Folio 12r 15 Listen to what is wrong, do not fight above on the left if you are righthanded;
16 and if you are left-handed, on the right you limp as well.
Folio 12v 27 Who strikes at you above, the Wrath stroke threatens him with the point.
28 If he becomes aware of it, take it away above without fear.
Folio 13r 29 Be strong against it; wind, thrust. If he sees that, take it down.
Folio 14v 30 Note this: strike, thrust, posture, soft or hard, 31 Instantly, and Before and After. Your War should not be in haste.
36 Four openings know, aim: so you hit certainly, 37 without any danger without regard for how he acts;
Folio 15r 38 If you want to avenge yourself, break the four openings with skill: 39 double above, transmute below correctly.
Folio 15v
Folio 16r 42 Crooked on him with nimbleness, throw the point on the hands.

Folio 20v 53 Whoever conducts the Failer from below he hits at his will.
Folio 21r Counter
Folio 21v 54 The Reverser enforces the running through and also brings wrestling. 55 The elbow take certainly, spring into his balance.

Folio 22v 56 Double the Failer, if you hit, also make the slice.
Folio 23r Counter
Folio 23v 57 Twice further on, step to the left and do not be slow.
Folio 24r Counter
Folio 24v 58 The Squinter breaks into whatever a buffalo strikes or thrusts. 59 Who threatens to change through, the Squinter robs him of it.
Folio 25r
Folio 25v 60 Squint when he is short against you, changing through defeats him.
Folio 26r 61 Squint to the point, and take the throat without fear.
Folio 26v 62 Squint to the head above if you want to damage the hands.
Folio 27r 63 The Scalper is a danger to the face, 64 with its turn, very dangerous to the breast.
Folio 27v 65 Whatever comes from him, the Crown will take it.
Folio 28r 66 Slice through the Crown, thus you will break it hard through.
Folio 28v 67 Press the strokes, with slices pull them away.
Folio 29r 68 Four guards alone hold; and disdain the common. 69 Ox, Plow, Fool, From the Roof should not be unknown to you.
Folio 29v

Folio 32r
Folio 32v
Folio 33r
Folio 33v
Folio 34r 75 Learn the chasing twice, or slice into the weapon.
76 Two outer intentions. The work after that begins.
79 Travel-after twofold. One hits, make with the Ancient Slice.
Folio 34v 80 Who wants to strike below, overrun him, and he will be shamed. 81 When it clashes above, then strengthen: this I truly do praise. 82 Do your work, or press hard twice.
Folio 35r 83 Learn to set aside, To skillfully hinder stroke and thrust. 84 Who thrusts at you, your point hits and counters his.
85 From both sides hit every time if you want to step.
Folio 35v 86 Learn the changing through from both sides, thrust with intent. 87 Whoever binds to you, changing through will find him indeed.
Folio 36r 88 Step close in binding. The pulling provides good finds.
Folio 36v 89 Pull - if he meets, pull more. Find the work that will hurt him. 90 Pull in all encounters against the Masters, if you want to fool them.
