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

If he strikes like this to your head and you also stand opposite him in the Oberhau with your left foot forward, then set your left leg back and strike him similarly from above so that his strike is in vain. Then immediately lift up and thrust your foremost point into his face. If he displaces this, change through from his left to his right side and set your blade on his right arm.

[2] '''The weak and strong on the pikes at first contact '''
  
If he has set upon you like this, then step back with your right leg so that you strike away from him. Then immediately stroke upwards with your Halberd before his face and in the stroking wind on his halberd at his left side. At the same time wind your Halberd and snatch it towards you. If he is strong and will not give way, step in with your right leg once more and thrust to his chest.
+
When you engage in fencing with the pike in this device, you do thus: stand with your right foot forward and direct the point towards his face, and keep your left hand by the left leg. Then, step forward with your left foot and thrust towards his throat. If your opponent on the other hand attacks you thus, and you then stand with your right foot forward and the right hand by the right knee, and your left hand above your left leg, then do as follows: move his thrust aside to your right with your front end, step forward with left foot and thrust to his face. Should he parry, you change through underneath, and thrust to his chest. Then, you step forward again with your right foot and lift the pike up into free position, i.e. holding it level with your head, either to the right or left of you, and then thrust to his face. If he attacks you thus, then step back with the left foot and parry with a crossed changing guard to your left. Take a step back further with your right foot and turn the pike out of the changing guard to your right and thrust again at the same spot. Then you lower the tip raise your right hand above your head, holding the pike in front of your face in good protection. Furthermore, should your opponent use the same double thrust against you, then quickly parry between your hands, step forward with your left foot and thrust to his chest, then you may retreat from him unharmed.

[2] '''The Underhau with the Halberd from Both Sides'''
+
[3] '''Right and left open guard'''  
  
It happens at this closing with the Underhau that you stand with your left foot forward and hold the point downward opposite of the opponent. Then immediately move your right hand to your right hip and thrust to his face or chest. If he sets this thrust aside, change through from his left to his right side.
+
The right open guard is performed thus: stand with your right foot forward and the point on the ground, left hand on back end and right hand by your right knee. From here, you step forward with your left foot, raise the point and thrust to his face. If he tries to do this to you, and you then stand with your left foot forward, with left hand by your left knee, and the right hand on the back end, and leave the open guard and enter into the crossed changer, and parry as you take a step back with the left foot. Then raise the pike into free standing with feet together, and the pike resting on your left elbow. Step forward again with the left foot, and thrust hard against your opponent’s face. If your opponent parries, step forward again with your right foot, and thrust to his left side. If he does this to you, then push away his thrust with the front end of your pike, from the left side to your right, and quickly thereafter you step forward with your right foot and thrust to his groin. Should he parry, you step forward with the left foot, raise the pike above your head and thrust to his face. If he does the same double thrust to you, then parry with the front end, change through from his left to his right and thrust to his face or chest. Then, turn to your right in open guard with right foot forward and withdraw from your opponent in good defence.

If the thrusts double like this to your face and you stand with your left foot forward also in the Underhau, then drive with your right hand to your right hip with your Halberd and set this aside at your right side with your blade. Then immediately follow outward with your right leg and set your foremost point at this chest.

[4] '''Free standing against the bar guard '''
  
If he sets the point at your chest like this, step back with your left leg, then immediately quickly yank the right back as well so that you can again match him equally and strike an Oberhau to his head.
+
When entering before your opponent, perform the free standing thus: stand upright with your left side turned toward him, and hold your pike resting on your left arm with the point towards your opponent, and your right hand on the back end. From here, you step forward with the right foot, and thrust as hard as you can towards his body. If your opponent comes at you this way while you are standing in the crossed changer, right foot forward, then pull back your right foot, and parry his thrust to your right. Then, step forward again with your right foot, and thrust to his face. If he parries, then you step further with your left foot, change through from your right side to his left, and thrust to his chest. If he does this to you, then parry with the front end of your pike and, step forward with your left foot and thrust him in the chest as well. If he parries, and you are then standing with your left foot forward, then parry with your front end, step forward with the right leg, and thrust to his face. Then step back again and lower the point to the ground, raise your right hand over your head and the pike before your face. Should he then come after you, then execute an as long thrust as you can at him and move away from him, well defended.

[3] '''The Crossed Wechsel Against the Abnemen'''
+
[5] '''Binding in the middle of the pike against a thrust to the face '''  
  
It happens that you stand in the Crossed Wechsel (changer) with your left foot forward and your left hand beneath your right shoulder. Then immediately step in with your right leg, wind double in the Underhau and thrust to his left leg.
+
In this device you thus: put your left foot forward, and hold your pike in the middle, with left hand forward, and the right by your left leg. From here you shoot the pike through your hands towards your opponent’s chest. If he does this to you, and you are about to thrust to his face, standing with the left foot forward, you step forward with right, turn the pike to the left of you and thrust to his face. Should he parry, then step back with the right foot, and if the opponent comes after shooting his pike at you, then parry to your right with the crossed changer guard, step forward again with your right and thrust to his face. If he were to do a double thrust against you thus, then parry with your front end, change through from your right side to your opponent’s left and thrust him under his left arm. If he parries, then step forward with your left and thrust to his groin. If he does it to you, and you are then standing with your right leg forward, then pull it back and parry to your left, step forward again and thrust to his front leg. Should he parry this, you raise pike and thrust to his face, and then withdraw from him away from danger.

[6] '''A thrust to the face against a thrust to the groin '''
 +
 +
This device is performed thus: stand with your left foot forward and thrust to his face from your right side towards is left. He he does so, and you are then standing with your left foot forward, then parry with your front end, and thrust to his groin. Should he do so, then pull back your left foot and parry with your front end, step forward again, and thrust to his chest. If he parries, then turn your pike over his, and thrust to his face. If he uses the same double thrust against you, then parry with the middle of your pike, step forward with your right foot and thrust your point to his face. If he sees it and parries, then turn through with your pike, step forward with your left and thrust to his right side. Should he do so, then parry with the front end to your right, step forward with your right foot and enter the strong of your pike, ie. You raise it and direct it towards your opponent’s face and sense whether he pushes his pike firmly against yours or not. From there you attack him wherever you see him open, above or on the inside. Should your opponent do this to you, however, you raise the pike above your head and parry, and then thrust to his face. Thereafter you withdraw from him well protected.

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

[4] '''A Gesicht Stoss (Face Thrust) against a Prusthau (Chest Strike)'''
+
[8] '''A reversed thrust against a take off/parry'''  
  
It happens that you stand in the Gesicht Stoss with your left foot forward and hold your Halberd at the chest such that the edge is turned upwards. Then immediately follow outward with your right leg and thrust to his face.
+
This manner is how you perform a reversed thrust: stand with your left leg forward, holding your left hand by your left knee, and the right on the back end of your pike between your legs, point directed towards your opponent. Then step forward with your right and pretend to thrust to his left side,<ref>German text says right</ref> but instead you change grip and thrust a reversed thrust. If he does that to you however, while you are standing in a parry, then step forward with your left lower the tip to the ground raise the back end up in front of your face with straight arms, and remove his thrusts above and below, from one side the other. Having parried thus, then step forward with your right, raise your pike you your right, and turn in a thrust to your opponent’s throat. If he parries, then change through from your right to his left, and thrust to his face. If he sees it and parries, then step forward with your left foot and thrust to his left side. If he uses the same attack, and you are then standing with your right foot forward, then turn your right hand to your left and parry thus. Then enter the strong position, step forward with your right foot and thrust to his upper opening, and you may step back from your opponent well protected.

If he thrusts like this to your face and you stand with the left foot forward, go forward with your Prusthau and set his thrust aside with that. At the same time step in with your right leg and thrust to his chest. If he displaces this, change through at his Halberd from his right to his left side. Then immediately step with your left foot in front of his right and thrust double to his face.

[9] '''An upper run-in against an upper set-on'''
  
If he thrusts double like this towards you, set the thrust aside from both sides, step in with your left leg, change through from his right to his left side and thrust to his left arm. If he displaces the thrust, wind your rearmost point from below upward into his chest.
+
When entering before your opponent to fence with pikes, then stand with your left foot forward, and grab hold of your pike in the middle, with the most part of the pike hanging behind you, arms well outstretched, left hand in front, and right hand behind your head. From here you take a step forward, and thrust to the opponent’s chest between both is arms. If he attacks you thus, and you are standing with your left foot facing him, then pull it back and parry between your arms. Then you step forward with your right foot and shoot the pike forward through your hands so that the front end comes into your left hand, and thrust to his face or chest. If he parries and comes after you, then change through twice, and step back, so that you hold the back end of your pike in your right hand. Furthermore, should your opponent use the same technique against you, then thrust a long thrust to his groin, and step forward with your right, and thrust to his chest. Should he parry while you are holding your pike extended before you, then change through from his left to his right side, and turn in a thrust into his face. Should he parry this as sell, then step forward with your left and thrust to his left side as you move away from him well protected.

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

[5] '''A Bind from which a Reyssen (Snatch) Proceeds'''
+
[11] '''A parry against a forceful free thrust from the strong*'''  
  
It happens that you stand in the bind with your left foot forward, your Halberd’s rearmost point at your right hip and the point opposite his face. Bind him from your right to his left side and then immediately wind your Halberd quickly over his and snatch it towards you.
+
Perform the device in this manner: stand with your left leg forward, pike held above your head with the right hand on the back end, and the left in the middle, point directed toward the ground. If he then thrusts out of the strong, i.e. with the point directed to your face, sensing you pressing hard against his pike, and steps forward with his left leg, then parry to the right and left and, lift the front end of your pike, step forward with your right foot, turn your pike through and thrust to his face. If you see him do this to you, then step back with your left foot and, change grip with your right hand on the pike and turn it to your right side, you will parry the attack. Then, leave the bind and thrust to the right side of his face. If he does this, on the other hand, and you are standing with your right leg forward, then quickly turn your pike from his left side you his right and thrust to his groin, and from here you step away from him making sure you do so well away from harm.
  
If you then stand like this opposed to him in the bind with your left foot forward and he snatches towards himself like this, then follow outward with your right leg and thrust into his chest above his left arm. Should he perceive this thrust and displace it, change through from his left to his right side and thrust to his face.
+
{{*}} Latin: A parry against a forceful free thrust where the pike is directed to the face.

If he seeks your opening like this from one side to the other, then step back with your left foot and set this aside with your rearmost point at both sides. Then immediately step in again with your left foot, wind your blade out in front and take his Halberd away, and then thrust to his face. If he sets this aside, seek his opening from one side to the other in the change through and with that yank (step) back twice.

[12] '''A bind followed by a run-in and a throw '''  
  
It happens at this closing that you stand with your left foot forward and he stands opposite to you in the bind with his left foot set forward. Wind forward at his Halberd in the bind and turn your blade to set it over his hook.
+
If you wish to perform this device well: then step with your left foot forward and bind with the weak against your opponent’s right side. Then swiftly change through and thrust him in the left side. If you see him coming at you this way, then parry in the middle of your pike, step forward with your right foot and, raise your arms above your head, and thrust to his face or chest as hard as you can. If he does this, though, then let go of your pik and turn away his pike from your chest with your left hand, step in quickly, and grab the middle of his pike. If your opponent has grabbed hold of your pike in this manner, then let go with your left hand and grab him by the weak point by his right elbow. Then step with your right foot behind both is feet, grab hold with your right hand in the weak point behind his left elbow, cross your arms forcefully, so that you can shoot your head through between them.

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

But if in the same way you place your right foot opposite him, and hold the sickle with the right hand in the manner of the high cut, and the left under the right arm, then you will displace his attempt to your left side with your sickle, and meanwhile, after you have with the left hand grabbed the right hand of the opponent, from the left side of your opponent cut his neck with the sickle. But if he comes at you in the same way from above, you will again grab his right hand with your left hand, and if he makes an attempt, displace this to your left side, and hit his left arm with the sickle, and from there again pull backwards. But if the opponent pulls back, you will with two steps press on to threaten the opponent and cut his head.

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.

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

[6] '''The double cut against the double parry'''
+
[19] '''A Halberd Capture with a Throw'''
  
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.
+
When you come together at the closing and have bound equally with each other, change through from his right to his left side with a thrust. If he takes this aside, step in with your right leg and take his blade away with your rearmost point at your right side.

If he intends to take your Halberd away like this, step back with your left foot and thrust your rearmost point to his chest. If he displaces this, step in towards him once again double and hit him with your rearmost point to his head.

[7] '''A high and a low cut and their parry'''
+
If he hits towards your head like this, displace this at the mid-point of your Halberd, then immediately grab with your left hand to his rearmost point and with your right hand to his foremost such that you have both Halberds in your hands. Then immediately step with your left foot onto his right knee so you can break his leg in two.
  
If you both approach each other, then put your left leg in front, and hold the sickle high with the right hand against the opponent, and from there cut his head. But if he in turn attempts to injure you from above, then again put your left leg in front, and hold your sickle against the opponent in the cut from below, then you will hinder his right arm from the front with the left hand, and if you then lift this, you can displace the high attack of the opponent. And from there you can injure the knee of the opponent’s left leg, [which is] placed in front. But if the opponent in the same manner hinders you from below, you can hinder his right elbow from the inside with the opposed left hand, and if you then displace him strongly, you will displace his cut, and if you then quickly again pull the right hand towards yourself, and attack the right arm of the opponent by cutting, you will from there pull back from him again.
+
If he has prepared both Halberds together like this and intends to step upon you, release your right hand from your Halberd and drive it around the back of his knee from the outside (as in illustration). Then immediately shove strongly away from you with your left hand and yank hard upwards from below so that he must fall and can work no further harm towards you.

[20] '''A Bainpruch (Leg Lock) against a Nackstoss (Neck Thrust)'''
  
In this manner you will behave in a mutual fight: remember to place your left leg in front and to hold the sickle high with the right hand opposite the opponent, and you will hit part of his neck or his left side. But if the opponent in the same manner attempts to cut, you, standing with the right foot in front against him, will then hinder the right hand of the opponent with your left hand, and if you then lift it high, you will in that manner displace the enemy cut. And from there you will not omit to hit the left side of the neck of the opponent with the sickle. But if he will come at you from above, you will with the left hand hinder his right elbow from the inside, and if you pull that back hard towards your left side, and so displace the opponent with force, if you then immediately follow up with right towards the inside, for him towards the left side, and immediately pull your right hand towards you, you will cut the left side of the enemy body with the sickle, and from there make sure that you pull back from the opponent safely.
+
When you come together at the closing and have bound each other equally, hold your Halberd opposite his face and then immediately change aside on his Halberd and thrust to his face. Should he perceive this thrust and displace it, step in with your right foot and wind your rearmost point from below to his left arm.

If he winds towards you from below like this, change up your left hand quickly on your Halberd and thrust with your foremost point to his chest. If he displaces this, strike with your rearmost point to his head.

[9] '''A different manner for the above form'''
 
  
To the aforementioned manner in a mutual fight you can adapt as follows: put the right foot in front, and hold the sickle with the right hand high from the right side, and connect the left [hand] with the left hip, and follow the placing of your body to the left, then cut with the sickle in the left side of the neck of the opponent. But if the opponent has come at you in the same manner, then place the right foot in front against him, and hold the sickle high with the right hand, and connect the left [hand] with the left hip, then direct the left hand from below upwards and you will block his right arm next to his shoulder, and if from there you pull him towards you as hard as you can, you will displace his cut and in the meantime cut the head of the opponent. But if he in turn tries to hit your head, then grab his right hand with force with the left hand, and if you displace that to the left side, you will deflect the cut of the opponent. And if you have finished this situation, then quickly reach with the sickle to his right leg, [which is] placed in front, and from there pull back.
+
If he strikes you like this from above, step back with your right foot and take his strike away with your foremost point. Then immediately wind strongly beneath his Halberd and shove it upward. Then step in double towards him and let your Halberd fall, grab with your right hand below to his left foot and with your left shove powerfully at his left knee so that you can lock his leg or throw him.

If he has prepared you like this, set your Halberd at the nape of his neck and press strongly downward (as in illustration). Thus you counter his efforts.

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

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

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

[12] '''A cut from above against one that attacks the side'''
 
  
In this fight, when you arrive at the opponent, you will remember to place your right foot in front, and if you hold the sickle high with the right hand against the opponent, you will hit his head. But if the opponent acts against you in the same manner [while you are] standing with the right foot in front, and you in turn are holding the sickle in the right hand in the manner of the middle cut, then with the left hand grab the right arm of the opponent at the front, next to the hand, and if you lift him upwards in that way, you will displace the cut from above. And quickly you will wound the right side of the opponent with the sickle. But if you understand that he attacks you in the same manner, then with the left hand hinder the right elbow of the opponent from the outside, and if you push the opponent strongly away towards your right side, you will deceive his middle cut, and meanwhile follow with the left foot and hit his right leg, [which is] placed in front, and from there again pull back from the opponent.
+
If you are both coming together, then conduct yourself like this in this piece: Stand with your right foot in front and hold your scythe in a low cut with your right hand at your middle grip, your left at your lower one. At that moment step doubly in a triangle and cut to his right arm from behind your head so that your arms come crosswise one over the other. If he cuts at you like this, and you also stand with your right foot toward him, and you hold your scythe in a low cut, your right hand at your middle grip, your left at the lower one, then go up out of your low cut and take his cut away on the outside of your scythe on your right side. At that moment, step in a triangle on your left side with your left leg and wind your scythe behind your head and back out to his head, so that your arms come crosswise, one over the other. In the same moment, step back from him with a good parry.

| <p>[3] '''Two Middle Cuts'''</p>
[13] '''Two cuts with their applied parry'''
 
  
You will adapt to the opponent from this fight in this way, that you put your right foot in front and hold the sickle with a stretched arm against the opponent, and you will make sure that you cut his head with force. And if he in his turn attempts to wound you, then you [standing] opposite him with the right leg in front, and the sickle held in the right hand in the manner of the cut from above, cover the right elbow of the opponent with the left hand from the outside, and if you then lift this, you will lift away his cut from above. Meanwhile you will cut the right arm of the opponent from above next to the hand. But if he attempts to injure you in the same manner, you will place your left hand on the chest of the opponent between both his arms, from the right side, and in this manner you will push him away, and from his cut you will safely release yourself. But meanwhile, after you have pulled towards you with your right hand, you will cut the right arm of the opponent, and from there pull back from him again.
+
Hold yourself like this with this piece: When you are both closing together, stand with your left foot in front and hold your scythe on your right side, with your [left]* hand at your lower grip, your right at your middle one. At that moment, follow in after with your right leg and cut around his body with your scythe toward his 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.

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

[15] '''Two middle cuts by which a way is formed to throw the enemy'''
 
  
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.
+
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 you want to use this action in an athletic manner, you have to place your right foot opposite the opponent, and hold the sickle opposite the opponent with the right hand in the manner of the cut from below, but place the left against the left hip, and if from there you move forward to the inside with left, you will place the sickle against his right arm to cut. But if he in the same manner uses the middle cut against you, you will again place the right foot in front, and with the middle of the sickle deflect his attack to your right side. But if you are in the same manner deflected by the opponent, you will place your left hand against his right elbow from the outside, and from there put him away towards your right side. But if he in his turn puts you away, you will direct your sickle around his loin from his right side in the manner of a cut. Further, if the opponent attempts it in the same manner against you, you will throw away your sickle, and take hold of the side of the opponent’s head with the right hand, with the left hand on the left side, and in this manner you will turn the face of the opponent upwards towards the sun and at the same time you can throw him towards your left side.

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.

When you both are coming together, then present yourself like so in this piece: Stand with your left foot forward and hold your scythe extended before your body toward the man, with your right hand at the lower grip on your right side, your left at your middle one. At that moment, quickly cut toward the right side of his neck. If he cuts high at you like this, and you are standing with your right foot toward him, and you hold the scythe in a low cut, with your left hand at your lower grip in front of your face, your right at your middle one, then take away his high cut with the haft of your scythe on your right side. In that moment, cut between both his legs to his crotch. If he cuts you from below in this way, then be sure to go down and force his scythe away with the haft of your scythe, thus you take away his shot to your crotch with it. In that instant go up again with your scythe and cut toward the right side of his neck. With this, cut it to the ground.

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

Item: Do like this: in this play, when you come together, stand with your left foot forward and hold your flail with your left hand at the lower end, and your flail-head and staff next to each other in your right hand. In this play, strike him with your flail-head to the right side of his head. If he strikes you in this way, and you are standing also with your left foot stand against him, and hold your flail with your left hand by the back end, and with your flail-head and staff beside each other in your right hand, displace his strike (lit. “take his strike off”) with your flail-head to your left side. Simultaneously exchange your left hand in place of your right and follow with your right leg in and strike him with the back end against his left arm. If he strikes at you in this way, hang with your staff on your right side; displace his strike with that; simultaneously step in a triangle and strike him with your flail-head to his head. With that, step back from him.

Conduct yourself like this in this piece: When you are closing with each other, stand with your right foot in front and hold your scythe straight to the man with your left hand at your lower grip, your right at your middle one. At that moment, cut around his body toward his right leg*. If he cuts low at you like this, and you are also standing with your left foot toward him, and you hold your scythe toward the man with cross-wise arms, then take it away below with your haft on your left side. At that moment, quickly cut toward his neck. If he cuts high at you like this, then step around on your right side with your left leg and take away his cut with your hilt on your right side. In that moment cut toward his left (forward) leg. If he cuts low at you in this manner, then set your lower grip of your scythe before your left leg and step with your right to your left and with that, take his low cut away. In the same moment, go up and cut toward his neck. Step back away from him with it.
+
Item: Do like this: In this play, when you come together, stand with your right foot forward and hold your flail with your right hand in the middle of your staff, your left hand at the back end. Meanwhile, strike him with your flail-head to his extended left leg. If he strikes you below in this way, then withdraw your foot; meanwhile, step nimbly in again with the aforementioned leg upon his flail. So is his strike in vain. Meanwhile, strike him with your flail-head to his head or shoulder on his right side so that you bring the arms crosswise over each other. If he strikes at you in this way from above, and has stepped with his left foot upon your flail, then again seize your staff with your right hand. Meanwhile, step with your right leg back and pull your flail hard to you. So you escape the strike. Meanwhile, step nimbly with your right foot again and strike him with your staff to his arm. With that, withdraw yourself back from him.

Conduct yourself like this in this piece: When you are closing with each other, stand with your right foot in front and hold your 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.

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

When 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.

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

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

If you are both 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.
+
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.

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

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

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

If you are both coming together, then conduct yourself like so in this piece: Stand with your left foot in front and hold your sword with crossed arms, so your grip is on your right side and the point is toward the man. At that moment, turn your point with a thrust to his chest. If you stand with your right foot toward him, and you hold your dagger in your right hand along the inside of your right arm, your left hand on your left hip, and he thrusts at you like this, then fall upon his sword with your dagger and push it firmly away from you on your right<ref>The illustration suggests that this action should be done to your left side, rather than to your right.</ref> side, thus taking away his thrust. In that same moment, follow in with your left leg and catch his right hand with your left and stab him in the throat. If he stabs high at you like this, then seize his right with your left hand and take it away to your left side. In the same instant, step back away from him and quickly wrench your right hand toward you and cut to his head.  
+
In this manner you will behave in a mutual fight: remember to place your left leg in front and to hold the sickle high with the right hand opposite the opponent, and you will hit part of his neck or his left side. But if the opponent in the same manner attempts to cut, you, standing with the right foot in front against him, will then hinder the right hand of the opponent with your left hand, and if you then lift it high, you will in that manner displace the enemy cut. And from there you will not omit to hit the left side of the neck of the opponent with the sickle. But if he will come at you from above, you will with the left hand hinder his right elbow from the inside, and if you pull that back hard towards your left side, and so displace the opponent with force, if you then immediately follow up with right towards the inside, for him towards the left side, and immediately pull your right hand towards you, you will cut the left side of the enemy body with the sickle, and from there make sure that you pull back from the opponent safely.

Present yourself like this in this piece: If you are both coming together, stand with your right foot ahead and hold your dussack in a low cut against the man. In that moment cut from below to his right arm. If he cuts from below like this at you have your right foot toward him as well, then take his cut away with your dagger on the outside of your right arm. In the same moment, grab the outside of his right arm with your left hand and step behind his right with your left leg and stab him in his face or the chest. If he thrusts at you like this, then snatch hold of his right with your left hand and shove it to your left side away from you, thus you take his thrust away. In the same moment, cut to his nearest opening just as soon as you find that opening, and step back away from him.
+
To the aforementioned manner in a mutual fight you can adapt as follows: put the right foot in front, and hold the sickle with the right hand high from the right side, and connect the left [hand] with the left hip, and follow the placing of your body to the left, then cut with the sickle in the left side of the neck of the opponent. But if the opponent has come at you in the same manner, then place the right foot in front against him, and hold the sickle high with the right hand, and connect the left [hand] with the left hip, then direct the left hand from below upwards and you will block his right arm next to his shoulder, and if from there you pull him towards you as hard as you can, you will displace his cut and in the meantime cut the head of the opponent. But if he in turn tries to hit your head, then grab his right hand with force with the left hand, and if you displace that to the left side, you will deflect the cut of the opponent. And if you have finished this situation, then quickly reach with the sickle to his right leg, [which is] placed in front, and from there pull back.

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

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

When you both are coming together, then conduct yourself like so in this piece: Stand with your left foot forward and hold your spear in the air in front of your face with your right hand on the back end, your left at the middle. At that moment, cut to his head. If he cuts from above at you like this, and you also stand with your left foot toward him, and you are supporting your halberd with your right hand at the back end behind your head, your left toward the man on the shaft by the blade, then take away his cut on your right side with your blade. 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. In that moment, step in there with your right foot and let your spear fall. Then grab him with your left hand around behind his neck on his right shoulder and your right hand to his left leg. Lift him strongly upwards so that you throw him on his face. Once you have thrown him like this, you may easily take hold of your spear again and proceed with cuts or thrusts as you wish.

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

You will adapt to the opponent from this fight in this way, that you put your right foot in front and hold the sickle with a stretched arm against the opponent, and you will make sure that you cut his head with force. And if he in his turn attempts to wound you, then you [standing] opposite him with the right leg in front, and the sickle held in the right hand in the manner of the cut from above, cover the right elbow of the opponent with the left hand from the outside, and if you then lift this, you will lift away his cut from above. Meanwhile you will cut the right arm of the opponent from above next to the hand. But if he attempts to injure you in the same manner, you will place your left hand on the chest of the opponent between both his arms, from the right side, and in this manner you will push him away, and from his cut you will safely release yourself. But meanwhile, after you have pulled towards you with your right hand, you will cut the right arm of the opponent, and from there pull back from him again.

But if he uses this against you, you will block the left shoulder of the opponent with the left hand, and if you pull the opponent down towards your left side, you will deflect his cut.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[37] '''A face thrust with an arm break'''
 +
 +
Item: hold yourself thus with this device in the onset. When you come before the man set your right foot forward and stab him at his left side [so] that you have your thumb by your rondel.
 +
 +
If he should thus stab at you, and you stand with your right foot against him, so fall nimbly with your left hand on his dagger and wind it out of his hand, simultaneously stab him with your dagger in your right hand at his face.
 +
 +
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.

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