'''''Zulaufenden ringen''''' ("Wrestling on the run") is an anonymous [[century::15th century]] [[nationality::German]] [[wrestling manual]]. The first known version appears in the [[Johan Liechtnawers Fechtbuch geschriebenn (MS Dresd.C.487)|MS Dresd.C.487]], dated to 1504-1519. It was also included in a [[Wassmannsdorff's Fechtbuch|now-lost manuscript]] from 1539 which was documented by [[Karl Wassmannsdorff]] in 1870.<ref>[[Karl Wassmannsdorff|Wassmannsdorff, Karl]]. ''Die Ringkunst des deutschen Mittelalters''. Liepzig: Priber, 1870. pp 190-192.</ref> In both cases, these pieces are preceded by a fragment of the second half of the treatise of [[Ott Jud]], though there is no other evidence connecting them to Ott.

== Treatise ==

Though the Dresden is older, the order of plays below follows Wassmannsdorff as the more extensive version.

| <p>{{red|b=1|The 16 Wrestles; this is the 1st charge.}}</p>

<p>To the charging-in wrestling, is that each one is the first, you should not only use charging-in,<ref>''Zulauffen</ref> rather you are trying and hunting the body-wrestling,<ref>''leibringen''</ref> and this take thus: When you are charging toward him, then fix your right arm over his left and throw him overhead, as selectively the Zettel says a thing twice in these techniques.</p>
