Zulaufenden ringen ("Wrestling on the run") is an anonymous 15th century German wrestling manual. The first known version appears in the MS Dresd.C.487, dated to 1504-1519. It was also included in a now-lost manuscript from 1539 which was documented by Karl Wassmannsdorff in 1870.[1] 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.
Dresden Version (1504-19) |
Wassmannsdorff Version (1539) | |

Hereafter is described the techniques generally used for charging into wrestle, or in the second, accordingly follows the Zettel. |

[98a.3] Die hernach geschriben stuckh ist man gewohnlich prauchen In lauffenden ringen odr In den anderen darumb volgt In dr zetl |
The 16 Wrestles; this is the 1st charge. To the charging-in wrestling, is that each one is the first, you should not only use charging-in,[2] rather you are trying and hunting the body-wrestling,[3] 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. |
