Allerley Kampf zur Roß und Fueß in und an Harnisch ("All Manner of Combat on Horse and on Foot, Both Armored and Unarmored", MS KK5126) is a German fencing manual probably created in the 1480s.[citation needed] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. Though Paulus Kal was in the service of Archduke Sigismund of Austria at the time that this manuscript was likely created, it bears the same dedication to Ludwig IV "the Rich" of Wittelsbach (1417-1479),[1] Duke of Bavaria-Landshut, as the other two contemporary manuscripts (perhaps providing evidence that this is an unaltered copy commissioned by someone other than Kal).
Kal's writings (exemplified in the Cgm 1507 consist of a redaction of some of the teachings of Johannes Liechtenauer on mounted fencing, armored fencing, and unarmored fencing, as well as Kal's own teachings on a variety of other weapons. It differs from the works of other followers of Liechtenauer in that instead of offering extensive glosses of the high master's verse, Kal relies on detailed illustrations. Unlike the earlier manuscripts containing Kal's works, this is a much larger compilation incorporating material from several other masters within the tradition of Johannes Liechtenauer. At the same time, the text of Kal's own work is omitted (apart from the preface) and the art is somewhat inferior to that of the Cgm 1507.[2]

Note now when you use the pollaxe to fence, learn high and low binding-on as with the staff.[3]
|
[127r] Item also schik dich mit der streyt agkst zu vechten Lern obenn vnd vndenn anpindenn als mit der stanngenn
|
Next you come to the first play If he holds his hammer above him, then hold your thumb underneath by the left leg across the body. If he strikes from above, then parry with the lower part of the axe held above, or let fly at him with a sweep and hook the axe inside the right knee to pull him down.
|
Item in das erst stuck schick dich also helt er denn hamer vbersich so halt dw denn deinen vnter sich bey deinem tennckenn pain twerchs ann den leyb slecht er vonn dach so versecz mit dem vndern tail der agst oben oder laß fur gen den Straich vnnd hennckel In mit der agst in der rechtenn chnypüg vnnd zuck in nyder
|
Next he wants to perform the above play on you and hook you. When he lays the hook on you, strike with your axe from inside against his axe, lay with it against his leg and pull upwards with it as mentioned.
|
Item wil er dir das ober stuck thun vnd wil dich henngeln legt er dir denn hackenn an so slach mit deiner achst inen an sein achst vnnd leg inen wider ann sein pain vnd ruck als obenn geschribenn stet
|
Next if he counters the play above, then come in with the axe and wind in upwards. Wrench at his neck from above and set him back over your left leg on the right, or over the right leg to the left, and throw him. The play works from both sides.
|
Item ob er das obgeschribenn stuck pricht so secz im an mit der agst vnd wind im auf
vnd nym das ober reyssenn bey dem hals vnd secz im das tennck pain hinder an das recht oder das recht pain das gelinck vnd wurff in vber // das stuck get zw baidenn seytenn
|
Next, he binds on to you and both hammers stand upright. If he makes a peasant strike at you, sense and act as if you will parry, but let his strike go through forward so you can hook him by the nape, or strike him freely to the head, the shoulder or the arm.
|
Item pint er dir ann das paid hamer obenn stennd vnd slecht peẅrleins so enpfind vnd thue als wild dw verseczenn vnd lass sein chlag [!] fur genn so hastu das hennckeln pey dem nackenn oder frey sleg zw dem chopf zw der achsel zw dem arm
|
Next if he strikes at the same time as you and wants to pull your leading hand free, then give way and take his (hand) from him. If he sets his axe on to you, then set yours also onto him,[4] and lengthen your your axe. Then pull the left leg backward and place your axe on your right side, thus you have over-extended him.
|
Item slecht er mit ein zw gleich ein slag vnd wil dir dy Voder hant ledigmachenn so gib nach vnd nym im die sein als er dir mit der agkst secz er dir dar inen an wie er dir anseczt also secz im auch ann vnd lenng dein agkst
also zuck das tennck pain hindersich vnd secz dein agkst an dein rechte seytenn so hast dw in vberlenngt
|
Next, then lay the axe across the body with the hammer underneath and act as though you want to parry with the upper point, but seek to wrench[5] him from below, if he then strikes wide,[6] seek the opening inside the hand or under the armpit and set upon[7] him.
|
Itm schick dein agkst twerchs nach dem leyb das der ha / mer vnttersich sey vnd thue als wild dw mit dem obernn ort verseczenn wild vnd suech den vnttern rist slecht er aber weyt ein her so suech dy ploss in der hand oder vnder dem vechsen vnd secz im an
|
Next if you are performing the previous play and parry with the upper point,[8] then guide all his strikes to the side, and the play goes like Hildebrand’s Cut[9] in the long sword, however[10] it works with the axe as well as with other weapons.
|
Item schick dich als in dem oben geschriben stuck vnd versecz mit dem obernn ort so hilft er dir an der ain seytenn zw allen slegen vnd die stuck genn als hilprantz haw in dem langenn swert in allen pfinden vnd Indes get in der agkst als wol als in anndern wern

Item, do thus with the long shield: learn to deliver the Oberhau and Unterhau and learn to bind well below and above, and in the techniques described hereafter you will learn the side wrenching.
|
Item also schick dich in dem lanngen schilt Lern im anfang den oberen vnd denn vntern haw vnd vntten vnd oben wol lernst an pintn vnd in denn her nach geschribenn stuckenn wirstu lernnen die seytenn reysenn
|
Item, do thus the first technique behind the shield if you have a sword or mace: if you have a sword strike whatever opening you see; or cast [the mace] and call your marshal to give you another mace.
|
Item das erst stuck schick dich hinder den schilt also dastu ein swert oder kolbem hast dw ein swert wo dw in plossenn sichst so slach oder würf da hin vnd Hays dir deinen grieswartl ein anndern cholbenn gebn
|
Item, do this with the shield and with mace near to him and shoot with the point of the mace to his shield’s barb [?] so that he must expose himself; immediately strike or thrust.
|
[I]tem schick dich mit dem schilt vnd mit dem cholben nachet zw im vnd sch // eub mit dem ort vom cholben auf sein parcz schilcz so magstu in plos Indes slach oder stich
|
Item, do this nearer to him and step with a foot on a point of his shield so that he is completely exposed, then strike to lame the wrist.
|
Item schick dich mer nachet zw im vnd drit mit ainem fues an ein ortt seins schilcz also wirt er ganncz plos so slach nach dem lem zw denn glidernn
|
Item, if you have used all of your maces, and stand freely with the shield and he also stands freely with his shield, see if you can go under his shield by the point and wrench it toward you, then take it and quickly cast it from you and work with your shield.
|
Item ob dw die cholben al vernuczest vnd dw frey mit dem schilt stuenst vnd er auch frey mit dem seinen stet so besich ob dw im sein schilt Vnder gen möchst bey dem ort vnd reys vrbering an dich so nymbstu ymen wurff von dir pald vnd arbait mit deinen schilt
|
Item, if you have no mace and he has none then wind against him and note, as you thrust, the feeling; this is called ‘finding’ or ‘weak and strong’.
|
Item hastu chain cholben vnd er chain so wint mit im auf vnd merck auf die stoß im füllenn das man haist den pfindenn oder swech vnd sterck
|
Item, if you have come from the mace and shield, then remember the “murder grips”: with the bottom of the feet pressing to the shin and stepping on the knee, grasping the genitals, the wrestling at the hip, the punch to the heart, the arm break, to the neck and the nose, to the eyes, under the ears, or the Sun Pointer.
|
