Zulaufenden ringen ("Wrestling on the run") is an anonymous German wrestling manual from the early 16th century. The first known version appears in the MS Dresd.C.487, dated to 1504-1519. It is also included in a now-lost manuscript from 1539 which was documented by Karl Wassmannsdorff in 1870.[1] In both cases, these devices 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 Wassmannsdorff version is more complete, the order of plays below follows the Dresden as the older of the two.
