Sandbox English from German

Here begins a good, general teaching about the long sword. Nevertheless, there is a lot of good, hidden art included therein

1. If you want to see the art,
2. [if] left [foot forward], go [to the] right with the cuts
3. and [go to the] left with the right [foot forward]
4. if you desire to fence strongly.

1. The first lesson of the longsword is
2. that you should learn to strike correctly before anything else
3. The second is that you want to fence strongly.
4. And thus understand that:
5. If you stand with your left foot in front
6. and strike from your right side,+
7. then the strike is wrong/false and incorrect
8. because the right side remains behind.
9. Therefore the strike will be too short
10. and cannot have its correct path to the right side.

[2] Prima admonitio, primum operam dabis, ut Ictus, qui mox describentur, artificiose ferire possis more Athletico, si fortem gladiatorem te exhibere volveris. Cum pedem sinistrum praefixeris, atque de latere dextro ferias, iam deceptus, et ictus est falsus, nam dextrum latus non sequetur, et ictus brevior, quam par est, apparebit, neque vero ad dextrum latus rite potest exerceri.

3. so that the Strike,
4. which will soon be described,
5. you will be able to strike skillfully in the custom of Athletics,
6. if you would have wished to produce a strong gladiator.

8. and strike to the right side,
9. now he/it has been deceived,
10. and the strike is false,
11. on the other hand, if he/it will not follow on the right side

Notes

• verborgen [verbergen] as opposite to ‘gemein‘, that is, special, magical knowledge as opposed to general. Knowledge for the discerning person.

ungerecht: possibilities include incorrect or not right, uneven or not straight. There are two primary meanings for ungerecht in Grimm. The first refers to both incorrect, wrong, and leads to unjust, against legal precepts, against natural law. The second simply means wrong. While there is possibly some punning going on as the right side is the correct side, trying to pull in the concept of unjust or against natural law seems like a stretch when simply using the second meaning of the word solves all issues in the easiest possible way.
