visor. Of your opponent attacks you with cuts or thrusts in the same manner, you parry while riding past him. Then you turn your horse around and strike or thrust him in the back of his neck. Then you ride away.</p>

[7]'''A breaking in with the axe'''
 
  
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.

<p>When riding toward each other with drawn swords, and you desire to emerge victorious in this battle, holding your sword in your sword in your right hand, then strike toward your opponent's head. If your opponent does this, you raise the sword and parry with the long edge hanging forward in your left side. Then you move your pommel over the opponent's right hand, lean forward and pull toward you as hard as you can, put the reins in the lower hook by the belt, and grab with your left hand in your pommel, and if you then lift up firmly on your left side, then you will twist his sword away and break his arm as well. Then you ride past him and strike or thrust to his visor.</p>

<p>When you both charge at each other with swords drawn, and your opponent strikes from above toward your head, then ride forward to his right side and turn up the long edge against his strike and parry with the cross. When you have come close you turn up the hilt with the pommel first over his sword and move the pommel over his right hand so that it comes under his pommel. If you then press down to your left when riding past him, putting your reins into the lower armour hook, you may grab his chin with your left hand and pull him away, so that he falls backwards when you ride past him. If you notice this happen to you, then put your reins into the belt hook, and grab hold with both hands on the inside of his arm, and push away hard, and you will get away. </p>

[8]'''A death strike against a pull'''
 
  
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.

[9]'''A strike from above against a thrust'''
 
When stepping toward each other, stand with your left foot forward and hold your axe raised before your face with both hands. Then step forward with your right foot and strike your opponent in the head with the axe blade. If your opponent comes at you thus, and you are standing with your left foot forward, holding the axe with the left hand on the front end facing the opponent, and the right hand the back end, then parry his strike between your hands on the shaft, and thrust him in the neck with your front end. If your opponent does this, then remove his thrust with the front end to your right, and thrust him over his left arm into his face. If he does this, then parry with the axe blade, step forward with the right foot and thrust him in the chest with the front end between his arms, and move away from him while turning the axe around.

<p>If you wish to emerge victorious in this battle, then pull out your sword and ride toward the opponent, and strike from above to his head or turn the pommel into his visor. If your opponent does this on the other hand, then ride toward him as well, but do not draw your sword, but instead grab hold of the mouthpiece on the opponent's horse as you may see on the picture and lift up on your right side. If the horse is about to rear forcefully, then quickly ride close to him and lift up the mouthpiece, and both the horse and the opponent will fall over at the same time. But if the horse is not as incline to rear up on its hind legs, then do not use this technique, as it is much too risky. Instead you grab hold underneath on his right arm with your right hand and you will get away from the opponent safe from harm.</p>

| <p>[51] '''How to counter the previous device.'''</p>
[13]'''A parry against a strike to the leg'''
 
  
When engaging your opponent, stand with both feet together, while holding your axe raised over your head with both hands. From this position, step forward with your left foot and direct a strike with the blade from above at your opponent's forward leg. If you are standing with your left foot forward, and he is striking at your leg, then lower your axe and put it in front of your left leg with the front end on the ground, and parry his strike thus. Then you raise the axe, step forward with your right foot, and thrust him in the neck with the front end. If he parries with the blade on his right side, then change through below with the point, and thrust him in the left side. If he tries to do this, then parry with the axe blade to your left, step forward with your right foot and thrust with both points to his face and chest. Then you strike him in the head with the axe blade and step away from him.  
+
<p>When you have clashed together and your opponent has grabbed hold of your left arm and armpit, then quickly put the reins in the lower armour hook and ride as close as you can to your opponent, and grab hold with your left hand over his right, and pull it close to you over the saddle bow. Then you put down the right arm and elbow in front over his upper body and over his right arm(as you see in the picture), and if you then pull to you above and at the same time head butt him with the visor into his chest, and push away from you when riding past him, you will throw him backwards off the horse.</p>

[14]'''Cross parry against a thrust to the groin'''
+
 
Do as follows: stand with your right foot forward and hold your axe with both hands over your head, front end in the right hand facing the opponent, and the left on the back end. Then, step forward with your left foot and thrust him in the groin with the front end. If he does this to you, and you are standing with your left foot forward, holding the axe with crossed arms facing toward him, left hand by the blade and the right on the shaft, then step back with the left foot and parry his thrust to your left with the back end, then step forward again with your left foot and thrust with the front end from below in his face or chest. If the opponent does this, however, you parry his thrust on the shaft between your hand, step in triangle, hit him in the head with the blade and step away from him.  
+
<p>In this following clash, you do thus: When you both ride toward each other you quickly put your reins in the lower armour hook you have on your waist, and grab hold with both hands in the chest of your opponent. If he does this, and is about to lift you off the saddle, then put the reins into the lower armour hook, and make sure to loosen your feet from the stirrups and press yourself hard against him. Then you leave your own horse and jump over to his, and sit down behind him, holding him around his arms with both your hands, and then you grab hold of his reins and pull to you, and then you may ride away wherever you want with the opponent held captive.</p>

<p>If your opponent comes charging at you in full speed with the sword drawn, so that you have no time to draw your sword, and he then strikes at your visor, then ride up toward the opponent and lift your right arm to his sword, and parry it on your right side. Then you ride in close to him and grab hold of his open visor with your right hand and push upward, and thus show him the sun, and when you ride past him you will break his neck.</p>

[15]'''A death strike against a crossed set on as described below'''
 
  
When you engage each other, you do thus: stand with your left foot forward, holding your axe facing the opponent with crossed arms. Then step forward and thrust him with the front end in his left arm to set him on. Now, if you are standing with your left foot forward and he tries to thrust you in the left arm, then step back with the left foot and parry with the blade to your left. Then step forward again, and hit him in the head with a death strike with the blade. If he comes at you thus, then parry between your hands, step forward with your right foot and thrust with the front end in his face or chest. Should he parry, then step back with the right foot and strike a wind strike to his forward left leg, and then step away from him.

<p>When you both charge each other without swords drawn, but both of you want to be faster than the other, then do as follows: when your opponent comes riding toward you, and tries to grab hold of your open visor, then put your reins into the armour hook you have by the belt, and remove him with your left hand. Then you insert between your fingers the rope with a hook attached to it that you have hidden under your arming jacket by the saddle wing, and insert it over the opponent's armour wherever you can on the right or left side, and if you then ride past him, you will pull him to the ground.</p>

[16]'''A double set on with the poleaxe'''
 
  
Perform this device as follows: step forward with your right foot, and hold your axe lifted up over your head with both hands on the back end. Then continue forward with your left foot and strike him in the right side of his head with an athwart strike. If he tries to do the same, and you are standing with your left foot toward him in scale position, while holding both hands so that the front end is leaning on the ground, then lift the axe and parry his strike between your hands on the shaft. If he parries thus, then put the front end of your axe on his left arm to set him on. If he as set you on in this manner, then parry it with your blade, then lock his axe with your blade and thrust the front end into his chest with a forceful push, and you will thrust him to the ground.  
+
<p>This is how you do this device: if you both were to ride toward each other with open visors, and your opponent is about to thrust or strike at your face, then you quickly insert the reins into the lower armour hook and remove his attack to your left with your left hand. Then you grab hold with in the part of the bridle on the opponent's horse that is behind its ears and mane and pull off the bridle thus, as you ride close to the opponent. If your opponent tries to do the same to you, you drop the sword and grab hold with your right hand in his right armpit, spur the horse and ride past him, and you will throw him out of the saddle.</p>

<p>When you both ride close to each other with bare hands, and you both try to grab hold of the other and throw him off the horse, then make sure, since you want to come out the victor, that you close in hard on the opponent's right with your left side. Then you reach with your left arm from behind around the opponent's neck and grab hold firmly in front in his neck, spur the horse and kick his right foot with your left by the stirrup. If you continue forward past the opponent you will throw him forward over on your horse or pull him forward off the saddle. But if you see that your opponent tries to grab hold of you in the same manner, then you lift up the right arm, and strike him as hard as you can in the inside of his elbow. If you then press down hard in this way, and continue forward beside your opponent you will get free of him.</p>

[1]'''A thrust against a parry'''
 
  
In this device you step forward with your left foot and hold your spear and the shield together in your left hand and the sword in the right, and from there you thrust at your opponent's throat with the spearpoint. If he does this, on the other hand, and you, just as him, are standing with your left foot forward, with the shield and sword in your left hand and the spear in your right, you parry his thrust with the pommel of your sword, and then you thrust at his face with your spear. If he attacks you with a thrust in the same manner, you raise the shield and parry thus. But if he parries with his shield, you direct your thrust into his visor. Furthermore, should he do the same thing, you parry his attack to your right with your shield, drop your spear, step forward with your right foot, grab the sword with your right hand, and strike him in his right elbow and step away from him.

<p>When you ride toward each other bare handed, you grip with your left hand turned inward onto the opponent's visor, and pull him backwards and pull him against you, and he will fall out of the saddle. If your opponent does this however, then ride as close as you can, and reach with your right arm over your opponent's left and push it down so that it ends up under your right armpit. Then you press down firmly, using your left hand to support your right and press him down over the saddle bow, and you will have him captured, and if he resists, he will pull himself out of his saddle when he rides past you. If you want to, you may also break his arm by turning your horse to your left from his right side.</p>

Perform this device thus: step with your left foot forward and hold the spear with both hands on your right side and thrust the opponent in the crotch. If he attacks you below thus, while you are standing with your right foot forward, holding sword and shield together in your left hand and the spear in your right hand in front of your face with the back end in the ground, and remove his thrust to your left with the shield. Then, step forward with your left foot and thrust your opponent in the armpit with the spear. If he should thrust at you in the same manner, then step back with the left foot and parry with the shield, step forward again with your left foot and thrust him in the visor with the point of your spear. If he parries with the back end of his spear, then you change through with your spear from his and thrust him with your spearpoint in the groin.  
+
<p>When you both charge each other without drawing your swords, and you wish to emerge the victor, then do as follows: when you close in on your opponent's right side with your own right, you put your right hand on the opponent's visor, and push it away from you when you ride past him, and you will thrown the opponent backwards. If you notice he does the same, you wrap your right arm around his and press it hard to your chest. If your opponent tries to do this, however, you lower your hand and press down his left hand holding the reins, and quickly. Then you pull him over to your right side. Furthermore, should your opponent try to throw you in the same manner, when he rides past you, you grab hold firmly with your right hand that you have wrapped over your opponent's arm onto the saddle wing, just by the upper part of the saddle, and with the left hand in the saddle bow, i.e. front part of the saddle and press down forcefully with your elbow on the inside of the opponent's elbow as you ride past him, and he is forced to let go or be thrown over, and his attack is for nothing.</p>

Perform this device thus: step forward with the right foot and hold the middle of the sword with your right hand, and the spear raised over your head in your left hand, and turn in a thrust with the spear toward his visor. If he uses the same technique against you, and you are standing with your left foot forward, left hand on the middle of the sword and the spear in your right hand raised behind your head , then lift the sword and beat his thrus away with the hilt to your right, and thrust your own spearpoint into his visor. Should he parry with his sword then you step forward with your right foot, and grab your swordhilt with your right hand and thrust at his throat. If he turns in a thrust in the same manner, then grab hold of the pommel with your right hand, raise the sword and parry on the hilt between your both hands, move the left hand to your right on the middle of the blad and strike pommel and cross into his left leg, and then move away from him.

Then you let go of the reins with your left hand and insert them in the lower armour hook, and use it(the left hand) to support your right and you will get free of him above, and at the same time you hold his arm against your chest. If you continue forward, you will have him captured. But if you want to throw him to the ground, you pull his arm over the saddle bow and hold it firmly, and grab the reins with your left hand again. Then you turn your horse from the opponent's left side you your right, as you hold his arm as hard as you can, and you will throw him to the ground.</p>

When you have come together, you move your right arm in front over and around his neck and push yourself against him with the upper body, and as you push away from you above with the arm on his neck, and you will throw him backwards. If your opponent holds you in the same grip, and wants to drag you out of the saddle, then move your right arm over his right elbow and press down hard. Then you grab hold with both hands in your saddle bow, and continue riding forward, that way the opponent will throw himself. This technique can be done in many ways.</p>

[4]'''Two set-ons from the middle of the spear'''
 
  
Thus you perform this device: step forward with your left foot and hold your sword and spear together with both hands and thrust to your opponent's groin with your spear point. Of he attacks you below in this manner, and you are also standing with your left foot forward, holding your spear in both hands on your right side, then parry his thrust on the shield, throw it and thrust him in the throat with your spear point. If he thrusts at you in the same way, and you have thrown away your shield as well, then step back with your left foot and remove his thrust with the front end of your spear. Then you step forward again with your left foot and aim a thrust at his visor. If he attacks you in the same manner, then parry with your spear, drop it, step back with your left foot and draw your sword, grab it with both hands and step forward with your left foot and thrust him in the neck with the tip. If he parries this as well, then grab hold with both hands on the middle of the blade and strike him in the head with cross and pommel, and then you step away from him.

Then you put your right hand behind his neck and grab hold in his visor by the right eye or around his chin, and pull forward as you press down hard. When you have done this, you take your reins again with your left hand and hold hard in the saddle bow. Then, if you press down, and at the same time pull to you above as you ride past, and kick the opponent's left foot with your left just by the stirrup, you will throw him off the horse easily.</p>

If you wish to win the victory in this device, then you must do as follows: step forward with your left foot and hold the spear with both hands on your right side, and from there you step forward with your right foot and thrust the opponent in the throat with your spear. If your opponent does this, on the other hand, then parry with the front end of your spear on your left side. Then step forward with your right foot and thrust him in the groin. If he attacks you this way, then parry with the spear, drop the spear and shield step back with the right foot. If he steps back like this, then drop your spear and shield as well, and grab his shield with both hands. If he has taken your shield in this manner, then draw your sword, step forward with your right foot again and turn a thrust into your opponent's visor. Should he parry with your shield that he has taken from you then change grips and take hold with both hands on the blade and strike him in the head with cross and pommel, turn the sword around and step away from him.

<p>When you both ride toward each other and you then ride in with your right side onto the opponent's left, as soon as you get close to him, reach with your hand over the opponent's horse's neck and grab hold of the steel rods on its mouthpiece. If you then pull upward, the opponent's horse will rear. But if your opponent tries to do the same to you, just as he leans forward to grab hold of the mouth piece, you grab hold of him and wrap your right arm around the back of his neck and pull him to you as you press him down as hard as you can against your saddle bow. Then your grab hold with your left hand in his left and press down, you have averted his attack, as well as you have pinned him down and may capture him.</p>

Paulus Hector Mair (Paul Hektor Mayr, Meyer; 1517 – 1579) was a 16th century German aristocrat, civil servant, and fencer. He was born in 1517 to a wealthy and influential Augsburg patrician family. In his youth, he likely received training in fencing and grappling from the masters of Augsburg fencing guild, and early on developed a deep fascination with fencing treatises. He began his civil service as a secretary to the Augsburg City Council; by 1541, Mair was the city treasurer, and in 1545 he also took on the office of Master of Rations.

Mair's martial background is unknown, but as a citizen of a free city he would have had military obligations whenever the city went to war, and as a member of a patrician family he likely served in the cavalry. He was also an avid collector of fencing treatises and other literature on military history. Like his contemporary Joachim Meyer, Mair believed that the Medieval martial arts were being forgotten, and he saw this as a tragedy, idealizing the arts of fencing as a civilizing and character-building influence on men. Where Meyer sought to update the traditional fencing systems and apply them to contemporary weapons of war and defense, Mair was more interested in preserving historical teachings intact. Thus, some time in the latter part of the 1540s he commissioned what would become the most extensive compendium of German fencing treatises ever made, a massive two-volume manuscript compiling virtually every fencing treatise he could access. He retained the workshop of Jörg Breu the Younger to create the illustrations for the text,[1] and hired two Augsburg fencers to pose for the illustrations.[2] This project was extraordinarily expensive and took at least four years to complete. Ultimately, three copies of this compendium were produced, each more extensive than the last; the first (MSS Dresden C.93/C.94) was written in Early New High German, the second and most artistically ambitious (Cod.icon. 393) in New Latin, and the rougher third version (Cod. 10825/10826) incorporated both languages.

Beginning in the 1540s, Mair began purchasing older fencing manuscripts, some from fellow collector Lienhart Sollinger (a Freifechter who lived in Augsburg for many years) and others from auctions. Perhaps most significant of all of his acquisitions was the partially-completed treatise of Antonius Rast, a Master of the Long Sword and three-time Captain of the Marxbrüder fencing guild. The venerable master left it incomplete when he died in 1549, and in 1553 Mair produced a complete fencing manual (Reichsstadt "Schätze" Nr. 82) based on his notes. Ultimately, he owned over a dozen fencing manuscripts over the course of his life, including the following:

He also used several printed books as source material for his compendia, and presumably owned copies, including Der Allten Fechter gründtliche Kunst (printed by Christian Egenolff), Opera Nova by Achille Marozzo, and Ringer Kunst by Fabian von Auerswald.

Mair not only spent incredible sums of money on his fencing interests, but generally lead a lavish lifestyle and maintained his political influence with expensive parties and other entertainments for the burghers and patricians of Augsburg. This habit of living far beyond his means for decades exhausted his family's wealth, eventually leading him to sell the Latin version of his fencing manuscript (netting the princely sum of 800 florins) and finally to begin embezzling money from the Augsburg city coffers. This embezzlement was not discovered for many years (or perhaps was overlooked due to the political favor his parties garnered), until finally a disgruntled assistant reported him to the Augsburg City Council in 1579 and provoked an audit of his books. Mair was arrested, tried, and hanged as a thief at the age of 62. After Mair's death, his effects (including his library) were sold at auction to recoup some of the funds he had embezzled.

Whether viewed as an unwise scholar who paid the ultimate price for his art or an ignoble thief who violated his city's trust, Mair remains one of the most influential figures in the history of Kunst des Fechtens. By completing the fencing manual of Antonius Rast, Mair gave us valuable insight into the Augsburg fencing tradition; his own works are impressive on both an artistic and practical level, and his extensive commentary on the fencing illustrations in his collection serves to make potentially useful training aids out of what would otherwise be mere curiosities. Finally, in purchasing so many important fencing treatises he succeeded in preserving them for future generations; they were purchased by the fabulously wealthy Fugger family after his death and eventually passed to the Augsburg University Library, where they remain to this day.

Treatise

Much of Mair's content represents his revision and expansion of the older treatises listed above, including adding descriptive content to uncaptioned illustrations. Where available, these illustrations are displayed in the left-most column, labeled "Source Illustrations", for comparison purposes. Mair's own illustrations appear in the second column, alongside the translation. Wherever possible, the version from the manuscript or book that Mair owned is displayed; in some cases, however, the only known copy is in a book that Mair never had access to as far as we know (suggesting the existence of lost manuscripts).

The Dresden version contains the fewest pieces and its artwork is most reminiscent of Breu's style, suggesting that it was the first copy produced. The Munich adds additional plays and sections on top of the Dresden's contents and the Vienna likewise augments the Munich, so it appears that this was order of creation; conversely, the Dresden has no unique content, and the only unique plays in the Munich are in the section on jousting. To give a visual sense of this evolution of the work, the Dresden illustrations are used wherever possible; the Munich illustrations appear only for those plays that are missing from the Dresden, and the Vienna for those that are likewise missing from the Munich.

[1] Instruction on how both combatants shall engage each other

Thus the two armoured fighters enter the arena or enclosure to fight. Both combatants are for the most part armed with a spear, a sword, and a dagger, and they fight the whole time on life and death, until one is so exhausted he can no longer fend for his life. If one of them is so weak that he is no longer able to fight, he must give up all his property to the victor, and the victor can either accept, or take the life of his opponent. When engaging into battle, they call to the Lord. If you are standing with your left foot forward, holding your spear in your left hand held straight out with the point upward and the back end on the ground, your sword by your left side and your right hand on the hilt, and if your opponent then is standing in armour before you in the same manner, and you are then standing with your left foot forward, holding your spear in the middle with your right hand, you raise your arm above your head so that the point is directed toward your opponent and your sword rests on your left shoulder with your left hand on the hilt, then make sure to throw or twist the spear into his face or left armpit. Of your opponent comes at you thus, then hold your spear upright in front of you, and in this manner you will parry his attack to your left, and if you at the same time move to the side, you have defended yourself from your opponent's thrust.

Template:Section Template:Section Template:Section
Cgm 1507 20r.jpg
Mair's armored fencing 02.png

[2] Another technique with the spear

Put your left foot forward and hold your spear in the middle of the shaft with your left hand and the arm stretched out over your head, your sword in your right hand over your chest with the tip pointing upward, and thrust the spear into the opponent's chest. If he does this to you, and you are standing with your left foot forward holding your spear before you in the middle of the shaft with both hands, then raise the spear and remove his thrust to your right. Then step forward with your right foot arms raised and thrust to his face. If he tries to do this to you, you parry his thrust to your left with the left arm. Grab hold of his spear with the left hand thrust him with the sword into his face or armpit. This will cause your opponent to let go of his spear.

Template:Section Template:Section Template:Section
Cgm 1507 20v.jpg
Mair's armored fencing 03.png

[3] One more technique as the previous

Step forward with your left foot and hold your spear in the left hand and the sword drawn, and thrust with the spear at your opponent's face or chest. If your opponent attacks you in the same manner, and you are standing with your left foot forward, you remove his thrust with the spear from right to left. When you have parried this way, you let go of the spear and grab hold with the left hand in the middle of the sword and try to thrust him into the chest or armpit. If your opponent on the other hand attacks you thus, then step forward with your right foot and place it by his left and remove his thrust with the spear from right to left, and thus you have parried his thrust.

Template:Section Template:Section Template:Section
Cod.I.6.4º.5 IIv.jpg
Mair's armored fencing 04.png

[4] Another technique with the spear

Step forward with your left foot and hold the spear with the right hand in the middle with the point straight upward, and your sword in the left hand by your left hip. If your opponent is then standing in armour before you, with right leg forward, sword and spear held together with both hands over his forward leg, and his left hand on the hilt by the hip, then you hold the spear in the middle with your right hand, raise it over your head and thrust the tip into the visor of your opponent. If he attacks you thus, then you step forward with the left foot and raise sword and spear from left to right and remove his thrust to your right side. Then you let go of the spear and thrust him into the visor with the sword. If your opponent thrusts at your visor in the same manner, you step back with your left leg and grab the hilt with your right hand and your left on the middle of the blade, step forward again with the left foot, raise the sword and turn away his point with your forward point you your right, and thrust twice to his head.

Mair's armored fencing 05.png

[5] First upper and lower guard

Do the lower guard as follows: stand with your left foot forward and hold the sword with left hand on the middle of the blade and the right hand on the hilt over your right leg. Then raise the sword to a winding, and direct a thrust to your opponent's right hand. If he does this, then you direct your tip on the inside over the right arm. Should your opponent do this, and you are standing in the upper guard and with the left foot forward, you move your hilt from below and turn it in over your opponent's left arm, grab hold with your right hand above in his hilt and move both swords together. If he holds your sword in the same manner, then let go of the hilt with your right hand and grab hold of the tip of your sword, step back with the left foot and away from the opponent.

[6] The two side guards on right and left side

Do this device as follows: step forward with the left foot and hold your sword in front over your left leg with the point towards the opponent. Then, step forward with the right foot, raise the sword and direct the pommel towards your opponent's face. If you are then standing with your right foot forward, and see your opponent moving his pommel towards you, you press down with the middle of the sword and turn in your pommel with the right hand from underneath on the inside of his right arm. Then you step with the left foot behind his right and lay the sword against his neck. If he should do the same to you, then raise the pommel with the right hand over your head and step back with the right foot, and you will turn away from him in the previous guard.

Mair's armored fencing 07.png

[7] Third guard on both sides

In this guard you do as follows: stand with your left foot forward and hold your sword to your right with the point downward. Then step forward with your right foot and raise the pommel towards your opponent's face. Then, you move the sword in with the left hand between both his arms and lay the long edge against the opponent's neck. If he does this to you, and you are standing with your right foot forward, you turn your sword up outside his left elbow and put the pommel against his neck. Should the opponent do this, however, and tries to throw you over, you raise the sword forcefully and direct it over both his arms with the short edge, and enter into said guard.

Template:Section Template:Section Template:Section Template:Section

Mair's armored fencing 08.png

[8] A lower onset as shown below

In this battle you do as follows: stand with your left foot forward and hold the sword with left and above your left knee and the tip pointing toward the ground.

If he wishes to throw you in the same way, then as fast as you can, step back with your left leg, let go of the hilt with your right hand and grab hold of his right hand, and press down with all your might, as you pull your sword to you with the left. That way you will avoid the throw.

[70] A throw with the sword

Step forward with your right leg, and hold the sword with the hilt with the right hand on the inside over your right leg, so that the pommel faces the opponent, and your left hand on the middle of the blade, with the point turned downward. And if he also steps forward with is right leg, holding his sword with the right hand on the hilt as well, and the left on the middle of the blade, standing in open and raised guard, then place your left foot with straight body behind his right foot, and simultaneously the sword falls down, and you reach down your pommel on the inside behind his knees, and you lift up with all your might, and this way you will throw the opponent on his back. If he wishes to throw you the same way, then quickly place your hilt on the right side in front of his neck, and place the middle of the sword on his right arm. Then you pull to you as hard as you can above, and press down below with your left hand, thus he is forced to fall with you.

[71] Another throwing technique

Having stepped forward with your left leg, holding your sword over your right leg, the left hand toward the point, and the right hand on the hilt, pommel pointing backward, and he, the opponent, has also stepped forward with his left leg, and you who want to obtain the victory, step forward in scales position with your right leg on the inside of your opponent's left, and then you turn in the pommel behind his knees on the outside, and with your right hand you are holding the hilt with, pull up as hard as you can, and with your left hand that you hold near the point of your sword, press down. If he is trying to throw you over with the same technique, then quickly move your pommel and the hilt under the left arm, and punch the pommel as hard as you can into his left armpit, thus he will remove his left hand above of the sword. Then, if you let go of the hilt with your right hand, and grab hold of his right, and push down forcefully you will avoid the fall.

[86] Afterword

Behold, good gentlemen, here lies the man
who vilely lied about me, and
God knows what falsehoods he of late
accused me for in envy and hate
He betrayed me as he thought he might
bring to my reputation malice and spite.
He wanted to soil my good name
and slander me for evil shame
but God and the virtuous spirit of mine
defended have my life this time
God that gave me courage and power,
so that I was the victor upon this hour,
and won to day in a most honorable way,
For that I thank almighty God in all my days,
Forgive him for his sins O Lord above, you may
He has received his punishment today,
I am only content as here I stand,
defended have my honour with my hand
which is demanded of a man of my station,
who cherishes his name and his reputation.
