'''Paulus Hector Mair''' (1517 – 1579) was a [[century::16th century]] German civil servant and fencing enthusiast. He was born in Augsburg in 1517 to a wealthy and influential family in the German middle class (Bürger). In his youth, he likely received training in fencing and grappling from the masters of Augsburg fencing guild, and early on developed a deep fascination with fencing manuals. He began his civil service as a secretary to the Augsburg City Council; by 1541, Mair was the Augsburg City Treasurer, and in 1545 he also took on the duty of Master of Rations.

'''Paulus Hector Mair''' (Paul Hektor Mayr, Meyer; 1517 – 1579) was a [[century::16th century]] German aristocrat, civil servant, and fencer. He was born in 1517 to a wealthy and influential Augsburg patrician family. In his youth, he likely received training in fencing and grappling from the masters of Augsburg fencing guild, and early on developed a deep fascination with fencing treatises. He began his civil service as a secretary to the Augsburg City Council; by 1541, Mair was the city treasurer, and in 1545 he also took on the office of Master of Rations.
 
 
Mair lead a lavish lifestyle and maintained his political influence with expensive parties and other entertainments for the burghers and city officials of Augsburg. Despite his personal wealth and ample income, Mair spent decades living far beyond his means and taking money from the Augsburg city coffers to cover his expenses. This embezzlement was not discovered until 1579, when a disgruntled assistant reported him to the Augsburg City Council and provoked an audit of his books. Mair was arrested and tried for his crimes, and hanged as a thief at the age of 62.
 
 
 
While Mair is not known to have ever certified as a fencing master, he was an avid collector of fencing manuals and other literature on military history, and some portion of his embezzlement was used to fund this hobby. Perhaps most significant of all of his acquisitions was the partially-completed manual of [[Antonius Rast]], a Master of the Longsword and one-time captain of the [[Marxbrüder]] fencing guild. The venerable master died in 1549 without completing it, and Mair ultimately was able to produce the [[Rast Fechtbuch (Reichsstadt "Schätze" Nr. 82)|Reichsstadt "Schätze" Nr. 82]] based on his notes. In sum, he purchased over a dozen fencing manuscripts over the course of his life, many of them from fellow collector [[Lienhart Sollinger]] (a [[Freifechter]] who lived in Augsburg for many years). After Mair's death, this collection was sold at auction as part of an attempt to recoup some of the funds Mair had appropriated.
 
 
 
Already in Mair's lifetime some of his people's Medieval martial arts were being forgotten; this was tragic to Mair, who viewed the arts of fencing as a civilizing and character-building influence on men. In order to preserve as much of the art as possible, Mair commissioned a massive fencing compendium titled ''Opus Amplissimum de Arte Athletica'' ("The Greatest Work on the Athletic Arts"), and in it he compiled all of the fencing lore that he could access. He retained famed Augsburg painter [[Jörg Breu|Jörg Breu the Younger]] to create the art for the text, and according to Hils Mair also hired two fencing masters to pose for the illustrations.{{cn}} This project was extraordinarily expensive and took at least four years to complete. Ultimately, three copies of the massive fencing manual—six volumes in all—were produced, the first entirely in [[Early New High German]], another entirely in [[New Latin]], and a third including both languages.
 
 
 
Whether viewed as a noble scholar who made the ultimate sacrifice for his art or an ignoble thief who robbed the city that trusted him, Mair remains one of the most influential figures in the history of Kunst des Fechtens. By completing the fencing manual of Antonius Rast, Mair gave us valuable insight into the [[Nuremberg Group|Nuremberg fencing tradition]], and his extensive commentary on the uncaptioned treatises in his collection serves to make useful training aids out of what would otherwise be mere curiosities. Finally, while his collection of manuscripts was dispersed after his death, most been preserved to this day instead of disappearing as did so many others, significantly expanding the corpus of historical European martial arts literature.
 
 
 
== Mair's Collection ==
 
  
The following are the fencing manuals that Mair is known to have owned during his life:
+
Mair's martial background is unknown, but as a citizen of a free city he would have had military obligations whenever the city went to war, and as a member of a patrician family he likely served in the cavalry. He was also an avid collector of fencing treatises and other literature on military history. Like his contemporary [[Joachim Meyer]], Mair believed that the Medieval martial arts were being forgotten, and he saw this as a tragedy, idealizing the arts of fencing as a civilizing and character-building influence on men. Where Meyer sought to update the traditional fencing systems and apply them to contemporary weapons of war and defense, Mair was more interested in preserving historical teachings intact. Thus, some time in the latter part of the 1540s he commissioned what would become the most extensive compendium of German fencing treatises ever made, a massive two-volume manuscript compiling virtually every fencing treatise he could access. He retained the workshop of [[Jörg Breu the Younger]] to create the illustrations for the text,<ref>Breu is not listed in the Augsburg tax records in 1542-3; given Mair's youth, he most likely hired Breu between his return in 1544 and his death in 1547.</ref> and hired two Augsburg fencers to pose for the illustrations.<ref>Hils 1985, pp 197-201.</ref> This project was extraordinarily expensive and took at least four years to complete. Ultimately, three copies of this compendium were produced, each more extensive than the last; the first ([[Opus Amplissimum de Arte Athletica (MSS Dresd.C.93/C.94)|MSS Dresden C.93/C.94]]) was written in [[Early New High German]], the second and most artistically ambitious ([[Opus Amplissimum de Arte Athletica (Cod.icon. 393)|Cod.icon. 393]]) in [[New Latin]], and the rougher third version ([[Opus Amplissimum de Arte Athletica (Cod.10825/10826)|Cod. 10825/10826]]) incorporated both languages.
  
=== Manuscripts ===
+
Beginning in the 1540s, Mair began purchasing older fencing manuscripts, some from fellow collector [[Lienhart Sollinger]] (a [[Freifechter]] who lived in Augsburg for many years) and others from auctions. Perhaps most significant of all of his acquisitions was the partially-completed treatise of [[Antonius Rast]], a Master of the Long Sword and three-time Captain of the [[Marxbrüder]] fencing guild. The venerable master left it incomplete when he died in 1549, and in 1553 Mair produced a complete fencing manual ([[Rast Fechtbuch (Reichsstadt "Schätze" Nr. 82)|Reichsstadt "Schätze" Nr. 82]]) based on his notes. Ultimately, he owned over a dozen fencing manuscripts over the course of his life, including the following:

He also used several printed books as source material for his compendia, and presumably owned copies, including ''[[Der Allten Fechter gründtliche Kunst (Christian Egenolff)|Der Allten Fechter gründtliche Kunst]]'' (printed by [[Christian Egenolff]]), ''[[Opera Nova (Achille Marozzo)|Opera Nova]]'' by [[Achille Marozzo]], and ''[[Ringer Kunst (Fabian von Auerswald)|Ringer Kunst]]'' by [[Fabian von Auerswald]].

Mair not only spent incredible sums of money on his fencing interests, but generally lead a lavish lifestyle and maintained his political influence with expensive parties and other entertainments for the burghers and patricians of Augsburg. This habit of living far beyond his means for decades exhausted his family's wealth, eventually leading him to sell the Latin version of his fencing manuscript (netting the princely sum of 800 florins) and finally to begin embezzling money from the Augsburg city coffers. This embezzlement was not discovered for many years (or perhaps was overlooked due to the political favor his parties garnered), until finally a disgruntled assistant reported him to the Augsburg City Council in 1579 and provoked an audit of his books. Mair was arrested, tried, and hanged as a thief at the age of 62. After Mair's death, his effects (including his library) were sold at auction to recoup some of the funds he had embezzled.

Whether viewed as an unwise scholar who paid the ultimate price for his art or an ignoble thief who violated his city's trust, Mair remains one of the most influential figures in the history of Kunst des Fechtens. By completing the fencing manual of Antonius Rast, Mair gave us valuable insight into the [[Augsburg Group|Augsburg fencing tradition]]; his own works are impressive on both an artistic and practical level, and his extensive commentary on the fencing illustrations in his collection serves to make potentially useful training aids out of what would otherwise be mere curiosities. Finally, in purchasing so many important fencing treatises he succeeded in preserving them for future generations; they were purchased by the fabulously wealthy Fugger family after his death and eventually passed to the [[Universitätsbibliothek Augsburg|Augsburg University Library]], where they remain to this day.

Much of Mair's content represents his revision and expansion of the older treatises listed above, including adding descriptive content to uncaptioned illustrations. Where available, these illustrations are displayed in the left-most column, labeled "Source Illustrations", for comparison purposes. Mair's own illustrations appear in the second column, alongside the translation. Wherever possible, the version from the manuscript or book that Mair owned is displayed; in some cases, however, the only known copy is in a book that Mair never had access to as far as we know (suggesting the existence of lost manuscripts).

The Dresden version contains the fewest pieces and its artwork is most reminiscent of Breu's style, suggesting that it was the first copy produced. The Munich adds additional plays and sections on top of the Dresden's contents and the Vienna likewise augments the Munich, so it appears that this was order of creation; conversely, the Dresden has no unique content, and the only unique plays in the Munich are in the section on jousting. To give a visual sense of this evolution of the work, the Dresden illustrations are used wherever possible; the Munich illustrations appear only for those plays that are missing from the Dresden, and the Vienna for those that are likewise missing from the Munich.

Therefore, moved and instigated against my will that I would order and place here a little preface and apology of the noble knightly art of fencing, to all beloved honourable men, be they of noble birth or otherwise. To this end I would not look on the cost, just as I did not with the other work and zeal that I put into this work, with unwavering hope that this preface would succeed to serve as good and comprehensible instruction for the reader.

But in the question of naming who was the first inventor of this art, they are found somewhat discordant and of differing opinions.

'''And while many''' of the learned say that this art of the knightly sport, as other arts beside, must have come among men to influence[?] their appetites and pleasure, from above, i.e. from God and celestial influence of the stars, as is well believable. Besides this, some say that ''Pollux'', who was honoured by the Romans, was an instigator of this honourable art; others would attribute the honour of such invention to ''Mercury''. But both these statements must be found somewhat obscure and uninstructive from the fact that they do not explain what use or profit they would have made from this art, or which lords they took as their disciples that would have learned the art from them and in turn passed it on.

'''There was however in the beginning''' and during that time a different mindset in fencing, and as each judicious fencer may gauge for himself, the artful plays and hidden holds, steps and strikes may in origin not have been worked out as they have now, but over time, as the learned, whom I shall name below, also kings, princes and noblemen did dedicate themselves to the knightly exercise, by their assiduity were discovered the best artful plays and advantages with which a man might win in all tasks and cases of necessity, and this has gone on for such a time that in the end they were set down in epitomes or books, with figures and writing, so that one may still in this current day consult the experience of those ancients who did love the art.

'''In addition, the ancients''', and especially the Greeks, did have such desire and love for the knightly exercise, that they did forego any kind of sweet food or drink several days before they would fence, likewise the lust of women besides all else that weakens the body and makes for heavy breathing, and did peruse such foods, as meat and other kinds, as do strengthen the body. On this matter did the learned ''medici'', and especially the most famous ''Galen'',<ref name="Galenus">Claudius Galenus of Pergamum (AD 131 – 201)</ref> repeatedly and artfully discuss, whether austerity and abstinence or the practice of fencing would profit more for the life of man. Also Saint Paul does report such an example in his epistle where he says, you see that those who would fence and fight over a transient honour or treasure are wont to forego all lust, as if he would say, why do not you the same, as pious Christians who are fighting not for an earthly but for a heavenly honour in this world.<ref name="Paulus">This may be in reference to 2 Timothy 2:4, rendered by Luther (1522) as: ''Niemant streyttet vnnd flicht sich ynn der narung geschefft, auff das er gefalle dem, der yhn zum streytter auffgenomen hat'' "None who would fight does meddle in the business of sustenance, so that he may please him who employed him as a fighter". Now Luthers ''narung'' "sustenance, nutrition, food" offers itself to an interpretation of "gluttony; carnal pleasure", but it translates ''pragmateiai biou'', meaning "the pragmatics of life", i.e. "everyday business". c.f. Tyndale (1526), who has "No man that warreth, entangleth himself with worldly business, and that because he would please him that hath chosen him to be a soldier"; Dresden has "temporal" (''zeitlich'') rather than "transient" (''zergenglich'').</ref> And therefore all those who love this knightly art do well to consider that in those times there were no drunken and immodest but sober, apt and most artful fencers. Also, it is rarely found in writing that among the ancients fencing was undertaken out of envy or hatred, as in our times regrettably occurs often, but out of love and artfulness. After the ancients did chastise themselves as they were expecting the day of fencing, they and the weapons with which they would fence were transported in all honesty on wagons to the fencing place or ''Theatrum'', and for them the prizes and treasures were painted in fine likeness and carried before them, and also beforehand publicly posted on the market-place, and thus made known to the common man. This custom is attributed by the historiographers with great praise to ''Terentius Lucanus'', who on three consecutive days did permanently have thirty naked fencers on the field, and when the fencers, masters and disciples entered the fencing place they put down their weapons in proper order (as is still the custom today); then the names of all fencers were written on pieces of paper and then with great assiduity the lot was drawn arbitrarily, and those two who were drawn by the lot then did have to fight most artfully and honourably for the treasure. For this, each of the fencers did most assiduously invoke their god, one ''Hercules'', the other ''Mercury'', yet others ''Pollux'' and ''Castor'', and so forth, and pray that the lot would pair them with good and artful fencers, and not immodest ones who were not well experienced in the art. All of this does illustrate that the ancients did fence above all for art and knightly virtue and honour than for any other things, for which reason, for the later generations of fencers and for the honour of the knightly art, the fight-schools as they were held and the promenading houses and halls of the rich were painted in their likeness, and those who held them, and those who won the prize were finely depicted, and the highest prize in this was retained by the freedman of emperor ''Nero'' who at ''Antium'' at the great imperial palace and promenade did most artfully and gracefully depict the likeness of the fencing-schools and fencers.<ref name="Antium">This is a reference to Pliny, ''Nat. Hist.'' 30.32: "When a freedman of Nero was giving a gladiatorial show at Antium, the public porticoes were covered with paintings, so we are told, containing life-like portraits of all the gladiators and assistants. This portraiture of gladiators has been the highest interest in art for many centuries now, but it was Gaius Terentius who began the practice of having pictures made of gladiatorial shows and exhibited in public; in honour of his grandfather who had adopted him he provided thirty pairs of Gladiators in the Forum for three consecutive days, and exhibited a picture of the matches in the Grove of Diana."</ref>

'''So did also the learned''' philosophers write about this knightly art, and the same were not ashamed to learn its, and among them ''Pythagoras'', who was held a good fencer, was the foremost, as he did win the prize with his artful fencing at the celebration of the 48th ''Olympiad''. Likewise did do many other excellent philosophers, without necessarily naming them all. So does ''Marcus Tullius Cicero'', the Roman mayor and eventually administrator of the entire Roman empire write on the praise of fencing [T. q. folio.125.] I consider and trust entirely that nobody at all can be counted among the number of the learned orators who were not well versed and experienced in all arts that are knightly and even if we do not employ them in speaking, nor is it possible to discern this in us, if we are exercised in knightly sports, but the agility and the bearing of the body does concord and correspond with the agility of the voice, both in cheerful and in lamentable topics, such that it appears all the more agreeable to the listener. This is confirmed by the most learned orator ''Quintilianus'' who says that the persons who are given to praise and do not have contempt for the knightly sport of fencing and takes this as the cause that the same have great advantage and furtherance in the art of being well-spoken due to their agility ''Anacharsis''<ref name="Anacharsis">Anacharsis the Scythian, according to Herodotus (4.46, 76 f.) brother of the Scythian king Saulinos; attributed to him are inventions such as the anchor, bellows and pottery wheel. He was slain by his brother after he returned from a journey to Greece and began to advocate Greek culture to his countrymen. He is sometimes counted as one of the Seven Sages of Athens. Among a number of letters attributed to him is one addressed to the Lydian king Croesus.</ref> who lived at the time of king ''Croesus'' in Lydia, at the time when Rome had stood for 194 years, wrote that he did greatly marvel at how the Greeks were such stern judges while the fencers did bear themselves so heartily and well with[?] open spaces, houses, prizes, treasures and highest praise, as if he would say that the Greeks do well uphold the law and give to each man his due, to one his due praise and to the other his due punishment. Many more similar pronouncements furthering the honour of fencing could be mentioned, but as I feel that no amount would suffice for those who disparage this art, it should suffice for the present time.

'''If one would look''' however towards the usefulness for defense and well-being of this knightly exercise, there are found numerous good examples and testimonies; for whence all the well-rounded, proficient and obedient men-at-arms if not from experience and the maintenance of good order. But who can exert good order in situations of emergency if not those with innate virility who desire to further this same quality by constant courageousness, and those would be the same as can instruct others in manhood, virtue and honesty. If these honest men have a position and influence with high potentates governments of kingdoms, provinces and cities, doubtlessly they will gain many as disciples and students who love and exert virility, so that in a city, not to mention in a province, such persons who are inclined to protect the fatherland, and who will undertake to gain agility to this end by the practice of knightly exercise, will be found in great numbers. So it must most surely follow that the same kingdoms, provinces and cities, even if in their location and fortifications they may not appear strong or firm, but with such inhabitants and citizens inhabited and occupied, will appear and be considered that much more firm, stronger and more militant against the enemy, as is well shown and testified by the following examples and histories.

'''The virility of''' the Greeks and especially of the Lacedaemonians, citizens of the most famous city of Sparta are very well known to anyone acquainted with history. [Pluta: fol.75.] Furthermore, their knightly virtues before the city of Troy, and in many other places, are evident. ''Plutarch'' writes much praise of their manhood in his ''Aphotegmata''<ref name="Plutarch">''Regum et imperatorum apophthegmata'' ("Sayings of kings and emperors") in Plutarch's ''Moralia''.</ref> and says that these Spartans had the custom that whenever they went to war against their enemies, their kings would always have to go ahead in the foremost rank and be the first to attack the enemy with manly courage, and one of their best knights would, if the king had earlier won a treasure such as a crown or a wreath in a fencing-school, carry this finely adorned in front of him, so as to show that their king was equipped with a spirit of manhood, and they would have other expert and honest warriors with them. For this they would contest all the more manfully and artfully for the treasures in the fencing-schools, in order to gain much honour and be placed next to the king in war and with honest praise and courage would move against the enemy in the front of the army. They did also disdain the best positions, such as fortifications, walls and trenches, and against these did much praise knightly manhood. ''Agis'', the second king of the Lacedaemonians, as at one time he moved on the city of Corinth, saw that this same city was surrounded by strong, long walls and fortifications, and he said, alas, who are these women that have taken and occupy the fortified place, as if he would say that honest and doughty men should not have any regard for such strong fortification but in need should praise the courage of the heart and the honesty of the mind and the prowess of the fist and prefer them over all fortification. By such honesty this king ''Agis'' did honourably reign over the realm of the Spartans for fifty years and left it behind in good stability. [Apopht. fol.17.] ''Agesilaus'' the sixth king of the Spartans was at one time asked why the city of Sparta was not protected and so ill equipped with walls and fortifications. To this the king answered and said, see these armed citizens, well-exercised in all knightly sports: these are the fortification and walls of the city of Sparta, by which he meant that virility is to be praised above all fortifications. This king ''Agesilaus'' did also reign over and preserve the realm of the Spartans for 44 years.

Such testimony would he who would carry arms need to present at the following assembly and diet. Then the authorities or his closest friends would gird him with his weapon and on his neck hang a shield, congratulate him, and henceforth he would be declared [a free man] of his province. In warfare and battle they had this custom, that they would take with them their wives and children, even those still in the cradle, and they must prepare and serve food and drink for the men, oil, try, bandage and treat their wounds and they then showed their wounds to their mothers and wives, who felt no abhorrence therefrom, but gave much praise for them. And when they fought a battle against their enemies, the wives and children must keep nearby, so that the men could hear the weeping of their little children, and the wives would shout and admonish their men to be brave and keen and not to flee, fighting not just for their country and people but also for their wives and children. This did often contribute to their victory, as ''Tacitus'' reports. For this reason they conducted their marriage according to the following manner. None could take a wife other than he was of grown age, and likewise the virgins must be of proper age, resulting in great, tall, strong people, and as they were joined, they practiced the custom that the wife would bring no dowry to the man, neither money nor property, but for a sword, which she gave to him for the purpose that he must use it to protect her, her children, and the fatherland. The man on the other hand must have a certain property, which however did not include money, or silken garment or clothes, with which he might adorn and bedeck the bride, but he must own two heads of cattle and an ox, joined in a yoke, a saddled horse a pavise or shield, a hewing-knife and a thrusting-spear. If he had these, the bride was given in his hand. This was all her marriage-portion, dowry, morning-gift, wreath and ring, hand-fasting and wedding-feast, church-going and consecration. The closest friends would inspect all the mentioned pieces, and if they were good, they were satisfied and wished them happiness and fertility in birth, and they were joined in that hour and the marriage was concluded. But the significance and meaning of these pieces was that just as the cattle under the yoke the couple must never part, in joy or sorrow, in war or otherwise, but they must live and lie together, journey and travel, and keenly dare all things, which was signified by the saddled horse. Also, the sword, shield, knife and spear must be kept by the wife in the event of the man's death, so that she might pass to her sons and children their father's marriage-portion at the proper time, and it would be kept and passed on even to the third generation.

'''At their high''' festivals they had this disport, that when the old were gathered together, the young must perform a sword-dance, and dance artfully over the naked swords, and those who were best at this were doing very well. They also had the custom that when any of them killed an enemy who was a great lord, they would cut off his head and fit his cranium in silver or gold depending on their wealth, and on feast days they would drink from it, and would let their children and nobody else drink from it, unless they had testimony that he was a man capable of military service and had in warfare put one or several men from life to death. Such a one, and nobody else, might drink from the honour-vessel. Not any peddlers did they allow to come to them to bring them foreign clothing or gems or other jewelry, and they never abandoned their manner of costume, never allowing the wearing of foreign styles, and with these habits did the Germans first originate, and they held to them so stoutly and bravely that by their manly honesty they harried and warred and inhabited and built fortresses in nearly all countries, such as Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Asia and Africa, and for several hundred years they did much damage to the Romans with their knightly exercise and warfare, and fought battles with them in many places, now winning, now losing, and eventually pushed them out of German lands altogether, until at last Julius the first emperor for seven years waged war and finally conquered the parts now known as France, but which at the time (as ''Aventius'' writes) was German, so that the river Rhine became a boundary of the Roman empire. Also the warrior women called by the Latins the ''Amazones'' had their origin with the Germans, which took the land of Scythia with a great host and dwelt there for a long time, and from there made war on other countries. Under the reign of their queen ''Pentesilea'', these were held in great honour at Troy in the war against the Greeks, in all knightly armour on horse and on foot. So this is now a brief summary of the traditions and laws of our ancient Germans, such as were proscribed and set down by their king ''Tuisto'' the grandson of ''Noah'' and by their king ''Herman''.<ref name="Tuisto">''Tuisto'' is the primeval god of the Germanic peoples according to Tacitus. Aventinus euhemerizes him as the grandson of Noah and first king of the Germans (r. 2214–2038 BC). ''Herman'' here is not the historical Arminius, but the fifth king in Aventinus' list (r. 1820–1757 BC), founder of the Herminones or continental Germans.</ref>

Not any peddlers did they allow to come to them to bring them foreign clothing or gems or other jewelry, and they never abandoned their manner of costume, never allowing the wearing of foreign styles, and with these habits did the Germans first originate, and they held to them so stoutly and bravely that by their manly honesty they harried and warred and inhabited and built fortresses in nearly all countries, such as Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Asia and Africa, and for several hundred years they did much damage to the Romans with their knightly exercise and warfare, and fought battles with them in many places, now winning, now losing, and eventually pushed them out of German lands altogether, until at last Julius the first emperor for seven years waged war and finally conquered the parts now known as France, but which at the time (as ''Aventius'' writes) was German, so that the river Rhine became a boundary of the Roman empire. Also the warrior women called by the Latins the ''Amazones'' had their origin with the Germans, which took the land of Scythia with a great host and dwelt there for a long time, and from there made war on other countries. Under the reign of their queen ''Pentesilea'', these were held in great honour at Troy in the war against the Greeks, in all knightly armour on horse and on foot. So this is now a brief summary of the traditions and laws of our ancient Germans, such as were proscribed and set down by their king ''Tuisto'' the grandson of ''Noah'' and by their king ''Herman''.<ref name="Tuisto">''Tuisto'' is the primeval god of the Germanic peoples according to Tacitus. Aventinus euhemerizes him as the grandson of Noah and first king of the Germans (r. 2214–2038 BC). ''Herman'' here is not the historical Arminius, but the fifth king in Aventinus' list (r. 1820–1757 BC), founder of the Herminones or continental Germans.</ref>

'''From the above''', kind fencer and reader, you may deduce to what extent this hard knightly exercise, kept so firmly by our ancient Germans, gave to Germany great liberty, honour and everlasting praise, and if things were still the same (concerning knightly and manly exercise) in German lands, and the knightly exercise were still held in such esteem, if vices such as usury, games, excessive eating and drinking, blaspheming, and disdain of all good arts besides other frivolity would be avoided and punished, what great profit, praise and honour for all of Germany would arise from this still in the present day. But instead all vices have taken such a terrible hold, primarily at the princely courts but also in cities and villages, that the abuses have grown to the point that aberration and lack of virtue out of old and evil habit are now adhered to as if it were a law, which is evident and in plain daylight so that anyone can see the pitiful state of affairs.

'''Our ancient''' and pious Germans for a long time did not allow any foreign peddler to bring them foreign clothing and costly armour. Much less did they allow the manufacture or use of such among them, indeed they would have been ashamed to be seen straying from their German knightly character and custom. The Spartans slew one of their warriors for the only reason that he had somewhat changed his costume and had decorated his shield with purple silk, so much did foreign finery appall them. ''Charles'', the first of this name, known as the Great, who was properly a native German, and who first brought the rule of the Roman Empire to the Germans, was in the habit of always using the old German costume and none other for as long as he lived. Not more than on three instances, and this only to please the pope, did he don a Latin long mantle and broad slippers, which he later did often rue. Many of his princes and rich noblemen in the Italian wars had bought many costly ornaments and foreign garments. But as they put them on for a high festival and the emperor spotted them, he chided them loudly in front of all the people, mocked them and said, wherefore, wherefore you free Swabians and Franks, how you have utterly perverted yourselves and changed the German character and manner with foreign costume. Are you not now wearing on your bodies the clothing of those on whom you earlier so valiantly made war and forced to submit to you? What, would you also pervert your courage in like manner? Fie for the shame that you would put an everlasting blame on the German name, which is frightful to all other nations, with this transformation of yours. Look at yourself, how you are clothed. While your emperor, making allowance for the necessity of nature may cover himself. Why do you spend your gold and silver so as to corrupt your fathers for such shameful goods and clothing? Or do you no longer want to be free, but slaves like your enemies, whose clothes you are wearing? He then forced the same princes and noblemen to join him in assiduous hunting, both in summer and wintertime, and they must keep wearing the above described adornment and clothing, and he led them through great hedges and bushwork. After the hunt, he sat beside them at the fire, and their foreign clothing was torn by the branches, and the remaining tatters were singed and burned by the fire, such that they no longer offered protection. But the clothing of the pious emperor, which was a wolf's pelt, remained whole and fresh, and he mocked them greatly for what costly but useless clothes they had bought for a high price. This pious emperor ''Charles'' with his keen and firm courage and great heart did appear so frightening to all nations that all pagan kings feared him. The kings of Asia, Persia and Africa sent him messages and honoured him with gifts, and so much he attained with them that for him the Egyptian king did freely offer all of Jerusalem, along with the tomb of Christ, cleared of all pagans, to the Christians, just so he would keep him as a friend in his coalition. As he received the foreign messages he would always have his imperial sword on his side, plated with gold and hung on a golden knight's belt, and keep his hand on its pommel, so as to present his virility in this way. But how the clothing and armour of the ancients compare with the modern clothing of our time, is most easy to describe, as just within living memory they have undergone manifold changes, and still in the present day it is the custom that he who would just invent much novelty is held dear by the lords, so that it happens that manhood was changed to lust and vanity, and the praise of the Germans is failing, may that God would mend this.

'''In what way however our''' Germans of these days follow and keep to the ancient Germans with regard to wine-drinking, games and exercise of knightly sport, their marriage and their meals, much could be written on this, as regrettably these things, when compared would present a very strange and awkward relation. The old, when they sat at their meals and symposia with their friends of high or low birth, would tell about the honest deeds of their ancestors, which was heard by the young, who took to heart to have desire and love towards the knightly art of fencing from which the most chivalrous gain praise. This with artful assiduity they exercised, and vices such as drinking, gambling, lust of women, vanity of clothing, they did forego. [Apoph: fol.721.] ''Plutarch'' writes in his ''Apophtegmata'' that king ''Antigonus'' once asked the philosopher ''Menedemus'' if he should go drinking with a number of good fellows of his. ''Menedemus'' replied with a single phrase and said, ah, he is a king's son, by which he would indicate that the habit of wine-drinking does ill befit kings, princes and others of superior rank, meaning that there is other exercise and practice than drinking, to which to apply themselves would be more praisworthy and more profitable for them.

[Apoph: fol.312.] Likewise with Alexander the Great in his youth, at one time after he had been drinking wine and came back home to court, and his father Philip was told that his son Alexander had been drinking wine and had been singing very well, king Philipp was much displeased and chided him with these words, saying, are you not ashamed of yourself that you are so apt in drinking and singing, as if he would say, are you not a king's son, why are you dealing with such disdainful practice, are you proposing to support your kingdom by such frivolity after my death, or do you have such modest and childlike neighbours in the cities of Athens, Corinth, Argis, Corcica and others, so turn your mind to knightly arts, which serve for the development of your realm, honour and prosperity. At this instruction and scolding Alexander was so dismayed that he fast dedicated himself to knightly exercises, for which he gained later reward on many duelling-fields, and finally culminated in this, that within twelve years he subjugated and conquered the entire world with his knightly disposition. And truly, as I see it, if such knightly exercise according to the ancient manner and custom, in place of frivolous exercise, which over time have become so ubiquitous not just at royal or princely courts but also in the cities and everywhere and have displaced the exercise of good virtue, should again become well-established with both high and lower government, it would surely be highly profitable and useful for Germany and its degenerated prestige and dodgy reputation.

'''To the''' honour-loving custom of the knightly sport did the Roman emperor ''Henry'', the first of this name, wish to dedicate himself and lend support with all his appetite and desire, so that it would not decay, with the good and timely counsel of his princes and other lords. And he did establish the praiseworthy knightly sport of the tourney in the year 938 with the counsel of his princes and lords, adorned with twelve praiseworthy, honourable and Christian articles, so as to conserve honour, virtue and honesty in the Holy Empire of the German Nation. In this manner that none among the nobility, princes or counts, might participate in the knightly sport of the tourney if they violated the said twelve articles. Whoever did so was made the mockery of all princes, lords and ladies, put on the barriers, denuded of horse, weapons and armour, and publicly proclaimed a villain by the heralds, so that the princes, lords and noblemen were incited to good virtues and avoided many great vices.

'''But on the other hand''' all sorts of new-fangled arts, as for example the pernicious shooting, are seen in this our time, of which the princes and lords now make avid use in warfare, by which the knightly art is sorely weakened and there is a sore decline in the supply of brave heroes.
 
'''But on the other hand''' all sorts of new-fangled arts, as for example the pernicious shooting, are seen in this our time, of which the princes and lords now make avid use in warfare, by which the knightly art is sorely weakened and there is a sore decline in the supply of brave heroes.
  
 
By this harsh art, many a courageous hero's life was stolen surreptitiously and from afar, who would otherwise could well have saved and made for himself an immortal name of praise by virtue of his knightly spirit. Plutarch writes [Apoph. fol: 61.], as ''Archidamus'' for the first time set eyes on a catapult, which was first invented in Sicily, he began to lament with a loud voice, by the god Hercules, the courage of men will go to ruin, as if he would say, if more such and alike instruments were to be invented and used in war, there will be no longer any difference between bawdy, slothful and lusty, valiant men-at-arms. And thus will decay all knightly exercise, and in its place all cunning, sloth and vice will grow apace, and such has regretfully happened and is now in full fashion. From this it has truly been shown over time that there is a great scarcity of doughty, brave and strong men who have invented artillery, mortars, catapults or other such implements. ''Socrates'' was asked by the Spartans, where were all the strong heroes and doughty, well-versed warriors. Well, said Socrates, at Troy. By which he wanted to convey that as at Troy was held knightly exercise but that there the very nucleus of Greek knighthood, warring for honour, had over time fallen, so that at the present time there was only left a shadow or spectre of their former praise. What can I say, oftentimes men, and especially the Roman emperor and king, were trying to aid this knightly art, but this has never really taken hold, as we have amply set out above. Finally, the knightly art has come to this, that it developed the Brotherhood known as Saint Mark's, which the most eminent, most mighty Roman emperors of most praiseworthy memory, Frederick, the third of this name, Maximilian, and now the invincible prince, Charles himself all three nobly born of the old and praiseworthy house of Austria,<ref name="Frederick">the successive Habsburg emperors Frederick III, Maximilian I and Charles V, spanning the period since the supposed disestablishment of the knightly tournament and the establishment of the Brotherhood of St. Mark or ''Marxbrüder''. The ''Freifechter'' denounced by Mair seem to represent an early form of the guild later known as ''Federfechter'' (unless the term still has a generic meaning, ''frei'' as in "unincorporated").</ref> so that this knightly exercise may not decay completely, and at this time may once again be aided with privileges and liberties, presented furnished with their best and most gracious sympathy. Namely such that on every autumn's fair in Frankfurt, those who would be or become master of the sword, must first be examined in their masterly test in the iron-run[?] and golden art by ordained and sworn masters of Saint Mark's Brotherhood, and all that is pertinent to the knightly fencing with all virtue they must request and confirm their completion under oath. These [masters of the sword] may then hold schools as far as does extend the Roman Empire of the German Nation and may teach to other men on their request the proper manner of the sword. But for two reasons this exercise is held in low regard, the first, that gamblers, drunkards, usurers and lovers of beautiful women have been given much room in the highest places, such as princely courts and in the chief cities of the empire, and knightly art and exercise may not thrive due to them, but must always stay hidden behind the door, and the second, that numerous masters of the sword and otherwise masters, also Freifechter and numerous other fencers, to their own damage and disadvantage and that of the praiseworthy ancient art, act ineptly and ignominiously, foster envy and hatred in their fencing in schools, such that the young would hold the old in contempt at the fencing-school, and force on them their wantonness, and in addition abuse themselves of too much wine, from which results much frivolous discord, much to the chagrin of the authorities, and causes a considerable decline in the noble art. All this then serves more the extirpation than to the taking root of the noble and ancient knightly art, as pains me at the heart, and I would rather (in the interest of the noble art) hide it by my silence than to report it, especially as these vices are also hardly conductive to civil order. So I would gladly instruct all pious honest fencers to the profit and benefit of the fatherland, in the hope that they should be rewarded for it by everlasting praise.

[Apoph. fol: .7.] ''Plutarch'' writes in his courtly aphorisms that the excellent scholar ''Carillus'' was asked, which were the most praiseworthy cities, and he answered to this effect, that those cities were the best and safest, in which the citizens do not quarrel for ambition or authority, but one desires to excel the other by means of manly virtue (but without rioting) and would gladly be the foremost in the furtherance of communal benefit. For this the gods of the Spartans were all conceived as wearing armour and carrying arms, as if they wanted to convey that even the gods themselves had enmity and hatred for sloth and idleness. But [now] all would defend lust and sloth and pretend that one could still rule and sustain a land and people, even though the knightly sport of fencing is no longer as much in fashion as it used to be in the beginning, because this art would also produce insolent, proud and foolhardy men, and for this reason should be closely supervised. To these I know no short answer, then it is true, that a regrettably large number of men who undertake to learn the knightly art within their own insolent wantonness, and that for this reason, they use their force to commit outrage and in anger cause injury to other men, as happened in Rome at one time as two fencing-masters did attach to themselves a great number of fencers and rioted in Italy causing so much damage to the common man that the mayors of Rome led the whole army against them, fought them, and had to exterminate them. Those, who are such men, I do not deem worthy of being named honest fencers, nor are they in no way worthy of any praise, and I do not wish to publish this work of honour to their praise, but to impel them to good virtue. Such reckless fencers to not consort with honourable men, but with lions, bears, leopards, tigers, wild cattle, and buffaloes, or with bad, outlawed, evil men as was the custom of the Romans. For their use of fencing and foolhardiness they shall receive no praise whatsoever from my part.

'''But there is found no''' faculty in all the world which does not share in such danger and worry, for a man may study whatever he likes, be he a ''theologian, jurist, medicus'' or some other besides, if his heart is not honest, pious and his spirit not upright, then all that which he is capable of and which he studied will only serve to the detriment and damage of himself and of others. Therefore no-one who desires to learn the knightly art should be dismayed by such lazy insinuations, and it does seem to me that such lazy insinuation does exclusively emanate from lazy and ignominious men who as the Epicureans put their attention only on all laziness and bodily lust, and that they have good and lazy days, a calm life, the best dainties, the best wine and drink according to all their whims and pleasure, may God provide for honest manhood and knightly sport by which land and people are sustained, and if these would utterly decay, they would not care much. Yea they would not care to have their garment wrinkled[?] for the sake of the common good, and that much less would they risk the smallest part of their pleasure. These are the right fellows born in the kingdom of Cockaigne. The ancients have composed a fable of the land of Cockaigne as a determent for the young, where the houses are built from gingerbread, with fences made from wattled sausages, and hail and rain of sugar, the streams and fountains are filled with tasty wine, and all fowls are roasted, and do not have to be caught but roasted they fly into the mouth of anyone who so desires. Also, who can sleep and keep lazy for the longest time, and can hold himself with superfluous eating and drinking in a way that goes against nature, these are supported by a liberal yearly provision, and other similar things besides, such is contained in the order and statutes of this land of Cockaigne.<ref name="Schlaraffen">''Schlaraffenland'' is the German adaptation of ''Coquaigne'' (''Cucania''), first encountered in the 15th century (as ''schlauraff'', ''schluderaffe'') and popularised by Hans Sachs (1558). The name seems to originate as an (unattested) medieval slur meaning "lazy idler", ''schlu(de)r-affe'', lit. "drooping ape".</ref> But while the ancients had the opposite intent in this, and wanted to incite the lazy men to prowess by means of mockery, these fellows are so much opposed to it as if they would want to own the land of Cockaigne, and take a position of government and authority therein, and all good arts they disdain, besmirch and even try to extirpate by their lazy insinuation just to gloss over their slothfulness and their inert, godless lives.

'''All kinds of examples''' of honesty are found in the histories, which indicate clearly that the empires, countries and cities are sustained by honesty of spirit and prowess of the fist, but that they dissolve and are undone by lazy inertia. The Assyrian Empire, which was the first empire in this world, did take its origin with king ''Ninus'' and by thirty-six kings was ruled in full honesty during one thousand two hundred and forty years. But on his accession their final king, ''Sardanapolus''<ref name="Assyria">Ninus: the legendary founder of Nineveh according to Ctesias (''Persica'', ca. 400 BC); Ctesias' Sardanapolus corresponds to Ashurbanipal (669 - 627 BC); Ctesias is a rather unreliable source by comparison with Herodotus and the Ptolemaic king list; but in any case knowledge on the Assyrian empire was very limited before the decipherment of cuneiform in the 1850s.</ref> ruled in such a way that under his rule sloth, lust of women, excessive eating and drinking, and gambling, became so rife that he drowned in these said vices, while honesty was in such low esteem that his own people grew disobedient and deserted him, and was divided in gangs and parties, and he was finally chased and exiled from his own empire, and thus by his negligent laziness, disrespect of knightly exercise and bad government, the Assyrian Empire came to its end with him. This king was often found in his women's quarters when he should have been dedicating himself to knighthood, and to please them he used to work the spindle. He had made costly preparation of his tomb before his death, and on it he ordered the following inscription [folio. 46.] ''Sardanapolus Anecendarases. Ede, bibe, lude.'' which in German means this, Sardanapolus of Anecendarasis, eat, drink, play. In this the kind reader may well perceive what difference in success and failure there is between slothful and valiant lords. As Xerxes, king in Persia, re-conquered and brought into his power the city of Babylon after it had seceded from him, he considered how he could keep the great city of Babylon so that it would not secede from him again, and to this end he ordered that all Babylonian citizens and inhabitants may not carry any weapon, and may no longer exercise knightly sport, but he allowed them to visit the taverns and drink wine every night, to sing and whistle and also that they might have beautiful women, and might wear plaited dresses. All this he did with the intent of turning honest men into soft women, which indeed then did come to pass as they became used to pleasures, so that their manhood declined and thence he might rein them as with a bridle, which also did come to pass.

'''That God''' must hate the slothful is evident from the example of Gideon, as God would have his glory and victory over the Midianites not by means of the slothful, of whom there were entire troops, but by the valiant, keen and expert, of whom there were hardly three hundred, and who brought the water to the mouth with their hands. Saint ''David'' praised God the almighty many times, so that he might lend him grace and strength, and that his fingers would be ready to make war on his enemies.<ref name="Psalm">Gideon: Judges 7:4-7; David: Psalm 144:1: "Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight" (KJV).</ref> He also says how his help or hope are not in his sword, bow or arrow, but his hope is in the Lord. But for this he does not throw away his sword nor his arrow or bow, but he makes use of them as [instruments?] of God, by which God would show his glory, which example, then, is also appropriate to any pious and honest Christian fencer, namely that he remember to not spare his body in the time of need, for the faith and the true religion, against the Turks and infidels and for the freedom of the fatherland, for the protection and defense of widows and orphans, and that he should at all times employ the knightly art to such praiseworthy ends.

Who has just one of these qualities in him will not be easily cheated and his superiority not easily surrendered.

| <p>'''Of the three structures'''<ref>Mair here uses “''die Wag''” (pl. “''Wagen''”), which I am assuming refers to “balance scale” (''die Waage'', pl.

A derivation from “''der Wagen''” (cart, carriage) is linguistically not supported. The other two MS do not contain this passage, so a comparison is not possible.</ref></p>

<p>Three things are to be closely focussed on, in mounted fighting or on foot, that is the three structures, the upper, middle and lower structure, that is: If you are standing high with both thighs together upright in the highest stance, that is Upper Structure. But if you are medium low, that is the Middle Structure. But if you stand low, that is the Lower Structure. With this teaching you need to be familiar, so you know what the structure is or how to execute it.</p>

<p>There are six vulnerabilities with every person, which every fencer shall have in good practice, memory and knowledge, that is one vulnerability on the tip of your chin, one in the front of your throat, one behind each elbow, one in front at the fist, one in the middle of the arm and in the back of each knee.

[7] '''A Low ''Mundiern'' with a ''Geferhaw'''''
  
When you come to the closing with the opponent, it happens that you stand in the low Mundiern (transition/changer) with your right foot forward, the long edge below the hilt near your right knee such that the point is going in between your legs. Immediately go up and follow outward with your left leg such that your long edge is turned upward and the point directed at the opponent. Follow outward with your right foot once again and strike with the long edge to his head.

You stand against him in the Geferhaw (Danger Strike) with your right foot set forward and he strikes like this at you. Set your right leg to the rear again and go with your Duseggen well up over your head such that the long edge stands above. Thus his strike is displaced. Then immediately work quickly at the weak and strong seeking from one opening to another, from below and above.

[41] '''A way of placing the dussack on the opponent's neck and push him'''
|
+
 
'''[41]'''  
+
The following device is performed in this manner: step forward with your right foot and hold your dussack raised over your head. If your opponent is standing before you this way, then step forward with your left foot and strike from above to his head. If he strikes you in this manner, then you too step forward with your left foot and parry him with the long edge. Then you step to your opponent's left so that your foot is standing below beside his left foot. Then you turn your dussack so that your point is pointing toward your opponent's right and swiftly grab hold of the middle of your dussack with your left hand and press against your opponent's neck with the long edge forward, and then with all your might push him back with your dussack, and if you at the same time put your foot in behind his knee, you can throw him over by pulling him to you. If you are held in the same manner above and below, then reach with your left hand under his right and raise it up. Then, if you as quickly as you can try to thrust him in the face, he will have to let you go, and parry your thrust, and this way you will get away safe and sound.

[42] '''A strike from above followed by an arm-lock'''
 +
 
 +
In this device you stand with your left foot forward and hold your dussack with the right arm outstretched in a strike from above, so that the long edge is pointing forward. Then you step forward with your right foot and strike straight toward his head with the long edge. If the opponent does this to you, then step forward with your right foot toward him and strike as well against his strike and thrust your point into his face so that you parry his strike with the short edge, but when you are doing so, make sure to step in with your left foot and reach with your arm over his right arm behind his dussack, so that you have it firmly locked behind your shoulder blade. If your opponent is holding you in the same manner, then place your right foot on the inside behind his left and quickly turn your arm to the left and put it around his neck, and then you grab hold above his chest and pull him over your left foot, that way he will fall over and can do no more.

[43] '''A throwing technique with the dussack'''
 +
 
 +
In this device you stand with your right foot forward and strike a feigned strike from above at your opponent, and at the same time you step forward with your left foot, but as soon as you have pulled back the strike, you move the point in toward his face. If your opponent tries to do the same, and thrusts towards your face, and you are standing in the scale position, then step forward with your left foot and your dussack raised with straight arm over your head, with the point toward the opponent and the long edge up. If you do this, as well as you thrust with the point toward the left side of his face you will parry his thrust to your right. Then you go down into the scale position with your left leg outside his left and hold your dussack in protection with the long edge facing up. Then you grab hold of with your left hand in his left foot that he has stepped forward with, lift it up and strike from below to his arm with the long edge and the outermost part of your dussack, and at the same time you hold your dussack in good defense resting against his right arm, and in this manner you can throw your opponent over. If he were to do the same to you, then grab hold with your left hand in the inside of his wrist, and pull hard toward you, that way you will force him to fall with you if he does not let go.

[44] '''Another technique in the same manner'''
 +
 
 +
In this device, where both of you are using the same technique, and both are standing with left foot forward, and you are holding your dussack with straight arm, so that the long edge is facing up, and you direct your point from your left side into the opponent's face. Then you lower your dussack a little and turn your hand so that the short edge is facing up, and strike twice toward your opponent's head. If your opponent strikes his point into your face, you enter scale position, and pull in your right hand you are holding your dussack with, towards your chest and turn up the point and remove his thrust with the long egde, and if he tries to strike twice to your head, raise the dussack in defence so that the long edge is facing up, and thrust into his face. Then you lower the dussack and grab hold of his left foot that he has forward, and lift it up. Of he tries to strike at your head at the same time you step forward out of your parry and remove his strike you your left, and lay the dussack with the long edge against his right hand. Then you push away from you above, as you lift up below and he will fall to the ground. If you were to be held by your opponent in the same way, then grab hold as quickly as you can with your left hand onto the inside of his right hand, press down and pull against you, and he will fall with you, and you stop him from placing his dussack to your arm, and in the fall you can hit him in the head.

It happens that you are closing with the staff. Step towards him with your right foot on the inside and wind from above from your right shoulder with the right hand outside of his staff. In the winding feel for whether he is soft or hard in the bind. If he is hard against you and holds against your strong, follow with your left leg after and at the same time change through from his left upon his right side and stab him to his face.
 +
 
 +
If he stabs like this to your face and you also stand against him in the bind with your right foot forward, your right hand forward midway on your staff, then set this aside with our foremost point on your right side. Step with your left leg inside and wind your rearmost point to his face. If he sets this aside, then follow after with your right leg and strike him wickedly with your upper point out of the bind to his head.
 +
 
 +
If he strikes similarly from above to your head, set your left leg back and displace this with your foremost point. At the same time, thrust him to his chest. If he displaces this, pull back your thrust against him and stab him in his right arm. Then wind backwards away from him.

When you come to the opponent at the closing, step inward with your left leg and thrust with your staff to his face from your right side. If he displaces this, set your right leg to the rear and let your staff shoot through your hand and strike inward with the long point to his head.
+
It happens at the closing that you step in with your left foot towards him and thrust with your staff from your left side inward between his arms to his left chest. He then stands opposed to you also in the Upper Thrust from his left side with his left foot set forward and thrusts to your chest as well. Then release your left hand from your staff and grip with it to his staff near his point and at the same time wind your point beneath his left shoulder with your right hand. Then step in towards him with your right foot and with that wind both staves at your right side with crosswise arms. Thus you will have him such that he cannot work against you.
  
If he strikes like this to your head, displace this with the portion of your staff between your hands. Then immediately step inward with your right leg and thrust your foremost point into his face. If he sets this aside, change through at his staff, follow outward with your left foot and thrust your rearmost point to his right side.
+
If he has you locked up like this such that you cannot work with your staff, then quickly allow the staff to drop, set your left foot behind his right from the outside, grab with your right hand to the back of his right knee and with your left below his right shoulder well around and across your body. Thus you will with this prevent him from harming you.

If he thrusts to your face like this, displace it, step inward with your right leg towards him and drop into the Absetzen with your foremost point at his neck and your right foot behind his left (as shown in the illustration), then press over away from you into his cheek and yank from below towards you so that he falls to the rear.

[18] '''A Thrown and Pinned position from which He Cannot Escape'''
|
 
'''[11] Two Thrusts to the Upper Openings'''
 
  
When you come to the closing with the opponent step inward with your left leg and hold your arms extended with the staff, your right hand above your head and the point directed towards his chest. He then stands likewise against you in the high thrust position to your upper opening with his left foot set forward. Then follow outward with your right leg, wind with your right arm to your right side and in the winding thrust your long point into his face. Should he perceive the thrust and displace it, change through from his left to his right side and thrust to his chest.
+
Hold yourself as follows at this closing. Strike inward with the ''Sturzhau'' ("plunging strike") towards him, then set your left foot forward and thrust your foremost point to his face.
  
If he thrusts towards you like this, set it aside and follow outward with your right leg and at the same time wind your rearmost point to his face into the Einwinden (in-winding).  Then step with your right foot to the rear and thrust to his chest with your long point. If he displaces this, step inward with your right foot once again and strike with the long point from above to his head.
+
If he thrusts like this to your face when you are opposite him at the closing, then set it aside with a forward wind at your staff, step in with your right foot towards him and thrust your long point to his chest.
  
If he strikes towards you from above like this, set it aside with a winding at your staff and immediately thrust double to his face. With that step back into a good stance.
+
If he thrusts like this to your chest, then step well in towards him and set the thrust aside with the mid-point of your staff between your hands. Then immediately throw your staff outward over your head, put your body in the Wag and grab with both hands to his waist. Then squeeze him to you and lift him well upwards so that you have him in the weak position.  Then immediately throw him down so that you have used him to break your own fall. Knee him to his groin with your right foot between his feet and your left beneath his right. Seize both his hands for by the throat and press hard everywhere to the ground so that you control him.<ref name="illustration"/>

| {{section|page:Cod.10825 181r.jpg|German|lbl=181r}}
+
If you have thus been violently thrown down and controlled, quickly take heed that your hand is not locked up, but rather stop him with either hand in his face, the thumb under the chin and the other fingers beneath the eye sockets. Grab hence strongly with either hand. Thrust him strongly to the groin. Extend a foot that is unencumbered and at the same time yank him against you so that you give him a good one to the groin. With these three grips you can bring him to the mark.

'''[12] A Long Point against a Bind'''
+
[19] '''A parry with half staff position on both sides'''
  
When you go to close with the opponent, strike in freely from the Sturzhau (plunging strike) double towards him so that you come before the opponent standing with your left foot forward, your right hand at your hip and your staff’s point opposite his face. Then immediately follow outward with your right leg and thrust your long point to his throat.
+
This is what you do when entering before your opponent: if he is standing with his right foot forward and thrusts at your face, do thus: stand with your right foot forward, hold the staff with the arms outstretched over your head, step forward with your left foot and turn in the back end of the staff into his face, and you have parried his thrust. You can do these techniques from both sides with both full or half staff position, by turning the staff both before he attacks and after.
 
+
|  
If the thrusts to your throat like this and you stand with your left foot forward in the bind against him, take it away with your foremost point and immediately follow outward with your right foot and strike to his head, and in doing so, wind your staff around in front of his neck. Then step with your left foot in front of his right, press over and away from you and strike him from above so you can take advantage of his weak position.
+
| {{section|page:Cod.10825 164r.png|German|lbl=164r}}
 
+
|
If he intends to weaken you like this, follow outward with your left foot, take away his point with your staff and immediately wind your foremost point to his face. If he displaces this, change through and thrust him once again to the face from the previously described stance.
+
| {{section|page:Cod.10825 164r.png|Latin|lbl=164r}}
 
 
If he thrusts you double to the face like this, set it aside with your foremost point and wind the rearmost point to his chest. With that yank yourself back into a good stance.

'''[13] An Inverted Strike against an Abnemen'''
+
[20] '''A strike with a parry'''
  
It happens that at the closing you strike towards him with a doubled Prusthau (chest strike) as you come to him. Then step in with your right foot towards him and at the same time release the staff to quickly pass over and strike his head with an inverted hand. Then once again grip the staff with your left and wind your foremost point into his face.
+
Do as follows in this play: strike with long staff toward the head of the opponent and step forward with your left foot. If your opponent comes at you in this manner, then hold the staff in half staff thrust and raise it high in the air. Step forward with your left foot and parry his strike in the middle of your staff, then turn the back end between his both hands and thrust him in the face, and hit him in the head with the front end, whereby you may step away from him in good defence.
 
+
|  
If you then stand like this against him with your left foot forward and with your staff extended and the point directed at the ground, take aside his strike with the portion of the staff between your hands (as shown in the illustration), step in with your right leg and wind your short point in your right hand to his face. If he displaces this, step to the rear again with your right foot and thrust your long point to his face.
+
| {{section|page:Cod.10825 164v.png|German|lbl=164v}}
 
+
|
If he thrusts to your face double like this, take it away with your foremost point and immediately step in with your left foot and thrust your rearmost point double to his face.  Should he perceive this double thrust and displace it, strike him quickly with your long point to his right side. If he displaces this as well, wind double to his chest. With that step back into a good stance.

'''[14] A Gewicht Stab against a Groin Stab'''
+
[21] '''An high and a low bind in half staff position'''
  
When you come to close with the opponent, step in with your left leg and hold your staff with your right hand above your head and your left hand well forward on your staff and stab to his left elbow so that you capture his gewicht (sleeve?).  
+
this is what you do when fencing in towards your opponent: when you both bind from below or from above against each other, then step forward with your left foot, and thrust with the back end to his face. If he parries, then strike him in the head with the front end. If he does this, on the other hand, then parry with half and whole staff and strike him as soon as you see him open.
+
|  
If he thrusts like this to the sleeve of your left arm and you likewise have your staff in your right hand above your head and your left foot set forward, set this aside upwards from upon your staff and immediately thrust to his groin. Thus you hit him with your thrust below his, which is in vain. Then immediately follow inward with your right leg and wind your rearmost point to his face.
+
| {{section|page:Cod.10825 165r.png|German|lbl=165r}}

|
If he winds like this to your face, set it aside with your foremost point. Then hold your staff directly in front of your face and immediately step in with your right foot towards him and strike his staff out of his foremost hand with your rearmost point and thrust with your foremost point to his face. If he sets this aside, yank your right leg back and shoot your long point to his chest. With that step back in to a good stance.

'''[15] A position in the Wag against a Gewalt Stoss'''
+
[22] '''A parry against a strike'''
 
 
It happens at the closing that you stand in this position with the feet equally together, your staff pointed at the ground, the left hand mid-way on the staff, the right hand at your right side and present yourself with your body in the Wag (balanced stance or position). Then immediately step in with your left leg and thrust your long point to his chest.
 
 
 
If he thrusts like this to your chest and you stand with your left foot forward, your staff at your left leg pointed at the ground and your right hand over your head near your point, then step in with your right leg and set this aside with your foremost point from your right hand. Then immediately step again with your right foot to the rear and thrust with the Gewalt Stoss (power thrust) with your strong and with your long point to his face.
 
  
If he thrusts with the strong like this to your face, step in with your left foot in the triangle so that you avoid his thrust. Then immediately step in with your right leg towards him and release your staff to pass over and strike his head. Then grip your staff once again with your left hand and wind double away from him back into a good stance.
+
step forward with your left foot and then another step further with your right foot and thrust to his face, so that you remove his strike. If he removes your strike in this manner, then step forward with your left foot and turn in the point from below toward his face. If he parries, then step back and strike him in the head, and thrust him with long staff in the face.

[1] '''The first two bindings with the pike on the weak and the strong '''
  
|-
+
Do this device thus: hold your pike on your left side, and stand with your left foot forward. Stretch out your right hand holding the back end of your pike on your right side and take hold of it with the left hand. Then, step forward with your right foot and thrust to his face. If he attacks you thus, and you then stand with your left foot forward, holding your pike with at level with your left knee, and the right hand by your right leg, then parry his thrust with the front end of your pike, change through, step forward with the right foot, and thrust to the right side of his chest from our right side. Should he parry this, let the tip sink to the ground, step back with the right foot and lift up the pike in front of your face wih the right hand over your head, place it back on the side and thrust from your right side to his left. If he thrusts at you thus, then parry his thrust, step back with the right foot and swing the pike up, and go to the strong, ie you direct the pike towards his face, and sense if he presses his pike hard or loose against yours on your right side. Then grab the pike with in the front end again, step forward with your right foot and thrust to his face on his right side. If he parries, then step back with the right foot again, lower the point to the ground, and lift it over your head in good protection, as you back away from him.

'''[17] Two Upper Thrusts to the Chest from the Left Side'''
 
  
It happens at the closing that you step in with your left foot towards him and thrust with your staff from your left side inward between his arms to his left chest. He then stands opposed to you also in the Upper Thrust from his left side with his left foot set forward and thrusts to your chest as well. Then release your left hand from your staff and grip with it to his staff near his point and at the same time wind your point beneath his left shoulder with your right hand. Then step in towards him with your right foot and with that wind both staves at your right side with crosswise arms. Thus you will have him such that he cannot work against you.

 +
|
 +
[2] '''The weak and strong on the pikes at first contact '''
  
If he has you locked up like this such that you cannot work with your staff, then quickly allow the staff to drop, set your left foot behind his right from the outside, grab with your right hand to the back of his right knee and with your left below his right shoulder well around and across your body. Thus you will with this prevent him from harming you.
+
When you engage in fencing with the pike in this device, you do thus: stand with your right foot forward and direct the point towards his face, and keep your left hand by the left leg. Then, step forward with your left foot and thrust towards his throat. If your opponent on the other hand attacks you thus, and you then stand with your right foot forward and the right hand by the right knee, and your left hand above your left leg, then do as follows: move his thrust aside to your right with your front end, step forward with left foot1 and thrust to his face. Should he parry, you change through underneath, and thrust to his chest. Then, you step forward again with your right foot and lift the pike up into free position, ie holding it level with your head, either to the right or left of you, and then thrust to his face. If he attacks you thus, then step back with the left foot and parry with a crossed changing guard to your left. Take a step bak further with your right foot and turn the pike out of the changing guard to your right and thrust again at the same spot. Then you lower the tip raise your right hand above your head, holding the pike in front of your face in good protection. Furthermore, should your opponent use the same double thrust against you, then quickly parry between your hands, step forward with your left foot and thrust to his chest, then you may retreat from him unharmed.

'''[18] A Thrown and Pinned position from which He Cannot Escape'''
+
[3] '''Right and left open guard'''  
  
Hold yourself as follows at this closing. Strike inward with the Sturzhau (plunging strike) towards him, then set your left foot forward and thrust your foremost point to his face.
+
The right open guard is performed thus: stand with your right foot forward and the point on the ground, left hand on back end and right hand by your right knee. From here, you step forward with your left foot, raise the point and thrust to his face. If he tries to do this to you, and you then stand with your left foot forward, with left hand by your left knee, and the right hand on the back end, and leave the open guard and enter into the crossed changer, and parry as you take a step back with the left foot. Then raise the pike into free standing with feet together, and the pike resting on your left elbow. Step forward again with the left foot, and thrust hard against your opponent’s face. If your opponent parries, step forward again with your right foot, and thrust to his left side. If he does this to you, then push away his thrust with the front end of your pike, from the left side to your right, and quickly thereafter you step forward with your right foot and thrust to his groin. Should he parry, you step forward with the left foot, raise the pike above your head and thrust to his face. If he does the same double thrust to you, then parry with the front end, change through from his left to his right and thrust to his face or chest. Then, turn to your right in open guard with right foot forward and withdraw from your opponent in good defence.
 
+
| {{paget|page:MS Dresd.C.93|195r|png}}
If he thrusts like this to your face when you are opposite him at the closing, then set it aside with a forward wind at your staff, step in with your right foot towards him and thrust your long point to his chest.
+
| {{section|page:Cod.10825 167r.png|German|lbl=167r}}
 
+
|  
If he thrusts like this to your chest, then step well in towards him and set the thrust aside with the mid-point of your staff between your hands. Then immediately throw your staff outward over your head, put your body in the Wag and grab with both hands to his waist. Then squeeze him to you and lift him well upwards so that you have him in the weak position.  Then immediately throw him down so that you have used him to break your own fall. Knee him to his groin with your right foot between his feet and your left beneath his right.

If you have thus been violently thrown down and controlled, quickly take heed that your hand is not locked up, but rather stop him with either hand in his face, the thumb under the chin and the other fingers beneath the eye sockets. Grab hence strongly with either hand. Thrust him strongly to the groin. Extend a foot that is unencumbered and at the same time yank him against you so that you give him a good one to the groin. With these three grips you can bring him to the mark.

[4] '''Free standing against the bar guard '''  
| '''[19] '''
+
 
|
+
When entering before your opponent, perform the free standing thus: stand upright with your left side turned toward him, and hold your pike resting on your left arm with the point towards your opponent, and your right hand on the back end. From here, you step forward with the right foot, and thrust as hard as you can towards his body. If your opponent comes at you this way while you are standing in the crossed changer, right foot forward, then pull back your right foot, and parry his thrust to your right. Then, step forward again with your right foot, and thrust to his face. If he parries, then you step further with your left foot, change through from your right side to his left, and thrust to his chest. If he does this to you, then parry with the front end of your pike and, step forward with your left foot and thrust him in the chest as well. If he parries, and you are then standing with your left foot forward, then parry with your front end, step forward with the right leg, and thrust to his face. Then step back again and lower the point to the ground, raise your right hand over your head and the pike before your face. Should he then come after you, then execute an as long thrust as you can at him and move away from him, well defended.

|
+
Enter the simple changer as follows: step forward with your left leg, and hold your pike with the point to the ground, your left hand by your left knee and your right on the back end to your right. From here, step forward with your right foot and thrust to your opponent’s left side. If your opponent attacks you in this manner, and you are then standing in middle pike position with your left foot forward, with both hands at chest level on your right side, then step forward with your right leg and parry with the middle of your pike, then step forward again and thrust a half pike thrust to his face, and he can do no more against you. If he attacks you thus, and you cannot parry with your front end, then change through and pull back the pike, that way you are again on equal terms with your opponent and may fight with him. Now, you step forward quickly and thrust from middle pike position wherever you see him open. Should he parry, then step forward with your left and thrust to his chest. If he thrusts at your openings in the same manner mentioned, then take two steps back in crossed changer, and take hold back end of the pike with your right hand, and from here you seek openings from the weak and the strong, and from one side to the other. Should he parry your thrusts, then wind in a long thrust to his face from your right hand, and withdraw from him protecting yourself as well as you can.

[8] '''A reversed thrust against a take off/parry'''
  
|-
+
This manner is how you perform a reversed thrust: stand with your left leg forward, holding your left hand by your left knee, and the right on the back end of your pike between your legs, point directed towards your opponent. Then step forward with your right and pretend to thrust to his left side(german text says right), but instead you change grip and thrust a reversed thrust. If he does that to you however, while you are standing in a parry, then step forward with your left lower the tip to the ground raise the back end up in front of your face with straight arms, and remove his thrusts above and below, from one side the other. Having parried thus, then step forward with your right, raise your pike you your right, and turn in a thrust to your opponent’s throat. If he parries, then change through from your right to his left, and thrust to his face. If he sees it and parries, then step forward with your left foot and thrust to his left side. If he uses the same attack, and you are then standing with your right foot forward, then turn your right hand to your left and parry thus. Then enter the strong position, step forward with your right foot and thrust to his upper opening, and you may step back from your opponent well protected.

When entering before your opponent to fence with pikes, then stand with your left foot forward, and grab hold of your pike in the middle, with the most part of the pike hanging behind you, arms well outstretched, left hand in front, and right hand behind your head. From here you take a step forward, and thrust to the opponent’s chest between both is arms. If he attacks you thus, and you are standing with your left foot facing him, then pull it back and parry between your arms.

If he parries and comes after you, then change through twice, and step back, so that you hold the back end of your pike in your right hand. Furthermore, should your opponent use the same technique against you, then thrust a long thrust to his groin, and step forward with your right, and thrust to his chest. Should he parry while you are holding your pike extended befor you, then change through from his left to his right side, and turn in a thrust into his face. Should he parry this as sell, then step forward with your left and thrust to his left side as you move away from him well protected.

If he is loose, then let your pike shoot back through your hands step forward with your right and thrust to his throat. If your opponent does this, and you are standing with your left foot forward, left hand by your left knee and right hand on the back end by your right leg, then step forward with said (right) leg and parry his thrust between your arms, then quickly pull back your right leg and turn your pike to the right, and as you do so pull your pike through the hands, this way you will again come on equal terms with your opponent. Then, change through from his left side to his right, and thrust to his face. If your opponent does this however, then parry with the front end to your right, pull back your right foot and shoot the point in from his right side into his face, and step away from him, well protected.

Perform the device in this manner: stand with your left leg forward, pike held above your head with the right hand on the back end, and the left in the middle, point directed toward the ground. If he then thrusts out of the strong, ie with the point directed to your face, sensing you pressing hard against his pike, and steps forward with his left leg, then parry to the right and left and, lift the front end of your pike, step forward with your right foot, turn your pike through and thrust to his face. If you see him do this to you, then step back with your left foot and, change grip with your right hand on the pike and turn it to your right side, you will parry the attack. Then, leave the bind and thrust to the right side of his face.

[12] '''A bind followed by a run-in and a throw '''
  
|-
+
If you wish to perform this device well: then step with your left foot forward and bind with the weak against your opponent’s right side. Then swiftly change through and thrust him in the left side. If you see him coming at you this way, then parry in the middle of your pike, step forward with your right foot and, raise your arms above your head, and thrust to his face or chest as hard as you can. If he does this, though, then let go of your pik and turn away his pike from your chest with your left hand, step in quickly, and grab the middle of his pike. If your opponent has grabbed hold of your pike in this manner, then let go with your left hand and grab him by the weak point by his right elbow. Then step with your right foot behind both is feet, grab hold with your right hand in the weak point behind his left elbow, cross your arms forcefully, so that you can shoot your head through between them. Then, if you turn this way, you can lift him up on your back without any risk of harm, and carry him away however you like.

| <p>[1] '''Two High Cuts with the Scythe'''</p>
 +
 
 +
Present yourself like so in this piece: When you both are going together, stand with your left foot ahead and hold your scythe on your right side with your left hand at the lower grip, your right on the middle one. At that moment cut to his left side, in around toward his right arm. If he cuts at you like that and you also are standing with your left foot toward him, and you too are holding your scythe on your right side with your left hand at the lower grip, your right at the middle one, then leap in a triangle and set his cut off outside in front with your scythe on your right side. Now step in there out of triangle with your left leg and cut at his neck. If he cuts high at you in that way, then step backwards with your left leg and parry his cut outside in front on your scythe. In the same moment, nimbly step in there again and wind your scythe behind your head and out from there with a cut from your left side to the right side of his head, and with that, step back away from him.

| <p>[2] '''Two Low Cuts'''</p>
  
|-
+
If you are both coming together, then conduct yourself like this in this piece: Stand with your right foot in front and hold your scythe in a low cut with your right hand at your middle grip, your left at your lower one. At that moment step doubly in a triangle and cut to his right arm from behind your head so that your arms come crosswise one over the other. If he cuts at you like this, and you also stand with your right foot toward him, and you hold your scythe in a low cut, your right hand at your middle grip, your left at the lower one, then go up out of your low cut and take his cut away on the outside of your scythe on your right side. At that moment, step in a triangle on your left side with your left leg and wind your scythe behind your head and back out to his head, so that your arms come crosswise, one over the other. In the same moment, step back from him with a good parry.

Hold yourself like this with this piece: When you are both closing together, stand with your left foot in front and hold your scythe on your right side, with your [left]* hand at your lower grip, your right at your middle one. At that moment, follow in after with your right leg and cut around his body with your scythe toward his right side. If he cuts a middle cut to you like this, and you also stand with your left foot toward him, and you also hold your scythe on your right side with your right hand at your middle grip, your left at your lower one, then step in there in a triangle with your right leg and wind your scythe behind your head and out again so that your arms come cross-wise over each other with a cut toward the right side of his body. If he cuts at you with a middle cut like this, then go inside to him with your scythe at his scythe. Shove strongly with it away from you on your right side. In that moment, step with your left leg to his right side and cut to his head. Step away from him with it.

If you are both going together, then hold yourself like this in this piece: Stand with your left foot in front and hold your scythe in front of your body, toward the man, with your right hand at the middle grip, your left at your lower one. In that moment quickly cut toward his head. If he cuts high to you like this, and you are also standing with your left foot toward him, and you are holding your scythe high in front of your face with your right hand at your middle grip, your left at your lower one, then take away his high cut with your haft on your left side. If he has taken you away in this manner, then wind through underneath and quickly cut* to him with the point of your scythe toward his head. If he wishes to set you aside and cut at you like this, then go up with your scythe and take him away on the outside your scythe on your right side. At that moment, cut toward the left side of his head. With that, step backwards from him.

Conduct yourself like this in this piece: When you are closing with each other, stand with your right foot in front and hold your scythe straight to the man with your left hand at your lower grip, your right at your middle one. At that moment, cut around his body toward his right leg*. If he cuts low at you like this, and you are also standing with your left foot toward him, and you hold your scythe toward the man with cross-wise arms, then take it away below with your haft on your left side. At that moment, quickly cut toward his neck. If he cuts high at you like this, then step around on your right side with your left leg and take away his cut with your hilt on your right side. In that moment cut toward his left (forward) leg. If he cuts low at you in this manner, then set your lower grip of your scythe before your left leg and step with your right to your left and with that, take his low cut away. In the same moment, go up and cut toward his neck. Step back away from him with it.

 +
 
 +
If the two of you are going together, then conduct yourself like this in this piece: stand with your right foot ahead and hold your scythe toward the man in a high cut, with your right hand at your middle grip, your left at your lower one. In that moment cut outside to his right arm. If he cuts high at you like this, and you are also standing with your right foot toward him, and you hold your scythe toward the man with your right hand at your middle grip, your left at your lower one, then set him aside with your lower grip. At that moment cut at him from below to the inside of his right arm. If he cuts at you from below in this way, then exchange your left hand from your lower grip to the middle one, and your right to where your left stood at the lower grip, thus you escape from his cut. In that moment, quickly cut at him from underneath toward his right arm and with that, step back away from him in a good parry with your scythe.

Conduct yourself like so in this piece if you are both coming together: Stand with your left foot forward and hold your scythe straight before your body, with your right hand at your middle grip, your left at your lower one. In that moment, quickly cut toward his right arm. If he cuts at you like this, and you stand with your right foot toward him, and you hold your scythe toward the man with your left hand at your lower grip, your right at your middle one, then go up with your scythe and take his cut away with it on your right side. At that moment, cut toward his right arm with your scythe. If he cuts at you like this, then take that away on your haft, between your two hands. In that instant, let your left hand loose from your lower grip and step back away with your left leg, thus you escape out from his cut. Next, grab hold of your lower grip again with your left hand and step around and in again with your left leg. With that, cut to the right side of his neck and step back from him.

If he cuts low to you like this, and you stand with your left foot toward him, and you hold your scythe high on your right side, your left hand at your lower grip, your right at your middle one, then go to him with your scythe around the left side of his neck. Pull him to you with it, thus you are free from his low cut. If he cuts high at you like this and pulls you to him, then let your left hand go from your lower grip, put it on his haft and shove strongly upward, thus you take away his high cut. In that moment, grab hold of your lower grip again with your left hand and step back with your right leg, thus you are able to cut his left foot away.

| <p>[9] '''A Taking-Away against a High Cut'''</p>
 +
 
 +
Present yourself like this in this piece: If you are both coming together, stand with your right foot ahead and hold your scythe extended toward the man, with your left hand at the lower grip, your right at the middle one. At that very moment, cut toward his head. If he cuts high to you like this, and you also stand with your right foot toward him, and you hold your scythe extended in front of your face, with your left hand at the lower grip, your right at the middle one, then take it away with the haft of your scythe on your right side. In the same instant step in a triangle with your right leg and cut him with your scythe behind and around your head to the right side of his neck. If he cuts at you from above like this, then go against him again and take away his cut to the outside on your scythe. At the same moment, follow in after with your left leg and cut toward his head. Step back away from him with this.

 +
 
 +
When you both are coming together, then present yourself like so in this piece: Stand with your left foot forward and hold your scythe extended before your body toward the man, with your right hand at the lower grip on your right side, your left at your middle one. At that moment, quickly cut toward the right side of his neck. If he cuts high at you like this, and you are standing with your right foot toward him, and you hold the scythe in a low cut, with your left hand at your lower grip in front of your face, your right at your middle one, then take away his high cut with the haft of your scythe on your right side. In that moment, cut between both his legs to his crotch. If he cuts you from below in this way, then be sure to go down and force his scythe away with the haft of your scythe, thus you take away his shot to your crotch with it. In that instant go up again with your scythe and cut toward the right side of his neck. With this, cut it to the ground.

Item: Do like this: in this play, when you come together, stand with your left foot forward and hold your flail with your left hand at the lower end, and your flail-head and staff next to each other in your right hand. In this play, strike him with your flail-head to the right side of his head. If he strikes you in this way, and you are standing also with your left foot stand against him, and hold your flail with your left hand by the back end, and with your flail-head and staff beside each other in your right hand, displace his strike (lit. “take his strike off”) with your flail-head to your left side. Simultaneously exchange your left hand in place of your right and follow with your right leg in and strike him with the back end against his left arm. If he strikes at you in this way, hang with your staff on your right side; displace his strike with that; simultaneously step in a triangle and strike him with your flail-head to his head. With that, step back from him.

Item: When you come together, so hold yourself like this: With this play stand with your right foot forward and hold your flail with your right hand in the middle of your staff, your left hand by the back end. Meanwhile, strike him with your flail-head to his left arm. If he strikes you in this way from above, and you also stand against him with your right foot and hold your flail with your right hand on the flail-head, your left on the lower end by the chest, then displace him with your staff to your left side and, with that, strike him to his neck on his left side. If he strikes you from above in this way, then displace him with the staff of your flail to the left side, simultaneously step with your left leg twice on the triangle and strike him with your flail-head to the right side of his body. If he sets that aside, then strike him with the lower end (of your staff) to the left side of his head; with that, step back from him.

Present yourself like so in this piece with the javelin: Stand with your left foot ahead and hold it with both hands on your right side, your front end or point toward the man. If he then also stands with his left foot toward you and holds his sword overhead in a high cut against you, and he wishes to cut in at your head, then quickly stab at his body. If he stabs at you like this, then step backwards with your left leg and cut with your sword to the left side of the shaft of his javelin with the Zwerch so that you take his thrust away with it. If he cuts opposing you like this and takes your thrust away from you, then follow in after with your right leg and thrust at him with the front end of your javelin toward the right side of his body. With this, step back from him.

| <p>[2] '''The Halberd against the Sword'''</p>
'''[2] '''
+
 
 +
When you both are coming together, then present yourself like so in this piece with your halberd: Stand with your left foot forward and hold your halberd extended in front of your face with your right hand on the back end, pointed toward the man, your left at the middle, high on your left side. At that moment quickly cut toward his head. If he cuts from above at you like this and you also stand with left foot toward him, and you hold your sword on your right shoulder, the pommel in your left hand and pointed toward the man, then cut to his halberd with the long edge. Thus you take his cut away with it. At the same moment step in a triangle and cut to the left side of his head with the long edge. If he cuts from above at you like this, then step twice with a chasing and stab him twice from below and above as you step away from him with it.

Hold yourself like this with this piece: When you are both closing together, stand with your left foot in front and hold your spear on your right side with your left hand ahead toward the man, your right behind your right leg on your spear. At that moment quickly stab at him toward his face. If he stabs high at you like that, and you stand with your right foot toward him and you hold your sword in the Change on your left side, the point toward the ground, then go up with your sword out of the Change and with that strike to his spear. Thus you take away his thrust on your right side. If he has cut at your spear like this, then pull your spear downwards. In that moment, go up again so that you have your spear well out front in the middle and stab him through the left side of his body. If he has stabbed you through your body, then cut strongly to him with your long edge toward his head, and this strike must be done quickly or else it is wasted.

If you are both going together, then hold yourself like this in this piece: Stand with your right foot forward and hold your halberd with your right hand on the lower end at your right hip, your left in the middle toward the man, the point up. At that moment, stab him in his face with your forward end. If he stabs you high like this, and you also stand with your left foot toward him, well in the balance, and you hold your sword with both hands on the haft on your left side, the point toward the man, then plant your long edge on his halberd and set him aside with it. In that moment, step in with your right leg and go up over your head with your sword with crossed arms and cut high to his head with your long edge. If he cuts high at you like this, then wind your halberd behind your head and back around and strike him with the blade of your halberd toward his head.

Conduct yourself like this in this piece: When you are closing with each other, stand with your right foot in front and hold your dussack in your right hand toward the man, your left hand on your left hip. In that moment, quickly cut toward his head. If he cuts high at you like this, and you are standing with your left foot toward him, then oppose his dussack with crossed arms, restraining his cut with yours, away to your right side. At that moment, follow in with your right leg and let your sword quickly overrun and cut toward the left side of his head. If he cuts high at you like this, then take that away with your dussack on your left side. In that moment, leap to his right side with your left foot and cut to his right arm. If he cuts to your right arm like this, then hang well to your right side and parry his cut with your sword. In that moment, step in there with your left leg and cut to his forward leg.

If he cuts from above at you like this, and you stand with your left foot toward him, then quickly step in there with your right leg and parry his cut with your dagger on your right arm, close to the grip on his blade. In that moment, catch hold of his right arm with your left hand, (going) inside over his handle. Pull him to your left side and stab at his face. If he thrusts high at you like this, then let your left hand loose from the pommel of your sword, take hold of his left and shove it upward. Thus you take away his thrust. At that moment, step back with your left leg, yank your right hand to you, and take hold of your pommel again with your left. In that moment, cut to his head and step back away from him with it.

[1] '''A cut from above with the sickle from both sides'''
 +
 
 +
If you both approach each other, and hold the sickle correctly, if you put your right foot in front and hold the sickle in the right hand  next to the left side of your head, and stretch the opened left hand towards your opponent, and from there follow with the left [foot], you cut his head from his right side. But if the opponent turns at you in the same way, [while you are] standing with the left foot in front, holding the sickle in the right hand, holding [it] next to the head down at the left shoulder, with<ref>Literally: put</ref> the left on the right [hand], then deflect with your sickle your opponent to your right side. Then, if you have grabbed the right [hand] of the opponent with the left hand, you wound his head on the right side. But if the opponent comes at you in the same way from above, if you quickly grab his right [hand], you can in this way turn away his cuts. And from there, you can immediately, if you pull the right [hand], try to cut the left leg of the opponent standing in front. But if he tries the same, then push the right elbow of the opponent more inwards with your left hand, if you then pull back the right hand, you can hit his head with the point of the sickle and pull back again.

[2] '''A low and a high cut'''
 +
 
 +
In mutual battle, if like an athlete you prepare yourself for the fight, you will put your right foot in front, and opposite the opponent hold the sickle with the right hand, but hide the left arm under the right arm, and if from there you make a pass with the left foot,<ref>Literally: pull back the left foot</ref> you will by cutting from the low position stop the right arm of the opponent. But if in the same way you place your right foot opposite him, and hold the sickle with the right hand in the manner of the high cut, and the left under the right arm, then you will displace his attempt to your left side with your sickle, and meanwhile, after you have with the left hand grabbed the right hand of the opponent, from the left side of your opponent cut his neck with the sickle. But if he comes at you in the same way from above, you will again grab his right hand with your left hand, and if he makes an attempt, displace this to your left side, and hit his left arm with the sickle, and from there again pull backwards. But if the opponent pulls back, you will with two steps press on to threaten the opponent and cut his head.

+
In this fight, when you come closer to the opponent, you will stretch your right arm, and with the right hand hold the sickle opposite him, but hold the left [hand] on the left hip, and then, after you have followed with the left foot, you will hit the head of the opponent with the sickle. But if he comes at you in the same manner, [while you are] standing with the right foot in front, and if you hold the sickle against the opponent with the right hand and in the same manner hold the left hip with the left hand, you will displace his attempt to your right side. If from there you connect the sickle with his right arm, you will quickly pull him towards you. But if he wants to pull you towards him in the same way, if then with the left hand you grab his right, and to your right side displace the attempt of the opponent, hit his head immediately on the left side and from there pull back. But if the opponent likewise pulls back again, you will threaten him sharply by following him, and hitting the right hand of the opponent with the sickle.

'''[1] A cut from above with the sickle from both sides'''
 
 
 
If you both approach each other, and hold the sickle correctly, if you put your right foot in front and hold the sickle in the right hand next to the left side of your head, and stretch the opened left hand towards your opponent, and from there follow with the left [foot], you cut his head from his right side. But if the opponent turns at you in the same way, [while you are] standing with the left foot in front, holding the sickle in the right hand, holding [it] next to the head down at the left shoulder, with<ref>Literally: put</ref> the left on the right [hand], then deflect with your sickle your opponent to your right side. Then, if you have grabbed the right [hand] of the opponent with the left hand, you wound his head on the right side. But if the opponent comes at you in the same way from above, if you quickly grab his right [hand], you can in this way turn away his cuts. And from there, you can immediately, if you pull the right [hand], try to cut the left leg of the opponent standing in front. But if he tries the same, then push the right elbow of the opponent more inwards with your left hand, if you then pull back the right hand, you can hit his head with the point of the sickle and pull back again.

[4] '''A cut from above and one from below'''
 
 
In mutual battle, if like an athlete you prepare yourself for the fight, you will put your right foot in front, and opposite the opponent hold the sickle with the right hand, but hide the left arm under the right arm, and if from there you make a pass with the left foot,<ref>Literally: pull back the left foot</ref> you will by cutting from the low position stop the right arm of the opponent. But if in the same way you place your right foot opposite him, and hold the sickle with the right hand in the manner of the high cut, and the left under the right arm, then you will displace his attempt to your left side with your sickle, and meanwhile, after you have with the left hand grabbed the right hand of the opponent, from the left side of your opponent cut his neck with the sickle. But if he comes at you in the same way from above, you will again grab his right hand with your left hand, and if he makes an attempt, displace this to your left side, and hit his left arm with the sickle, and from there again pull backwards. But if the opponent pulls back, you will with two steps press on to threaten the opponent and cut his head.

In this manner, you can adapt to the opponent, when you stand up straight with both legs together, and with the right hand hold the sickle high, with a straight arm, next to the head, but place your left hand in the same way on the left hip, and if from there you step in with the right leg, you will hit the head of the opponent with the sickle. But if he takes the same position against you, [you] standing with the right leg in front, and with the sickle in the right hand next to the leg that stands in front, and the left hand in the same manner on the left hip, you will with a raised sickle displace his strike to your right side. If from there you follow with the left, you will hit the right leg of the opponent standing in front. But if it happens that he, from the low strike hits you in the same manner, you will with your left hand grab his right elbow from the outside, pull it towards you, and if you place the sickle on the right shoulder of he opponent, you will put him down by cutting.

To the aforementioned manner, you can adapt in this way: if you remember to place the right foot in front and to hold the sickle against the opponent with the right hand, if you connect the left [hand] with the left hip, you can then cut his right arm with the sickle. But if he approaches you in the same way, while you hold your right foot in front and against the enemy hold the sickle with the right, then place your left arm onto his right arm from the the front, and displace the cut of the opponent towards the left side: if you grab the aforementioned hand strongly, from there you will wound his right arm with the sickle. But if he uses this, then with the left hand grab the right of the opponent, make a pass inwards with the left foot, and if you lift his right above the<ref>German: his</ref> head, and immediately pull back your right again, you will hit his groin with the sickle. But if the opponent also uses this, bring the left hand up over his own right arm,<ref>German: grab with your left hand from below outside over his right arm</ref> and if you then in that manner pull him hard towards you, you can break the opponent’s arm, and from there cut his neck and pull back again from the opponent.

In this manner you will behave in a mutual fight: remember to place your left leg in front and to hold the sickle high with the right hand opposite the opponent, and you will hit part of his neck or his left side. But if the opponent in the same manner attempts to cut, you, standing with the right foot in front against him, will then hinder the right hand of the opponent with your left hand, and if you then lift it high, you will in that manner displace the enemy cut. And from there you will not omit to hit the left side of the neck of the opponent with the sickle. But if he will come at you from above, you will with the left hand hinder his right elbow from the inside, and if you pull that back hard towards your left side, and so displace the opponent with force, if you then immediately follow up with right towards the inside, for him towards the left side, and immediately pull your right hand towards you, you will cut the left side of the enemy body with the sickle, and from there make sure that you pull back from the opponent safely.

But if he in turn tries to hit your head, then grab his right hand with force with the left hand, and if you displace that to the left side, you will deflect the cut of the opponent. And if you have finished this situation, then quickly reach with the sickle to his right leg, [which is] placed in front, and from there pull back.

But if he attempts (to hit) you in the same manner, [while you are] standing with he left foot in front, you will again lift the sickle with the right hand, and with the centre of the sickle block his attempt, and immediately after that with the left hand attack his right elbow by pushing against it, and then lifting him strongly upward: and if you then suddenly pull the right [hand] towards you, after you have followed with the right foot, you will cut the neck of the opponent from the right side. But if the opponent attempts the same against you, you will with the left hand grab his right on the inside, and if you lift it, you will deflect the opponent’s idea against you. But if you are deflected in the same way by the opponent, you will immediately attempt to cut his left foot, [which is] placed in front, and when you pull him towards you by pulling, it is possible to injure him by cutting, or to throw him.

[11] '''Two cuts on the outside'''
  
 
In the fight you will act in this manner: put your right leg in front, and hold the sickle with the right hand opposite the opponent, but put your left against your left hip, and from this position you cut the enemy’s neck from outside on the right side with the sickle. But if he uses this against you, [while you are] standing with the left foot in front, and are also holding the sickle in the right hand opposite the opponent, then grab the right elbow of the opponent with the left hand from the outside, and if you sharply displace that towards your right side, you will deflect the cut of the opponent, and from there you will make sure that you cut his right elbow from the outside with the sickle. But if the opponent attempts the same against you, you will not neglect to grab the right arm of the opponent with left hand and in that way displace his cut. And from there you will with force attempt to cut the left leg of the opponent, [which is] placed in front, after pulling back the right [hand] towards you. But if he has come at you in the same way, you will displace him with force with the left hand against his right arm. But if the opponent displaces you in the same way, you will suddenly pull back your right, and if from there you injure his head by cutting, pull back from him again.

In this fight, when you arrive at the opponent, you will remember to place your right foot in front, and if you hold the sickle high with the right hand against the opponent, you will hit his head. But if the opponent acts against you in the same manner [while you are] standing with the right foot in front, and you in turn are holding the sickle in the right hand in the manner of the middle cut, then with the left hand grab the right arm of the opponent at the front, next to the hand, and if you lift him upwards in that way, you will displace the cut from above. And quickly you will wound the right side of the opponent with the sickle. But if you understand that he attacks you in the same manner, then with the left hand hinder the right elbow of the opponent from the outside, and if you push the opponent strongly away towards your right side, you will deceive his middle cut, and meanwhile follow with the left foot and hit his right leg, [which is] placed in front, and from there again pull back from the opponent.

You will adapt to the opponent from this fight in this way, that you put your right foot in front and hold the sickle with a stretched arm against the opponent, and you will make sure that you cut his head with force. And if he in his turn attempts to wound you, then you [standing] opposite him with the right leg in front, and the sickle held in the right hand in the manner of the cut from above, cover the right elbow of the opponent with the left hand from the outside, and if you then lift this, you will lift away his cut from above. Meanwhile you will cut the right arm of the opponent from above next to the hand. But if he attempts to injure you in the same manner, you will place your left hand on the chest of the opponent between both his arms, from the right side, and in this manner you will push him away, and from his cut you will safely release yourself. But meanwhile, after you have pulled towards you with your right hand, you will cut the right arm of the opponent, and from there pull back from him again.

If it will be necessary to adapt to this action in this manner, you will put your right foot in front, and hold the sickle with the right hand, in front of your face opposite the opponent, but also place the left [hand] against the left hip. Meanwhile you will place the left foot outside behind the right of the opponent, and in the manner of a cut from his right side connect the sickle around the loin to hit. But if he attacks you in approximately the same manner, you in your turn will use the learned method [a cut around the loin from the right], and pull the opponent towards you from there. But if he in his turn connects his sickle with your loin, you will with the left hand hinder his elbow on the inside, and displace the attack of the opponent to your left side. Further, if you in turn are displaced by him in the same manner, if you have grabbed his chin with the left hand, you will lift this up. But if the opponent attempts to turn this against you, you will immediately attack with the sickle, and pretend to want to attack the opponent from above to cut, but to deflect you will cut his left arm and in this manner you will free yourself, so that he cannot grab your chin. But if you understand that the opponent wants to do the same against you, then throw the sickle away, and throw your left hand from above against his neck, and put the right on his genital, and if in this manner you will lift up the opponent, you will throw him down on your left side.

If you want to use this action in an athletic manner, you have to place your right foot opposite the opponent, and hold the sickle opposite the opponent with the right hand in the manner of the cut from below, but place the left against the left hip, and if from there you move forward to the inside with left, you will place the sickle against his right arm to cut.

'''[1] First engaging into grappling'''
 
 
Do as follows when going towards him in this wrestling device: first of all, pay attention to whether he comes at you with his arms high or low. If he holds his arms high, then you do not need to worry about him, and use whatever techniques you want. If his arms are low, however, then keep the thumbs in your hands closed, your left hand on your left side, your right hand att your right side, and your left foot forward. Then enter the scales position, and you have your advantage over him.

Item, conduct yourself thus in the onset with the daggers. Wind yourself with stabs and with thrusts to him [so] that your right foot stands forward.

'''[2] The first wind-off before the hand'''*
 
  
Do as follows in this technique: stand with your left and right arm as described before, so that you may see what your opponent is up to, your left foot forward, and your left hand closed beside your left leg. If your opponent advances on you like this and grabs you by the right shoulder with his left hand, then wind your right closed hand on the outside over his left arm and press down, that way his attempt is countered.
+
If he thus thrusts to you at your right side and you stand also with your right foot forward against him, so take him out away from there with an outside binding [so] that your thumb stands above on your pommel. Immediately pull your dagger nimbly to yourself and thrust to him therewith at his right side.

If he thus stabs at your right side and you stand with your right foot forward, so take that away from the binding behind his rondel [so] that your thumb is [shall be] above on your pommel. Immediately step with your left foot behind his right* and set your left hand behind his right elbow; shove him therewith from you and stab him at his neck.

Then lift your right leg up high and kick him with your knee inside of his left knee, and he must fall.

If he has then thus set out [attacked], so step with your right outwardly behind his right foot and grab quickly with your left at his right hand at the dagger and push therewith under itself [down] and grab with your right arm under through his right [arm] and stab the dagger in his throat.
 +
 
 +
If he thus stabs at you, so spring with your left behind his right foot and pull him by the left shoulder strongly to you so he has to give up from his stab and you move him under yourself.

'''[77] A throw from the waist'''
+
[1] '''First engaging into grappling'''
  
Do as follows: If your opponent stands with both legs together, and has taken hold of your left arm with his right hand, and with his left over your right arm in your right armpit, then take hold with your left hand in his right shoulder and pull him to you. Then reach with your left arm under his left armpit and grab hold of his waist and turn from your left to your right side, and you will throw him over the short hip or the waist.
+
Do as follows when going towards him in this wrestling device: first of all, pay attention to whether he comes at you with his arms high or low. If he holds his arms high, then you do not need to worry about him, and use whatever techniques you want. If his arms are low, however, then keep the thumbs in your hands closed, your left hand on your left side, your right hand att your right side, and your left foot forward. Then enter the scales position, and you have your advantage over him.

'''[78] A carry off with a lock hold'''
+
[2] '''The first wind-off before the hand'''*
  
In this device you do thus: if your opponent stands with his feet together then step forward with your right foot, and bend down into the scales. If he then tries to grab you around your neck with his right had then grab with your right hand onto right leg and with your left take hold of his right arm by your neck, and pull it over your left shoulder and onto your chest. Then reach out with your right hand under his right leg and take hold of his right hand, and stand up, and you have him locked in and can carry him wherever your want.
+
Do as follows in this technique: stand with your left and right arm as described before, so that you may see what your opponent is up to, your left foot forward, and your left hand closed beside your left leg. If your opponent advances on you like this and grabs you by the right shoulder with his left hand, then wind your right closed hand on the outside over his left arm and press down, that way his attempt is countered.

If your opponent advances upon you as mentioned above, then use this technique: reach over his left arm with your left arm and grab hold of the inside of his left leg just above the knee, and step behind him on his right side with your left foot. Now, do keep in mind that your stepping and grabbing him are done at the same time, and fast. Do that, and you will throw him over. Note also that this technique can be done from both sides.
  
Do this technique as follows: when you both go together, then step with your left leg outside his right and step down into the scales. Then, take hold with your left around his waist with support of your right hand, and put your left armpit under his right. If your opponent holds you thus and is about to throw you, then take hold of his leather collar with your right hand, and with your left in his right armpit. Then strike a knee hook with your right leg around his left and swing him over from your right side to your left over your right leg.

Then bend down into the scales, so that his back gets on your left shoulder, and with your right hand grab hold of his lower left leg. Straighten yourself up, and you may either carry him away or throw him away from you.

[59] '''A close hold wrestling technique'''
|
 
'''[131] How to pin someone who's been thrown'''
 
  
When wrestling with your opponent standing up, you advance upon him with crossed arms in the tong hold, then place your left foot in front of his own left foot, and out of the tong hold reach around with your left hand above around his waist, and your right reversed grab hold on the inside of his left leg. Then, if you lift up with your lower grip, and push back to the left with your upper grip, then you will throw him over the left hip. When you have thrown him accordingly, then place your right leg between his both legs by the groin, and fall with your left leg over the biceps of your opponent's right arm, and with your right hand on the biceps of his left arm. This way you will hold him down so that he cannot get up again, and is not able to do anything. Then you may stab him in the face or through the vizor with the dagger you hold in your left hand, or you may throw dirt or sand in his face, or whatever you what ever you seem fit with him.
+
Do as described in the following technique: when you both go together, and he stands with his right leg between your feet, then grab with your right hand over his chest and onto his left shoulder, and with your left hand take hold of his left, and pull him to you. Then, put your chin on his right shoulder, press down, and swing him backwards over your left leg.

When you face your opponent, stand with your right foot forward and take hold of his right hand with your own right hand. Then deceitfully step with your left foot behind him so that your back is against his back, take hold in his right armpit with your left hand. If he on the other hand steps so slyly behind you and has taken hold of you thus, then quickly stoop down and put your head in his waist. Then, grab with your left hand onto his right leg and lift up, and push your body hard onto his back, straighten yourself up, and you may throw him or carry him away.

[103] '''A head first topple'''<ref>A technique for putting the opponent down head first with his feet in the air.</ref>
  
When someone tries to punch you in the face, then (parry and catch as before) and strike with your fist outstreched under his collar, and then grab around his leg with your right arm, and you will throw him on his back.
+
When you come before the opponent then make sure to grab hold with your left hand in the back of his neck in his collar or in the jacket he is wearing. Then stoop down stretch the arm away from you so that he cannot take hold around you, and when he then tries to get away from you, then push him with above mentioned arm as if you were to throw him on his face. When he then extends his arms towards the ground in order to take the fall, do not let go of his collar but hold him firmly. Then reach through between his both legs with your right hand and take hold of his right hand and swing him over one foot, and you will topple him over head first.

[106] '''How to pin down a fallen opponent, so that he cannot get up again'''
'''Another wrestling technique'''
 
  
When your opponent tries to hit you, then catch the blow with the outside of the hand, and push him backwards with all your might. Then catch with your left hand from underneath around his right arm, and step behind his right foot with your left foot, that way you will throw him on his back and break his arm.
+
when you both have fallen down, do thus: grab with your left hand in on the inside of his right elbow, and push it up, and with your right hand forward on his left arm, and stretch them out from each other. If he has taken hold of you this way, and lies chest to chest with you and with both legs between both of yours, then strike out with right foot over his back and with your left over his right, that way he is just as pinned down as you are. However, if you want to get free from him, then knee him in the groin, and he will have to let you go and has no more strength.

Item: when with the onset you come to the man, so stand with your left foot forward and stab at his right leg.
+
When you are in the approach with your right foot standing forward, then step in toward the man with your left leg behind his right and cut toward his head with your long edge. At that moment, move your left hand from your grip to your sword blade. With that, wind the short edge on the left side of his neck. If you then stand with your right foot against him and he has confined<ref name="einengen">Choosing to read this as equivalent to modern German ''einengen''. “Trapped” as a translation for ''eineinden'' follows from this choice. Buyer beware.</ref> you like this, then plant the cross and shield of your sword under his left arm and briskly shove it upwards. Thus you take his trap<ref name="einengen"/> away. At that moment, grab the pommel of his sword with your inverted left hand and turn it well upwards. Thus you wind the sword out of his hands, and you may also be able to throw him.

| <p>[2] '''A Planting which Proceeds from a Throw'''</p>
  
If he then stabs also simultaneously with you in at your left leg, so grab with your left hand at his right, with your dagger behind his right elbow. Immediately so wind yourself with your left shoulder under his right elbow so you break his arm therewith.
+
When you are in the approach with your left foot standing forward, then follow in after with your right leg inside of his left. In the same instant, cut to the left side of his head with your long edge. If he moves to strike a cut from above at you like this, and you are standing with your left foot toward him, then cut to the left side of his head with your long edge to oppose him, thereby taking away his cut on your left side. At that moment, cut him from his right side upon his left so that your short edge on his sword blade comes close to his grip. Next, let your left hand go from your pommel and take hold of your blade with inverted hand and plant it on the left side of his neck. Wrench to your left side, and thus you may be able to throw him over your left leg. If he has planted upon your neck like this and wishes to throw you, then quickly let your right hand go from your grip and plant it on his left elbow. Now strongly shove away from you and kick him in the ankle with your right foot around his left. With this, pull towards you below and shove away from you above. Thus, you throw him backwards.
 
+
|  
If he desires thus to break your arm, so step with your left leg behind his right and set your left hand behind his right elbow, so you throw him on his left side and become free of the arm break without any harm.

| <p>[3] '''A Throw with the Sword'''</p>
  
Item: conduct yourself thus in this setting off out of the Strong. Stand with your left foot forward and hold the dagger in both hands. If he then stands also against you with his right foot forward and goes against you with a face thrust, so go well over yourself against him with your dagger and catch the stab between both hands on your blade. Immediately grab with your left hand behind his pommel and press the point of his dagger into his face.
+
If you stand in the approach with your right foot toward the man, then step in after with your left leg and cut to the left side of his head. If he is coming in at you in the approach with his left leg toward you and has taken your cut away, then transfer your left hand from your pommel to the sword blade and place it on the left side of his neck. Wrench him with this on your right side. If he has set strongly upon you like this, then allow your sword to quickly fall away and set your right hand outside on his left elbow and shove it away from you. If he has taken away your planting, then let your right hand go from your handle and grab his left knee and lift it up high. If he has seized you in this way and intends to throw you, then grab his right hand with your left and push it down, thereby taking it away. In the same instant, hit him in the ankle with your left foot around his left. Pull that strongly toward you while you pull his right hand to you with your left and also push him strongly away from you above with your right hand, thus you throw him backwards.

If he thus shoves your point to the face, so grab with your left hand on his left arm and shove it from yourself so you will be free of the stab. Immediately stab him at his breast. If he sets that off, so change through immediately nimbly and stab him at his face.

| <p>[4] '''How One Shall Hold Down a Thrown Opponent'''</p>
  
If he thus stabs you a double one, so step with your right leg well into him and take that away with your half dagger. Immediately wind through to him in front of his face and thrust in doubly therewith.
+
When you go to the man upright in the wrestling with arms crossed in the scissors, then step in to him with your left leg and, out of the scissors, grab over and around his body with your left hand, and inside and around his left leg with your inverted right hand. Lift high upwards with your right while pushing away from you above toward your left side. Thus, you throw him over your left hip. If you have thrown him like this, then fall with your right leg between both of his by his crotch. With your left knee, kneel upon the muscle of his right arm, and grasp the muscle of his left arm with your right hand. Thus you are able to hold him down so that he cannot get away or free himself from you. As you do this, you may be able to stab him in the eyes or face with a dagger in your left hand. Or you may be able to throw dirt or sand in his face and deal with him as you wish.

| <p>[5] '''The Point against the Crown'''</p>
  
Item: conduct yourself thus with this onset.  Stand with your right foot forward and hold your dagger against him, the thumb by your rondel.<ref>Note: the illustration shows ice-pick grip.</ref> If he then stands also thus against you with a stab, his right foot set in front, so follow with your left leg behind and travel to him with your dagger, the right hand under around his leg. Heave therewith over him and with the left hand shove him above by his right arm from you, so you turn him and can also throw.
+
Present yourself like so in this piece with the approach: Step in there with your right leg and shoot the point of your dussack high over both his arms into his face. If you are then in the approach with your left leg coming in there toward him, and he is thrusting at your face like this, then go up in the Crown with your dussack, with your left hand forward by the point and with that take away his thrust to your right side. In that instant, release your left hand from your dussack out of the Crown and cut at him from your right side toward his face. If he cuts at your face like this, then go against his cut with the long edge and take it away on your left side. In the same moment, let the weak of your dussack fall away and step in with your right leg and cut toward his right arm. In that instant, pull back away from him.
 
+
|  
If he is thus set on to you above and below and desires to throw you, so turn yourself immediately nimbly on your right side and grab him with your left hand above on his right; press therewith strongly under him so you will be free of him. Immediately set your left foot in front, seize him by his left arm and stab him to his throat. If he sets off the stab, so wind nimbly doubly through and stab him in his face. Immediately shove him from you therewith.

| <p>[6] '''A Dussack Hold'''</p>
  
Item: conduct yourself thus in this device/play/bit/encounter. Wind yourself with stabbing and thrusting toward him so that your left foot stands forward, your thumb under by your rondel.
+
Follow this piece in the approach like so: If he is coming in against you with his right leg and stands in the Bow, and you also stand with your right leg toward him, then snatch hold of his dussack with your left hand, [catching it] close to the point. Turn it toward your left side, and in the same moment step in with your left leg and cut toward his head with your long edge. If he has seized your dussack like this and cuts from above at you, then come to the aid of your right hand with your left on the handle of your dussack. Wind it out of his left hand. In the same moment, step in the parrying with your left leg to his right side in a triangle and quickly cut toward his right arm.

 +
|
  
If he then stands also thus against you with his right foot forward his thumb above on the pommel and stabs above to your face, thus go toward his stab and set it aside between both your hands on your dagger so that the point stands in front against him. Immediately wind in with your point above over his right arm, thus you are able to break his arm.

| <p>[7] '''A Throw with the Dussack'''</p>
  
If has thus set you aside and wishes to break your arm thus, step toward him with your left leg and grip with your left hand on his right elbow, shove him therewith over himself so you will be free of him. Immediately stab him in his face or the breast.
+
If both of you have come together in the approach and have bound with each other, then stand with your right foot forward and wind the handle of your dussack over his right arm. Once you have wound over his arm like this, then quickly step behind his right with your left leg and go around his neck with the point of your dussack, and then grab hold of your point with your left hand. In that moment, quickly and strongly pull it toward you. Thus you throw him backwards over your left leg.
 
+
|  
If he thus stabs in at you above thus take it away from him with your dagger on your right arm from inside and outside. Immediately tug as if you would like to thrust to his face and change your dagger out of your right hand into your left. Immediately step with your right foot toward him and thrust to his genitals. Step therewith twice back away from him.

Item: Hold yourself thus with this bit: Set your right foot in front and hold your thumb above on your pommel. If he then stands also thus against you with his right foot forward thus stab him in his genitals.
+
Present yourself like so in this piece with the approach: Step in to him with your right leg and cut to his head with your long edge. If he cuts at you from above like this, and you stand with your left leg toward him, then rush to oppose his cut with your dussack. With that, take away his cut on your left side and push hard away from you. In the same instant, wind over his dussack with your long edge and plant your dussack on his neck so that you have the dussack in both hands. Now, hit him in the ankle with your left foot around his right and strongly pull him toward you; above, strongly push him away from you with your dussack at his neck. Thus, you throw him backwards.

If he should thus thrust at you, thus take that away with your dagger blade on your right side. Immediately step with your left leg outward in front of his right and stab at his throat [neck]. If he should set you aside thus grip with your left hand inward around his right arm so you take away his setting aside and have again a complete thrust to his face.
+
When you come in to the approach with your left leg, and you are in a high cut with your dussack in the air, then step in to him with your right leg and cut outside and from above toward his right arm. If he cuts at you from above like this, and you stand against him in a low cut, then step in with your right leg and quickly cut him outside and from below toward his right arm. If you have planted upon him from below like this, then pull your dussack down and cut above to his head with your long edge. If he cuts high to you like this, then move to oppose his cut with your dussack, taking it away on your right side. In the same moment, leap to his right side with your left leg in a triangle and shove your point at his face. Cut back away from him.

When you are in the approach, follow this piece like so: Step in with your right leg and cut high at his head with your long edge. If he cuts at you from above like this, and you stand with your left leg toward him, then move to oppose his dussack with your dagger, parrying his cut with the cross of your dagger.

Present yourself like so in this approach: Step in toward the man with your right leg and cut to his head with a high cut using the long edge. If he cuts at you like this, and you stand with your left leg toward him, then go up with your dagger in the parrying and parry his cut on your left side. In the same moment, step in with your right leg and stab him from above to his face with your rapier. If he thrusts at you from above like this, then go to his rapier blade with your dagger from inside and wind with your cross to your left side. Thus you block him and take his thrust away. In the same moment quickly pull your rapier and stab him in the face or in the chest.

In that moment, step in there with your right leg and thrust from above to his face or chest with your rapier. If he thrusts at you like this, then go up from below with your rapier to his rapier blade and take it away to your left side. In that moment, turn your rapier to his face over his rondel. If he winds at you like this, then take it away to your left side with your rondel. In that moment, pull your rapier above you and stab down to his nuts. If he thrusts low at you like this, then set him aside with your dagger and quickly cut at his head in the same moment and pull yourself back away from him.

If he thus thrusts at you to your face, thus set that aside between both hands on your dagger blade. Immediately catch his dagger on your dagger and step with your right leg in front of his right. Immediately wind to him your pommel over his right hand, so he must leave you the dagger.

If you have been overtaken, however it may have happened, and your adversary is working against you with cuts or thrusts and you are wearing your cloak, then conduct yourself like so: Take your cloak in your left hand behind the nape of your neck by your hood and quickly swing it around your left arm and catch his thrust with it, taking it away on your left side. In this moment, swing the cloak in front of his face so that you blind him and stab him in the torso. If he has blinded you and stabbed at you like this, then step back away from him with your right leg and force his rapier down with the long edge of your rapier, thus you take away his thrust. In that moment quickly step back in again with your right foot and cut at his head with your long edge.

If he has thus taken your dagger, so travel to him with your right hand forward around his throat so you throw him over your right leg.

If your adversary is going in toward you, and he brings a high thrust with his dagger against you, then step in with your right leg and take his thrust away with the cross of your dagger on your left side.

Follow this piece like so: Step in with your left leg and stab toward his face or chest from above with your dagger. If he goes to you like this with a thrust, and you are standing with your left leg toward him, then follow in after with your right leg and go to his dagger with your dagger’s cross, taking away his thrust on your left side. If he has taken away your thrust like this, then reach your left hand under and through your right arm and catch his dagger by the point. Pull strongly downwards so that he must give the dagger to you. If he has stripped your dagger like this and wishes to skewer you, then fall upon the inside of his right arm with your left hand and push that down hard so that you take away his thrust. In the same instant fall to his throat with your right hand. If he wants to pounce upon you like this, then grab him under his right elbow with your left hand and lift upwards so that you take away his strike. Now hit him in the ankle with your right foot around his left and pull strongly with it towards you; push strongly away from you above so that you throw him backwards.

If he thus thrusts at you, so set your left leg back and set him aside with your dagger blade from one side to the other. Immediately take two steps towards him and stab him below and above at his openings.

Since you both have gone against one another with high thrusts and have mutually wrenched each other’s daggers away, conduct yourself like so: Step with in toward him with your right leg and grab his right hand with your left. Twist his arm around as you turn yourself around so that you bring his right arm upon your left shoulder.

If he has thus taken your thrust away so step with your left leg in front on his right foot. Immediately grip with your left hand behind around his neck and tug therewith strongly toward yourself so you will throw him in front underneath yourself.
+
Hold yourself like so in this piece in the approach: Step in with your left leg and stab him with a high thrust toward his face. If he stabs at you like this, then take it away with the cross of your dagger of your left side. At the same moment, grab the point of his dagger from below, with your left hand over your right arm, and turn it downwards so that he must give it to you. If he has wrenched away your dagger like this, then grab his right hand with your left hand inside and close by his hand while you duck your head down low so that you bring his right arm solidly upon your left shoulder. In the same moment, go inside between both of his legs by his nuts with your right hand. Lift strongly upwards while you pull his arm downwards toward you, thus you are able to throw him or carry him wherever you wish.

If you want to counter that, so release your right hand from your dagger and grip therewith well under his left elbow.<ref>Note: left is corrected from a right. Left is correct.</ref> Immediately shove strongly away from yourself so you can throw him and so you will be free from his hurts.

Present yourself with the approach like so in this piece: Step in with your right leg and stab at his face or chest with a high thrust. If he stabs from above at you like this, then put the cross of your dagger upon his dagger and take away his thrust. Now, wind out from below on top of his dagger. Once you have wound his dagger away, then grab him by the left arm, going inside with your inverted left hand close by his hand. Next, turn yourself so that you bring his left arm firmly upon your right shoulder and stab back into his privates with your dagger in your right hand. If he stabs at you like this, then fall upon his right arm with your right hand close by his hand. Pull that strongly to you and with your left arm which he has taken hold of you, push strongly away from you on your left side. Thus you throw him backwards over your left leg.

If you want to prevent him breaking the arm, so let your dagger also fall and grip with your left hand forward on his right. Press therewith below him thus you will be free of the arm break. Immediately step with your left leg in front of his right and seize him with your left hand by his neck so you will throw him over the same leg.

Present yourself like this in this piece from the approach: Step in there with your right leg and stab him with a high thrust to his face or chest. If he thrusts from above at you like this, and you are also standing in a high thrust against him, then take the thrust away to your left side with the cross of your dagger. In the same moment, grab his right arm from below with your left hand close by his hand. If he then wants to grab you with his left hand upon your right, then allow your dagger to fall and seize his left hand with your right. In that moment, settle yourself very low in the scales with your body and kick him in the stomach with your left leg as you lower yourself to fall over backwards.

Push it downwards so that you take his thrust away. If he has cut at you in this way and taken away your thrust, then wind your blade from your left side against his halberd on his left side, thus you block him. In the same moment, then pull the halberd and thrust toward his face or chest. If he stabs at you like this, then take it away with your blade on your left side.

[1] '''A High Thrust against a Low Thrust with the Rappier'''
  
If he thus thrusts at you so grip with your right hand well in front on his left arm and with the left on his dagger so wind it out of his hands.
+
It happens like this in this technique: hold your Rappier in your right hand in front of your forward leg in a low thrust position directed towards his groin. He then stands with his left foot opposite you and thrusts towards your face at the upper opening.<ref name="illustration"/> Then drive up with your Rappier out of the low thrust position, fall over his Rappier and with that take away his thrust to your left side with your short edge. Then immediately step with your left leg in the triangle on your right side and strike to his forward leg.
  
If he has taken your dagger, so step with your right foot behind his left, immediately set with your right hand forward on this throat and with the left between his genitals and throw him back therewith.
+
If he strikes low towards you like this, then yank your left leg back and take it away with the long edge so that you avoid injury from him and can work against him once more.

Item: conduct yourself thus in the dagger taking. Stand with your left foot forward and stab at his face.
+
[2] '''An ''Understich'' against an ''Oberhaw'''''
If he then thus stabs to your face, so go toward him with a stab from below; so his stab is set aside. Immediately grip with your left hand in front on his dagger.
 
  
If he has attacked you thus on your dagger so grip also with your left hand well forward on his dagger and push therewith strongly below yourself on your left side.
+
Hold yourself like this with this technique: stand with your left foot forward and hold your Rappier in an ''Understich'' ("low thrust position") opposite the opponent on your right side with the blade along your left thigh. He then stands with his right foot opposite you and strikes from above to your head. Then drive up with your Rappier out of the low thrust position and with that fall over his Rappier to take away his strike to your left side with your short edge. Then immediately follow outward with your right leg and do an extended strike from above to his head.
  
If he pushes you then with strength underneath himself<ref>Correct from ''underich''.</ref> so let go of your dagger and nimbly snatch his away; thus he must let you have it. Immediately spring on his right side and stab him in his right arm.
+
If he strikes like this to your upper opening, then take it away with your long edge and immediately step back. As you step back pay attention that you strike his right forward set leg and with that yank back away from him.
 
+
| {{paget|page:MS Dresd.C.94|139v|png}}
If he thus stabs at you, so step back with your right leg and set that aside in front on your dagger. Immediately allow your dagger to nimbly attack from above with winding and stab his right side. And step therewith back into a good stance.

[3] '''An Understich against a ''Zornhaw'' ("wrath strike")'''
  
Item: When you both come together with the onset your right leg set before you and equally<ref>Could also mean immediately</ref> stab in with each other, so grip with your left hand nimbly over your right arm at his point.
+
It happens like this with this technique at the closing: he stands with his right foot forward and holds his Rappier with his right hand outside of his right leg. You then stand opposite him with both feet together and hold your Rappier up high in the ''Zornhaw'' over your head.<ref name="illustration"/> He thinks you will then strike him wrathfully from above, but step in with your right leg and wind with a ''Verborgnen Stich'' ("concealed thrust") behind your head and forward from your right side to your left into his face with a ''Nachtruck'' ("after-press").
  
If he has thus seized your dagger so grip also with your left hand on his dagger. So you are with each other in equal struggle [work]. Immediately wind his dagger over your right arm on your left side and push your dagger with strength also over his right arm so he must release both daggers to you.
+
If he has wound a thrust like this towards your face, then take it away with your short edge to your left side, immediately follow outward with your left leg and strike him with the same thrust to his right opening that you then see. With that step back away from him.

[4] '''An ''Underhaw'' against a High Thrust'''
  
If he then presses thus under himself so wind with both your arms [in] over his arm.
+
Hold yourself like this with this technique at the closing: stand with your left foot forward and hold your Rappier in an ''Underhaw'' outside next to your left thigh. He then stands with his right foot opposite you and fires a high thrust towards your face or chest.<ref name="illustration"/> Then go up with your Rappier out of the ''Underhaw'' and take his thrust away with your long edge and at the same time follow outward with your right leg and strike to his head. Then immediately step with your right leg behind your left in the triangle and wind a thrust towards him from your left to his right side.
  
If he has thus wound over you, so grip with your left hand in front on his left and with the right on his dagger by his grip, so he must then release the dagger to you. Immediately tear him [it] away and stab him doubly at his face. Tug [zucken] [Latin – to withdraw] therewith back with a good stance.
+
If he thrusts at you like this, then strike against his thrust with an ''Underhaw'' with the long edge and with that spring back. Thus his thrust is averted.

[12] '''Two other Techniques with Free Dagger and Rappier'''
  
Item: when you come with the onset in front of the man so stand with your left foot forward. If he stands then also against you with his right foot forward, so stab him at his breast such that the thumb stands by your rondel.
+
Hold yourself like this with this technique: grasp your Dagger in the left hand and your Rappier in the right and step in with your left leg to immediately strike with your strong to his head and with your Dagger thrust over his right arm to his body.
  
If he stabs at you thus so set that aside with your left hand. Immediately, travel with your dagger around his neck and strike him below at the heels, so you may throw him.
+
If he strikes and thrusts towards you like this, then take his strike away with the long edge of your Rappier,<ref name="illustration"/> set your Dagger inside on his left arm, and with that shove away from you to your right side. Thus you also take away his Dagger thrust. Then immediately step back with your left leg and yank your Rappier above you and wind a thrust from below to his groin.
  
If you want to break that, so grip with your left hand in front on his left, free your dagger therewith [so] that you<ref>''Inn'' - unclear whether directional or locational.</ref> come in over both his hands and set to him behind his right elbow. Shove him therewith on his right side so you break all his work. Immediately spring with your left foot well on his right side and stab him therewith behind at his neck. Immediately pull yourself back into the Change away from him.
+
If he thrusts low towards you like this, then strike his thrust away with an ''Unterhaw'' and immediately follow outward with your right leg and thrust to his body. With that strike back away from him.

[13] '''A Thrust from Below against One from Above'''
 +
 
 +
It happens like this at the closing with this technique: step in opposite him with your left leg and wind a Rappier thrust from below with strength to his body.
  
Item: conduct yourself thus with this device. In the onset set your left foot in front and hold your dagger with the thumb at your pommel. Immediately stab him at his right side.
+
If he thrusts low towards you like this and you also stand opposite him with your left foot, then drop the crossguard of your Dagger onto his Rappier’s blade and with that take his thrust out to your left side.
 +
 
 +
If he has set aside your low thrust like this, then thrust with your Dagger to his chest.<ref name="illustration"/>
  
If he thus stabs at you, so fall with your left hand on his right so you take away his stab. Immediately stab him at his right side. Press his arm therewith under itself and strike the Hook around his right leg with your right foot. Simultaneously go with your right hand under his right arm pit well over itself and press his arm well under itself so you may throw him or break the arm.
+
If he has also thrust towards you like this with his Dagger, step back with your left leg and go up with your Dagger and with that take him aside to your right side. Then immediately step in quickly once again with your left leg and thrust with your Rappier out of the ''Bogen'' with strength from above to his face or chest.
  
If he has you thus locked, so grip with your left hand behind his right elbow and tug down also strongly to yourself so you may throw him or break his arm.
+
If he thrusts high towards you like this, set this aside with the long edge of your Rappier and then immediately yank your left leg back and thrust low to his body. With that step back from him into a good ''Versazung''.

[14] '''A Thrust from Below against an ''Oberhaw'''''
  
Item: hold yourself thus with [scribal typo] this device. Stand with your left foot forward and hold your dagger, the thumb at your pommel. Immediately stab him at his face or the breast.
+
Hold yourself like this with this technique at the closing: step in opposite him with your right leg and fire a low thrust with your Rappier to his body.
  
If you then also thus stand against him with your left foot forward and he thus stabs at you from above, so stab also outwardly at him over his right arm at his face. And in the binding-on seize the two daggers together.
+
If he thrusts low towards you like this, then drop your Dagger onto his Rappier’s blade and with that take him away to your left side. At the same time strike with an ''Oberhaw'' to his head.
  
If he has thus seized the two daggers together, so grip with your left hand behind his right elbow. Shove therewith strongly over itself so he must release to you your dagger again or you will break his arm. Immediately thrust nimbly at his face.
+
If he strikes high towards you like this, step in with your left leg and parry his strike with your Dagger up high. Then immediately drop your left arm over his Rappier’s blade and with that wind it under your left shoulder. If he then intends to thrust you high with his Dagger, take this aside with your Rappier to your left side. Then immediately step back with your left leg and thrust with your Rappier from below to his body.
 
 
If he thus thrusts at your face, so take that away from him on your right side with your dagger on your right arm. Immediately spring with your right foot on his right side and stab him behind at his neck or his right side. Change yourself thus twice back from him.

[15] '''A  High Thrust with the Dagger and Rappier ''Abnemen'' ("Parry")'''  
  
Item: conduct yourself thus with the onset. Stand with your left foot forward and hold your dagger, the thumb by your rondel. Immediately stab him at his left side.
+
It happens like this with this technique at the closing: step in opposite him with your right leg and hold your Dagger in your left hand behind your body and at the same time wind the Concealed Point from your right side to your left behind your head forward to his face or chest.
  
If he thus stabs in at you and you stand with your right foot forward, the dagger in your left hand, the thumb at your pommel, with crossed arms, so fall to him with your right hand on his right [hand]. Immediately stab him under his right arm at his breast.
+
If he thrusts towards you like this and you stand opposite him with your left leg, then take this away with Dagger and Rappier crosswise to your right side.<ref name="illustration"/> Then immediately yank your Rappier up away from his Rappier’s blade and thrust low to his body, but remain with the Dagger on his Rappier. With that he can injure you knowing to thrust.
  
If he thus stabs at you at your breast, so grip with your left hand in front on his dagger and wind it over his right arm so he must release his dagger to you.
+
If he thrusts low towards you like this, then yank your Dagger forward, drop it well forward on his Rappier’s blade and take his thrust away. Then immediately step back with your right leg and thrust again low to his body. Thus you avoid injury and may once again come together with him to work.

If he then tears after you, so step again with your right leg and set aside his stab with your dagger on your right arm. Immediately stab him at his face and turn yourself therewith back from him.
+
Hold yourself like this with this technique: stand with your right foot opposite him and hold your Dagger with your left hand behind your body. He then also stands with his right foot opposite you and fires a high thrust out of the ''Bogen'' towards your face or chest. So drive up with your Rappier onto his Rappier’s blade, and with that take his high thrust away to your left side. Then immediately you will strike him similarly from above so that he must parry high with his Dagger. You then thrust to the opening on his body. Then yank your Dagger forward with your left hand such that the pommel stands on the ball [of the thumb] and the fingers directly on the hilt. Then immediately throw your Dagger with strength at his body.<ref name="illustration"/> Thus you throw him to the ground.

[17] '''The Two Upper Bindings from the Right Side'''
  
Item: hold yourself thus with this device in the onset. When you come before the man set your right foot forward and stab him at his left side [so] that you have your thumb by your rondel.
+
It happens like this with these fencings in the Sword: stand with your right foot forward and strike him to his right side. Then immediately spring in with your left foot and thrust to his right thigh.
  
If he should thus stab at you, and you stand with your right foot against him, so fall nimbly with your left hand on his dagger and wind it out of his hand, simultaneously stab him with your dagger in your right hand at his face.
+
If he has thrust to your forward set thigh like this, then yank it back, spring in quickly again with your left and thrust him with your Sword to his throat with your Buckler in your left hand.
 +
 +
If he then thrusts to you, parry this with your Buckler, at the same time thrust in with your Sword under your left arm to his body and spring with your right foot on his right side. With that thrust into his chest under your Buckler.
  
If he has thus taken your dagger and stabs at your face, so set your right foot between both his legs and grip with your left hand in front on his right and with the right hand under his right arm pit through there to his right arm. Immediately turn your shoulder well under his arm so you will break off the arm on [over] your shoulder.
+
If he thrust to you like this, then spring back with your left foot and parry the thrust. Then immediately thrust to his groin. If he parries this with his Buckler, then pull your thrust back again and with that strike to his right arm.

Hold yourself like this with these techniques in the Sword: stand with your left foot forward, your left arm outstretched with your Buckler so that your Sword stands at your right chest with your cross under the point opposite the opponent with your blade on your left arm.<ref name="illustration"/> Thus you can thrust to his left side. Then immediately spring in with your right foot and strike to his right arm. If he parries this with his Buckler, then thrust quickly to his groin.
  
Item: wind yourself in with stabs and thrusts in the onset against the man.
+
If he thrusts towards you like this and you stand with your left foot forward, then spring back with both feet together and set his thrust aside with your Buckler. Then immediately spring in quickly with your right foot against his right side with another thrust. If he parries this with his Sword, then strike him quickly to his forward set leg.
  
And when you come before the man so set your right foot forwards and hold your dagger, the thumb by your rondel, and set yourself well down in the Scales. Reach therewith out of the Shears up before him.

It happens like this in this technique: spring in with both feet and thrust to his face or chest. If he parries this with his Buckler, then set your left leg to the rear and strike to his left arm. Then immediately spring in with your left foot and thrust to his right side. If he sets this aside with his Buckler, then strike inward from below to his left arm. Then immediately follow outward with your right leg and wind the thrust to his face or chest.
  
If he then thus stands against you with his left foot forward, the dagger on [above] his left knee, the point against the man, so go out with your dagger and take that away from him on your right side.
+
If he fires the thrust and strike at you like this, then parry him with your Buckler and immediately spring in with your right foot and thrust him powerfully under your left arm to his right side.

'''[44] How one should hold a thrown [man]'''
+
[24] '''To Take the Sword'''
  
Item: when you come together with the onset and simultaneously with one another have bound on and have come to a throw so conduct yourself thus.
+
Note this technique when you go together and the opponent has you in the bind: stand with your left foot forward and he stands opposite you with his right. Hold your Sword to your Buckler in your left hand and catch his sword blade well forward near the point with your right. With that snatch it out of his hand (as in illustration.
  
When you both have fallen so that his head comes between both your legs, immediately grab with your left hand between his genitals and with your right [hand] under his right armpit over his right arm so that his dagger lies over your arm, and kneel on his breast well by his neck so that you also trap his left hand with your leg. And if he strikes his right foot around the neck, so press him with your left hand at his genitals well under himself, so you hold him captive and he can do you no harm.
+
If he has grabbed your sword out of your hand like this, then step in with your left leg and catch his sword that is in his left hand and thrust your buckler high onto his left arm so that he must release his sword. If he then strikes at you with pommel and cross, drive high with your Buckler and displace this. Then step back twice as you take your sword in your hand again. If he then travels after you, quickly go in again onto his blade and wind your point to his face.

[27] '''A Chest Thrust with a Grab'''
  
Item [stind?]: If you both come together in the onset so that your left foot stands forward and you stand in the lower Scales and you have your dagger in the right hand, so lay the dagger’s blade outside on your arm and hold thus your hand with the dagger next to your right leg in the guard [posture, stance].
+
It happens like this when you go together in this technique: stand with your right foot forward and thrust from your left side to his right chest with a winding thrust.
  
If he thus steps in front of you in the Scales and he stands with his [??lower??] [ge..nen] [ge..ch?] [tibia in Latin] leg upright in the high thrust the point turned against the man, so step with your left leg inwardly in front of his left and stab him therewith above at this face.
+
If he thrusts towards you like this and you stand with your right foot forward, then take your Sword to your Buckler in your left hand and immediately grab his sword blade with your right hand.<ref name="illustration"/>
  
If he thus thrusts also at your face, so grab with your left hand on his right arm and immediately stab him inwardly under his left leg in through and heave therewith his leg well over itself and shove above with the left his right well over itself, so you bring him into disorder [schwerhe] [weakness, hardship, trouble, difficulty, vulnerability, out of balance] and to the throw.
+
If he has grabbed your sword like this, then set your left hand with your Buckler over your right and with that step back with your right leg. Thus he must release your sword to you. Then immediately travel after him and thrust to his face.
  
If he has thus seized you below and above and brought you into disorder, so fall nimbly with your left upper hand on his left shoulder in around his neck and tug therewith strongly to yourself so he must fall to the ground with you.
+
If he travels after you like this and thrusts to your face, displace this with your Buckler and at the same time step back with your right leg and then thrust from below to his chest. If he displaces this, then strike from above with a winding strike to his head. With that yank yourself back away from him.
 
+
| {{paget|page:MS Dresd.C.94|152r|png}}
If he has thus seized you by the neck and wants to pull you with him in falling, so release your left hand from his right and strike with your left inwardly in the middle of his arm on your left side so he must let go the arm which he has he has thrown around your neck and you escape the fall.

+
Hold yourself like this when you go together: step in with your left leg and do a low extended thrust to his groin such that you have your Buckler in your left hand near your hilt.
  
If he then lies thus with stretched-out arms in the low Scales, and you thus stand forward with your right foot and you hold your dagger in the right hand by the grip, the thumb on the pommel thus in the High up over your head, so step with your right leg in to him, and stab him from above at his face or the breast.

It happens like this with this technique: step in with your left leg and bind on his sword blade. He then likewise stands with his left foot opposite you and binds similarly on your blade. Then hold your Sword together with your Buckler in your left hand and immediately drop your right hand onto his beard.
 +
 
 +
If he has grabbed you like this and holds you by your beard and intends to drop his left hand over his right so that he can snatch your beard downward powerfully, then drop your left hand on his right arm and wind his hand off of your beard.<ref name="illustration"/> Then strike to his head.
  
Item: If one meets you thus in the onset, and you stand with your left foot forward, and he stabs you thus at the body, so step with your left foot against him and grab in nimbly with your left hand at his right arm, and push therewith strongly under itself, so you take away his stab. If he then thus takes away your stab, so spring with your right behind his left foot and stab him [in that] nimbly at his face; so that you all can also work at one another.
+
If he has wound himself from you like this and strikes towards your head, then once again quickly take your sword in your right hand and displace his strike with your Buckler. Then immediately step back and thrust to his chest. If he takes your thrust away with his Buckler, then strike with a ''Zwirchhaw'' as you move back away from him.

Step forward with your left leg, and hold your buckler in your left hand facing straight towards your opponent, and the rapier in your right hand held high above your head with the long edge facing upwards.

If he tries to do thus to you, as you are standing with your left foot forward, holding your sword in your right hand, then tip your point down slightly toward your opponent, and hold your buckler in your left hand over your chest as you step forward with your right foot and put it on the outside of your opponent's right and thus you parry his thrust with a hangning point from below to your right. Immediately then pull your opponent's hand with the hilt and cross of your sword just behind his own pommel, while you with the long edge lying on your opponent's neck, pull back your pommel and hilt as hard as you can, and you will slice his neck. But if he tries to do this, then put your left foot on his right side and raise your buckler to his left side, turn your sword so that your cross is on the outside of your opponent's arm and strike it back, thus you will evade his attack.

[53] '''How to take the opponent's buckler'''
 +
 +
Stand with your right foot forward and step forward left and thrust to his chest, and then cut to his head. If he does this to you, while you are standing with your right foot forward, then grip your sword with your left hand in the middle of the blade together with your buckler, step forward and parry his attack on the buckler. Then you raise your buckler and sword to parry and step forward with your left foot as fast as you can, and grab hold on the inside of the opponent's buckler with your right hand and twist it out of his hand. Then you throw it into his face, steb back and take your sword in your right hand and thrust him in the face or chest. If he does the same to you on the other hand, then raise up your left arm to protect your face and do a cross cut from below to counter his thrust. And if you instead of the above mentioned thrust from above out of a cross cut from above you will also counter his buckler throw and his thrust.

[54] '''The second way of taking the opponent's buckler along with a throw'''
| '''[69] '''
+
 
 +
When you step together and both thrust at each other and both parry with the buckler, then step forward with your left foot and hold your buckler in your left hand extended toward your opponent as you thrust to his face or chest. If your opponent thrusts at you in the same manner, then grab hold of the middle of the blade with your left hand and the buckler in front of, so that the tip of the sword  is pointing up, and step forward with your left foot against his thrust. If your opponent then wants to cut at you, then step in and parry with the buckler and the sword and then swiftly grab hold of the inside if his buckler and twist it out of his hand. Then step back with the other foot and throw the buckler in his face. Then grab hold of your own sword with your right hand and then step in with your right foot and thrust hin in the face or chest. If your opponent does the same to you, and you have stepped back holding up your left arm to protect your face, you will parry his attack. If he then continues to thrust to your face or chest, then step back and cut cross cuts and double thrusts at him, and you will parry all his attacks.

[55] '''An armlock'''
 +
 +
Step forward with your left foot, holding your sword with the point directed at the opponent on your right side and your buckler in front of your left breast. Then step forward with your right foot and thrust to your opponent's face or chest. If your opponent attacks you in this manner, and you are standing with your right foot forward, then parry his thrust on your buckler, and step forward with your left foot on the inside of his right and cut him in the head. If your opponent tries to cut you in this manner, then hold your buckler in front of your face to parry and cut him swiftly in his face. Should he do this, then remove his cut and step close to him. Lift your buckler and move your left arm over the outside of his right arm and around, så that his right hand that he is holding his sword with ends up behind your armpit. Fasten the buckler you are holding in your left hand firmly under his right arm and put your left leg on the outside of the back of his right knee, turn you your left, and you will throw him backwards. If this were to happen to you, in that case, make sure to parry his cuts and thrusts with your buckler.

[56] '''A throw with the sword'''
| '''[70] '''
+
 
 +
Put your right foot forward and thrust from above with the sword in your right hand and hold your buckler with the left arm outstretched by the sword pointing at your opponent. Then step forward with your left foot and thrust from below a half thrust to your opponent's belly or chest. If your opponent comes att you in this manner, then step forward with your right foot and parry the thrust with your buckler. Should he parry your thrust thus, then without hesitation, cut a thwart cut to his head. If your opponent does this, then put together both hands holding the sword and the buckler and parry the strike this way. Then you step in quickly and move your left arm over his right behind his sword and hold firmly, as you thrust him in the chest. However, if your opponent has taken hold of you in said manner and tries to thrust you in the chest, then parry with the buckler. Should your opponent parry with the buckler then, step with your left foot as fast as you can behind the back of his right knee as you take a firm hold of your opponent's right armpit with the left arm. If you then push away from you and upward, your opponent will fall backwards and lose his sword. If this were to happen to you, then kick him in the groin with the other foot and parry with your buckler his cuts and thrusts or whatever he were to do to you.

'''[1] A High Thrust against a Low Thrust with the Rappier'''
+
[1] '''A parry against a death strike with the poleaxe'''
  
It happens like this in this technique: hold your Rappier in your right hand in front of your forward leg in a low thrust position directed towards his groin. He then stands with his left foot opposite you and thrusts towards your face at the upper opening (as in illustration). Then drive up with your Rappier out of the low thrust position, fall over his Rappier and with that take away his thrust to your left side with your short edge. Then immediately step with your left leg in the triangle on your right side and strike to his forward leg.
+
Step forward with your right foot towards your opponent and hold your poleaxe over your hed with both hands and the point directed at the opponent. If he is standing with his left foot forward and is about to strike you with a death strike, then parry his attack to your left. Then you pull back your ase and thrust him in the groin. If your opponent does this on the other hand, you parry with the back end, and step forward with your right foot and strike him in the head with the axe blade. If he parries with the shaft between his hands you turn in the back end between his arms into his face. If he does this, then step back with your right foot and parry with the shaft between your arms. If he parries, you strike again to his upper opening. If your opponent strikes at you in the same manner, you parry with the shaft. Then, if you pull you your right you will thrust him win the face with the point. Then you change through with the axe and step back.  
  
If he strikes low towards you like this, then yank your left leg back and take it away with the long edge so that you avoid injury from him and can work against him once more.

'''[2] An Understich against an Oberhaw'''
+
[2] '''A death strike against a thrust to the chest'''
  
Hold yourself like this with this technique: stand with your left foot forward and hold your Rappier in an Understich (low thrust position) opposite the opponent on your right side with the blade along your left thigh. He then stands with his right foot opposite you and strikes from above to your head. Then drive up with your Rappier out of the low thrust position and with that fall over his Rappier to take away his strike to your left side with your short edge. Then immediately follow outward with your right leg and do an extended strike from above to his head.
+
This device is executed thus. Stand with both legs straight and hold the shaft of your axe with both hands and the left hand raised behind your head. Then you step forward with your right foot and strike your opponent in the head with the blade of the axe. If your opponent comes at you like this, and you are standing with your left foot forward, holding the axe with your right hand at head hight and the left hand on the lower end pointing to the opponent, then parry with the shaft to your right. Then you thrust him in the chest with the front point. If he would do the same, then parry his thrust on the shaft between your hands to your left, and thrust him with the front point over his left hand and into his chest, and pull towards you hard. When you have done this, you may change through and move back.  
  
If he strikes like this to your upper opening, then take it away with your long edge and immediately step back. As you step back pay attention that you strike his right forward set leg and with that yank back away from him.

'''[3] An Understich against a Zornhaw (wrath strike)'''
+
[3] '''Two turn-ins/break-ins with the poleaxe'''
  
It happens like this with this technique at the closing: he stands with his right foot forward and holds his Rappier with his right hand outside of his right leg. You then stand opposite him with both feet together and hold your Rappier up high in the Zornhaw over your head (as in illustration). He thinks you will then strike him wrathfully from above, but step in with your right leg and wind with a Verborgnen Stich (concealed thrust) behind your head and forward from your right side to your left into his face with a Nachtruck (after-press).
+
In this device you do thus: step forward with your right foot and hold your poleaxe in good defence turned toward the opponent. Then you step forward with your left foot and strike a death strike to his head with the axe. If your opponent comes at you in the same manner, and you are holding the poleaxe in both hands then grab the upper end of the shaft with your right and the lower with the left, step forward with your right foot and remove his strike to the left with the shaft. Then you step forward with your left foot and direct the back end over both arms, switch grips, and pull your opponent's right hand toward you (above) with the axe blade, and below, with his left hand with your left arm. If your opponent were to do this, then let go with your right hand, grab his left shoulder and push him away from you. Should he do this on the other hand, then you step back with your left foot and direct a thrust with the front point into his chest, and step back from him in good defense.  
  
If he has wound a thrust like this towards your face, then take it away with your short edge to your left side, immediately follow outward with your left leg and strike him with the same thrust to his right opening that you then see. With that step back away from him.

'''[4] An Underhaw against a High Thrust'''  
+
[4] '''A twisting in and a pull'''
  
Hold yourself like this with this technique at the closing: stand with your left foot forward and hold your Rappier in an Underhaw outside next to your left thigh. He then stands with his right foot opposite you and fires a high thrust towards your face or chest (as in illustration). Then go up with your Rappier out of the Underhaw and take his thrust away with your long edge and at the same time follow outward with your right leg and strike to his head. Then immediately step with your right leg behind your left in the triangle and wind a thrust towards him from your left to his right side.
+
In this device you do thus: step forward with your right foot and hold your poleaxe in good defence turned toward the opponent. Then you step forward with your left foot and strike a death strike to his head with the axe. If your opponent comes at you in the same manner, and you are holding the poleaxe in both hands then grab the upper end of the shaft with your right and the lower with the left, step forward with your right foot and remove his strike to the left with the shaft. Then you step forward with your left foot and direct the back end over both arms, switch grips, and pull your opponent's right hand toward you (above) with the axe blade, and below, with his left hand with your left arm. If your opponent were to do this, then let go with your right hand, grab his left shoulder and push him away from you. Should he do this on the other hand, then you step back with your left foot and direct a thrust with the front point into his chest, and step back from him in good defense.  
  
If he thrusts at you like this, then strike against his thrust with an Underhaw with the long edge and with that spring back. Thus his thrust is averted.

'''[5] The Winding Thrust with a Concealed Point against an Abnemen'''
+
[5] '''A thrust to the groin against a turning in'''
  
It happens like this with this technique at the closing: step in with your left leg and thrust with an extended arm behind your head forward to his face. (Verborgnen Stich/Ort:  Concealed Thrust/Point)
+
this device is performed thus: stand with the left foot forward and hold the axe raised over in front of your face with the right hand on the middle of the shaft and the left on the back end. Then, step forward with the right foot and thrust your opponent in the groin. If he does this to you, and you are standing with your right foot forward, holding your axe before your face with both hands, right hand on the back end and the left by the blade, then parry to your left with the back end and strike hom in the head with the blade. If he parries on the shaft between his hands, you thrust the back end into his face between his both arms. Should he parry this as well, you step back with your left foot and strike him in the right arm with the blade. Then you step away from him while turning the axe around.  
  
If he thrusts towards you like this from above and you stand with your right foot opposite him, then drive up with your Rappier and take it away from your right side to his left with your long edge (as in illustration).
+
| {{paget|page:MS Dresd.C.94|166r|png}}

If he thrusts towards you like this, take it away with your long edge to your right side. Then immediately follow outward with your left and strike or thrust to his left forward set leg. If he persists and follows after you, then thrust to his face or chest from above and with that step back away from him.

'''[6] One High Thrust against Another'''
+
[6] '''Two pulls followed by a throw'''
  
Hold yourself like this with this technique at the closing: stand with your right foot forward and hold your Rappier high in your right hand extended over your head with the point directed at his face.
+
If you want to be the victor in this device, do as follows: stand with your right foot forward and raise the axe up in front of your face on your left side, and holding the right hand on the back end and the left on the middle of the blade. Then you step forward with your left foot and strike him in the head with the blade. Should he parry between his hands on the shaft, then move down your front end as well as the blade into the back of his right knee, and pull toward you. If he should do this, however, then put your axe blade around his neck, and pull toward you, that way he cannot hurt you. If your opponent pulls you toward him in the same manner, then take a triangle step and parry his strike between both hands on your shaft, and push up, that way you will weaken him above. Then, let go of the axe with your left hand and grab hold of his right leg and lift it up, and you will throw him backwards.  
  
If he also stands this way opposite you with his body and Rappier and does not thrust or strike at you (as in illustration), then step in with your left leg and wind a thrust to his face or chest.
+
| {{paget|page:MS Dresd.C.94|166v|png}}
 
+
| {{section|page:Cod.10826 151av.png|German|lbl=151v}}
If he thrusts high towards you like this, then set your short edge high upon his Rappier and with that take his thrust away.  Then immediately yank back high and thrust low to his groin.

| {{paget|page:Cod.icon. 393 II|087v|jpg}}
 
+
| {{section|page:Cod.10826 151av.png|Latin|lbl=151v}}
If he thrusts low towards you like this, then step back with your left leg. If he persists and travels after you, then step in again quickly and hit him with a strong winding thrust to the body. With that move back away from him.

[7] '''A breaking in with the axe'''
  
It happens like this with this technique at the closing: stand with your right foot forward and fire a long winding thrust from below to his throat.
+
When you enter before your opponent, then stand straight with your feet together holding your axe raised up with both hands before your face. Step forward with your left foot and strike him in the head with the blade of your axe. If he were to do this to you, then strike against his strike and parry this way. Then you move in the lower end over his right arm and press your opponent's axe and yours together with your right hand. Then, turn to your right and you will pull his axe rather painfully out of his hands. If he breaks in in the same way and wants to take your axe from you, then leg him do so, and grab hold on the outside of his right armpit with your left hand, and push him away forcefully as you grab hold of the axe with the right hand again and step back. Then strike a death strike to his head with the blade.  
  
If he thrusts from below towards you like this and you also stand with your right foot opposite him, then fall over his Rappier off-line with your short edge and with that take his thrust away outward on your right side (as in illustration). Then immediately wind a thrust in over his blade to his face or chest.

Should you perceive his thrust over your blade, then drive out high with your long edge and with that take it away. Then immediately yank your right leg back and strike him with the long edge to his right forward set leg. With that yank yourself back away from him.

'''[8] The Concealed Thrust against a Winding Thrust from Below'''
+
[8] '''A death strike against a pull'''
  
Hold yourself like this with this technique at the closing: stand with your right foot forward and fire a long winding thrust from below to his body.
+
Excute this device as follows: step forward with your right foot and hold the axe with both hands on the shaft and strike a death strike to his head with the blade. If he comes at you like this, and you are standing with your left foot forward, then turn the front end in between his arms and put the axe on the right side of his neck, and thus you may parry his strike with the back end. Then you pull the opponent toward you with the axe blade. If your opponent does this, on the other hand, then switch hands from below with the right hand on the outside of the axe and this way you press the opponent's axe down and cut him in the left side of his neck with the axe blade. If he uses the same technique, then parry his strike you your right and thrust him in the face with the front end, and move away from him.  
  
If he assaults you with a long thrust like this and you also stand with your right foot opposite him and hold your Rappier in your right hand behind your head such that the point hangs to the rear on your back (as in illustration), then yank your right leg back and with that go out from his thrust. Then immediately quickly step in towards him again and wind the Concealed Thrust from your right side to your left behind your head forward to his face or chest. If he intends to parry this, then step again in the triangle on your right side and strike or thrust to his left arm. With that yank yourself back away from him.

'''[9] A Strike from above against a Parry with Rappier and Dagger'''  
+
[9] '''A strike from above against a thrust'''
  
It happens like this with this technique at the closing: stand with your left foot opposite him and hold your Dagger in your left hand on your left hip with the point towards the opponent. Then immediately strike towards his head with the long edge of your Rappier.
+
When stepping toward each other, stand with your left foot forward and hold your axe raised before your face with both hands. Then step forward with your right foot and strike your opponent in the head with the axe blade. If your opponent comes at you thus, and you are standing with your left foot forward, holding the axe with the left hand on the front end facing the opponent, and the right hand the back end, then parry his strike between your hands on the shaft, and thrust him in the neck with your front end. If your opponent does this, then remove his thrust with the front end to your right, and thrust him over his left arm into his face. If he does this, then parry with the axe blade, step forward with the right foot and thrust him in the chest with the front end between his arms, and move away from him while turning the axe around.  
  
If he strikes from above like this towards you and you stand with your right foot opposite him and hold your Rappier and Dagger next to each other in the Versazung (parrying position), then wind over his Rappier with your Dagger (as in illustration) and step in quickly with your left leg. During the step drop your arm over his blade such that it stays under your left shoulder. Then immediately thrust your Dagger low to his groin and your Rappier high to his body such that the long edge is turned up.

If he goes at you like this with both thrusts from below and above, then go up with your Dagger from below to his Rappier and take it away to your left side. Then step inward with your right leg in front of his left and at the same time wind your long edge upward and shove powerfully away from you with the Bogen (bow) under his left shoulder. Then immediately step back again and strike or thrust to his body.

If he thrusts low towards you like this, then strike his thrust away with an Unterhaw and immediately follow outward with your right leg and thrust to his body. With that strike back away from him.

<p>In this device you step forward with your left foot and hold your spear and the shield together in your left hand and the sword in the right, and from there you thrust at your opponent's throat with the spearpoint. If he does this, on the other hand, and you, just as him, are standing with your left foot forward, with the shield and sword in your left hand and the spear in your right, you parry his thrust with the pommel of your sword, and then you thrust at his face with your spear. If he attacks you with a thrust in the same manner, you raise the shield and parry thus. But if he parries with his shield, you direct your thrust into his visor. Furthermore, should he do the same thing, you parry his attack to your right with your shield, drop your spear, step forward with your right foot, grab the sword with your right hand, and strike him in his right elbow and step away from him.</p>

If he thrusts low towards you like this and you also stand opposite him with your left foot, then drop the crossguard of your Dagger onto his Rappier’s blade and with that take his thrust out to your left side.
+
<p>Thus you perform this device: step forward with your left foot and hold your sword and spear together with both hands and thrust to your opponent's groin with your spear point. Of he attacks you below in this manner, and you are also standing with your left foot forward, holding your spear in both hands on your right side, then parry his thrust on the shield, throw it and thrust him in the throat with your spear point. If he thrusts at you in the same way, and you have thrown away your shield as well, then step back with your left foot and remove his thrust with the front end of your spear. Then you step forward again with your left foot and aim a thrust at his visor. If he attacks you in the same manner, then parry with your spear, drop it, step back with your left foot and draw your sword, grab it with both hands and step forward with your left foot and thrust him in the neck with the tip. If he parries this as well, then grab hold with both hands on the middle of the blade and strike him in the head with cross and pommel, and then you step away from him.</p>

<p>If you wish to win the victory in this device, then you must do as follows: step forward with your left foot and hold the spear with both hands on your right side, and from there you step forward with your right foot and thrust the opponent in the throat with your spear. If your opponent does this, on the other hand, then parry with the front end of your spear on your left side. Then step forward with your right foot and thrust him in the groin. If he attacks you this way, then parry with the spear, drop the spear and shield step back with the right foot. If he steps back like this, then drop your spear and shield as well, and grab his shield with both hands. If he has taken your shield in this manner, then draw your sword, step forward with your right foot again and turn a thrust into your opponent's visor. Should he parry with your shield that he has taken from you then change grips and take hold with both hands on the blade and strike him in the head with cross and pommel, turn the sword around and step away from him.</p>

| <p>[9] '''An onset with the spear against a parry with the sword.'''</p>
  
If he thrusts towards you like this and you stand opposite him with your left leg, then take this away with Dagger and Rappier crosswise to your right side (as in illustration). Then immediately yank your Rappier up away from his Rappier’s blade and thrust low to his body, but remain with the Dagger on his Rappier. With that he can injure you knowing to thrust.
+
<p>Do as follows in this play: when engaging each other, you and your opponent, you step forward with your left leg, drop your shield, and grab sword and spear together in both hands, and push the spearpoint into the left side of your opponent's neck. If your opponent does this to you, and you are also standing with your left foot forward, you remove his thrust on your left side, drop shield and spear, step back with your left foot and draw your sword. Then you step forward again with the right hand on the hilt and the left on the middle of the blade, and thrust him with the point on the inside of his left elbow. If he parries with the forward end of his spear, then you quickly raise the sword, take two steps forward and thrust him in the visor, and then you step away from him.</p>
 
+
| {{paget|page:MS Dresd.C.94|178r|png}}
If he thrusts low towards you like this, then yank your Dagger forward, drop it well forward on his Rappier’s blade and take his thrust away. Then immediately step back with your right leg and thrust again low to his body. Thus you avoid injury and may once again come together with him to work.

| <p>[10] '''A throw in armoured combat'''</p>
'''[16] The Mordwurff (Fatal Throw) against a Thrust'''
 
  
Hold yourself like this with this technique: stand with your right foot opposite him and hold your Dagger with your left hand behind your body. He then also stands with his right foot opposite you and fires a high thrust out of the Bogen towards your face or chest. So drive up with your Rappier onto his Rappier’s blade, and with that take his high thrust away to your left side. Then immediately you will strike him similarly from above so that he must parry high with his Dagger. You then thrust to the opening on his body. Then yank your Dagger forward with your left hand such that the pommel stands on the ball (of the thumb) and the fingers directly on the hilt. Then immediately throw your Dagger with strength at his body (as in illustration). Thus you throw him to the ground.
+
<p>Perform this play thus: step forward with left leg, and thrust your spear into your opponent's visor. If he does this, and you are standing with left leg forward as well, then parry his thrust with your spear, drop shield and spear, step back with your left foot and draw your sword, step forward again with your left foot and thrust him with the point in his throat. If he has dropped his spear as well and draws his sword, and parries with it, then you thrust him in the groin. Then you drop your sword and grab hold of his crotch with your hands. If he tries to do the same, then you quickly put your right foot behind his left and put your right hand around his neck, pull against you hard, and hit him in the visor with the shield your holding in your left hand. Then you move your left foot inside of your opponent's left, and pull towards you below as you push away from you above, and thus you throw him over.</p>

<p>In this device you step forward with your left foot and hold your spear and the shield together in your left hand and the sword in the right, and from there you thrust at your opponent's throat with the spearpoint. If he does this, on the other hand, and you, just as him, are standing with your left foot forward, with the shield and sword in your left hand and the spear in your right, you parry his thrust with the pommel of your sword, and then you thrust at his face with your spear. If he attacks you with a thrust in the same manner, you raise the shield and parry thus. But if he parries with his shield, you direct your thrust into his visor. Furthermore, should he do the same thing, you parry his attack to your right with your shield, drop your spear, step forward with your right foot, grab the sword with your right hand, and strike him in his right elbow and step away from him.</p>

If he thrusts you like this to your face and you stand with your left foot forward, parry this with your Buckler in your left hand, then immediately spring with your left leg well to his left side and thrust to his right. Should he perceive the thrust and parry it, then strike his forward set leg and with that spring back and wind the point double to his face.

<p>Step forward with your left foot, when entering before your opponent, and hold the spear on the middle of the blade on your right side in your right hand and have your shield hanging over your chest, and from here you thrust to your opponent's visor. If your opponent were to do this on the other hand, and you are standing with your left foot forward, holding your spear on your at chest level on your right side with both hands then parry with the spear and thrust him in the throat with the spear. When you have done this, you drop both shield and spear, draw your sword and thrust him in the groin. If he is doing this to you, then parry his thrust on the middle of your blade between your hands, step forward with your right foot and thrust him in the visor. If he parries on the middle of his sword between his hands, then you hit him with the cross and pommel in his forward leg, and move back from him.</p>

It happens like this in this technique: spring in with both feet and thrust to his face or chest. If he parries this with his Buckler, then set your left leg to the rear and strike to his left arm. Then immediately spring in with your left foot and thrust to his right side. If he sets this aside with his Buckler, then strike inward from below to his left arm. Then immediately follow outward with your right leg and wind the thrust to his face or chest.

If he fires the thrust and strike at you like this, then parry him with your Buckler and immediately spring in with your right foot and thrust him powerfully under your left arm to his right side. Should he perceive this thrust, strike his Sword away with an Oberhaw, immediately let your Sword fall, step with your left leg between both of his legs, and grab with your right hand over and around his left shoulder and with your left under his right shoulder and also around his body (shown in illustration). Thus you have him in the Wag and can throw him wherever you want.
+
<p>If it were to happen that a mounted opponent rides toward you in order to harm you, then put the back end of the pike in the ground and point the front end toward the opponent. Above all, make sure to be able to use the pike on both sides, so that if your mounted opponent comes at you wielding a lance you can defend yourself against him on both sides. When he engages you, you strike away his lance from your right to your left side. If he continues forward you direct you pike into his face, and he will throw himself off the saddle. Then you can draw your rapier and do whatever you wish to him.</p>

| <p>[2] '''How a rider is to evade the pike of a foot-soldier.'''</p>
 +
 
 +
<p>This is what you do against the rider: Step forward with your left foot and hold the pike with both hands on your right side, with the point toward the opponent, and from here you continue forward with your right foot and turn the point into his face. If you, being the rider, see the opponent doing this to you, then fasten the reins in the hook by the belt, and remove the lance from the arret and hold it across(before you) with both hands, and remove the opponent's thrust thus between both your hands to your left, and then you insert the lance again into the arret, i.e. the lance rest, a hook being there to prevent the lance from going backwards under your arm, and then you engage your opponent at full speed and run him down.</p>

'''[21] A Thrust with an Abnemen'''

If he thrusts towards you like this, then take this away with your Buckler and immediately strike to his head.
+
<p>This is how you use the pike in this device: If you see the rider coming at you, and you are on foot, then stand with your left foot forward and hold the pike with the left hand by the chest in free position, and with the right hand on the back end, point toward the opponent. If he then attacks you with his lance, then turn the pike from your left side to his right so that you remove his lance. Then you take a step forward with the right foot and thrust forcefully with the pike into his face. Then, make sure that the back end of the pike is in the ground for good defence, so that the rider cannot hurt you in any way.</p>

<p>This is how you defend yourself with your pike against an attacking rider: Step forward with your left foot and hold your pike with the point aimed toward the opponent for a thrust. If your opponent on foot does this towards you, you spur your horse toward him and touch his lance by the front part, and remove his thrust to your right, and simultaneously as you parry, you turn the horse toward the opponent, and put his pike into your right armpit, drop the lance out of the lance rest, spur the horse toward the opponent, draw your sword and run him through with it.</p>

<p>If you wish to obtain the victory in this device, you must do as follows: If a rider rides at you with his lance, you step forward with your left foot and hold the halberd with the axe head toward him, and if he attacks with his lance, you hook the lance with your halberd and raise it, and you have averted his thrust. Then you thrust with the point into his face as hard as you can. If a footman does this to you, being the rider, and you cannot use your lance, you throw it out of your lance rest and turn the horse to the left, draw your sword and strike at his halberd, and you have parried his attack thus. Then you spur your horse toward him and run him through with the sword.</p>

Hold yourself like this when you come together in this technique: step in with your left leg and thrust with your Sword to his face.
+
<p>This is how you use the halberd in this device against a horseman with a lance: If the rider comes at you with his lance, then step with your left foot forward toward the opponent's right side and strike at the front end of his lance with your halberd from your left side to his right, and you have averted his attack. If you then press down his lance, you will force the rider to fall to the ground struck backwards, and he cannot harm you anymore. If you do this, make sure to press down the lance swiftly with the halberd, so that he strikes himself off the saddle. Then you may fight against him however you want.</p>

If he thrusts to your face like this and you stand with your right foot opposite him, then take this away with your Buckler on your left side and at the same time thrust him with your sword extended to his face (as in illustration). If he likewise takes this away with his Buckler, then step in with your left leg and thrust high over his Buckler with an extended arm to his face such that the short edge is directed downwards.

If he thrusts high to your face like this, then drive your Buckler upwards and displace his thrust. Then immediately step back with your left leg and strike to his left arm.
+
<p>In this device you do as follows: Hold your lance over your right leg and ride towards your opponent, and put the lance in the arret. If you are on foot and standing with your left leg forward, holding your halberd for a strike from above while waiting for your opponent, and when he then gets close, you direct a strike from your left side to his right against his lance and press it down hard, and if you then step with your right foot in triangle the rider will break his lance. If he tries to draw his sword you run toward him with two steps and place the halberd head around his neck and pull to you, and you will throw him off the horse.</p>

It happens like this when you come for the opponent in this technique: stand with your right foot forward and do an extended thrust to his chest.
+
<p>Do thus: Raise the spear over your right leg with your right hand and as you spur your horse toward your opponent you insert the spear into the arret, and aim for his visor(!). If the rider comes at you in this manner, and you have neither pike nor halberd to protect yourself with, only the sword, then draw it and hold it up in front of your face, and move his sword upward with the cross in this manner, than you have defended yourself against his thrust. Then you raise the sword over your head, step in triangle and cut the horse's sinews so that it falls to the ground and you may do whatever you wish with the opponent.</p>

If he then thrusts towards you like this and you likewise stand with your right foot opposite him, then drop your Buckler downward and displace his thrust with that and at the same time snap from below to thrust to his chest such that your long edge is turned upwards. If he displaces this with his Buckler, then spring with your left foot in front of his right and strike his right arm.

<p>In this engagement with an enemy on foot you do as follows: If you see the foot soldier coming against you, then ride toward him in full speed and drawn sword, and when you get close to him you strike him in the head from your right side to his left. If the rider comes at you in this manner, then step forward with your left foot and draw your rapier, and hold up the buckler in front of your face with your left hand and remove his strike thus.

Note this technique when you go together and the opponent has you in the bind: stand with your left foot forward and he stands opposite you with his right.

Then you step forward as fast a you can with to his right side, and grab hold with your left hand in his right hand and push him away in this manner, and thus he will not be able to fight against you. Then you pierce his neck with your rapier as hard as you can, and in this manner the horseman will fall.</p>

If he then strikes at you with pommel and cross, drive high with your Buckler and displace this. Then step back twice as you take your sword in your hand again. If he then travels after you, quickly go in again onto his blade and wind your point to his face.

If you see your opponent ride at you in this manner, then remove his thrust with the long edge to your left and drop both rapier and buckler and run toward the opponent, grab hold with the left hand on the outside of his right arm, and the inside of his elbow, and pull down, and at the same time you grab hold with your right hand in the left side of his neck, and you will throw him to the ground without risk of injury.</p>

It happens like this when you go together: stand with your left leg forward and bind on his blade such that your long edge is turned upward near the point and opposite his chest.

<p>This is how you perform this device: If the rider comes at you, then stand with your right foot forward and draw your rapier quickly. If he then draws his sword and is wishes to run you through with his point, then move your rapier up to his sword and remove his attack on his right side. Then make sure to get close to the opponent, and grab hold below in his right leg, and raise it up to his left side. And thrust him in the face with the rapier and he must wall to the ground.</p>

<p>When you are on horseback, then do as follows in this device: Hold the lance in your right hand in the handle raised over the right leg by the saddle bow, and the point upward, and hold the reins with the left hand. Then you spur the horse and insert the lance into the lance rest and aim for the opponent's<ref>Latin text says “footman's”, which is probably just a miss on the scribe's behalf.</ref> chest. If your opponent rides at you in this manner, and you are without armour, holding a warhammer or cudgel in your right hand and the reins in the left, then ride toward him so that your right side gets to his right. Then you raise the right arm and remove the opponent's lance from your right side to his left, and in this manner you will avert his attack. If you then continue forward you will be safe from harm.</p>

<p>Make sure in the very beginning to insert the lance into the lance rest, and when you ride toward him, you lower the point. Then you raise the point quickly again and turn it into his face or chest. If your opponent comes at you this, you ride at him as well and hold the sword in your right hand over the right leg in the saddle and the reins in your left hand, and move the sword to the front end of his lance and move it to the right, and you have averted his attack. Then you continue forward to his right side and lift up his lance with the cross on your sword high over his shoulder and strike the pommel into his visor.

<p>If your opponent comes at you on horse with his lance in the lance rest, then draw your sword and hold it before you with the point upward, and ride forward with your arm raised and as you ride forward you lower the point down on your left side. Then, when his lance gets close to you, you turn the hand so that the long edge faces up, and the short edge lies against the inside of the opponent's lance, and quickly deflect the lance with the cross to your left, and you have averted your opponent's thrust. Then make sure to pull up the sword again and thrust with the point, or hit him with the pommel in the face.</p>

If your opponent tries to do the same, you throw the lance out of the lance rest and grab hold with your right hand in his right and remove his attack thus. If you then continue forward you will throw him off the saddle. </p>

If he thrusts towards you like this and you stand with your right foot forward, then take your Sword to your Buckler in your left hand and immediately grab his sword blade with your right hand (as in illustration).
+
<p>When your opponent has inserted his lance into the lance rest, then put your reins into the lower armour hook and hold the lance across before you, so that the point faces upward and the thicker end down on your right, and move your lance point to the outside of the opponent's lance on his right side, and if you then move his lance with your left side to his left, you have averted his thrust and he is forced to drop his lance. If you then ride on, and make sure to lift up the lance with both arms in the air and turn in the point into the opponent and thrust him in the face or armpit. If your opponent comes at you in this manner, then remove his thrust with the right arm on the outside, that way his thrust is in vain.</p>

If he displaces this, then strike from above with a winding strike to his head. With that yank yourself back away from him.

<p>When you both have inserted your lances into the lance rests, and are about to ride toward each other, to attack each other, and you wish to trick your opponent with said technique, then turn your horse and pull the lance out of the lance rest, and pretend to flee, and pay attention to whether he pursues you with his lance in the lance rest. Then, when you see him coming toward you, you wait a little while until he comes close to you, move the lance over your right shoulder so that the point ends up between the opponent's horse's front legs, and bind with the outside of his lance. Then you hold the lance firmly with your right hand in the handle and lift the arm, as well as the lance, and you will have thwarted your opponent's thrust as well as tripped his horse. If you then turn from your right to left so that you again is facing your opponent, you may fight against him however you want.</p>

<p>In this fight you do as follows: When you have inserted the lance into the lance rest, then charge ahead with force to your opponent and aim a thrust to the upper part of his chest.

Then you put the reins in the lower hook in the belt of your armour, raise the lance over your head and grab hold of the front end of the lance with the right hand and with the left on the back end over your head and in this way turn in the lance base in his neck, and if you continue charging forward you will throw him out of the saddle.</p>

| <p>[29] '''A lower parry against a thrust to your horse's chest.'''</p>
 +
 
 +
<p>This is what you do in this device: As soon as you have inserted the lance into the lance rest, you charge at your opponent and aim a thrust at the chest of the opponent's horse. If your opponent directs a thrust at your horse's chest in the same manner, you put the reins into the lower armour hook and ride toward him with the lance pointing to the ground, and parry to your left, so that his lance is on the outside. Then you turn down the lance handle with the right hand over your right leg and lift up your with left hand, that way you will throw the opponent's lance away when you ride past him from your left side to his left, and simultaneously you can strike or thrust him.</p>

If he has stepped in towards you like this and thrusts to your groin, then displace this with your Sword and immediately step outside of his right leg (should be left) with your right leg, hold your Sword together with your Buckler in your left hand, and immediately grab over both of this arms with your right hand and pull towards you (as in illustration).
+
<p>Insert the lance into the lance rest and charge with full force at your opponent and aim a thrust to his horse. If your opponent does this, taking you by surprise so that you have no time to insert the lance into the lance rest, then ride toward him at the same time, and hold the lance with the point to the ground and the lance handle in your right hand in front of your visor, that way you will remove his attack and throw the opponent over as well as his horse. When you see the opponent fall, you quickly let go of the lance with your right hand and ride past him on his left side.</p>

If he is grabbing over you like this, then hold your Buckler to your Sword in your right hand and immediately set your left hand under his right shoulder and throw the Hacken (leg hook) with your right foot (should be left) around his right and with that shove him away from you from above. Thus you throw him backwards.

 +
 +
<p>When you both have drawn your swords, and inserted your rein in the lower armour hooks, and you, wishing to come out victorious in this battle, are holding the sword with your right hand on the hilt and the left in the middle of the blade and the point toward the opponent. If your opponent comes at you in this manner and charges at you to thrust, then ride toward him in the same position as in the beginning, so that your sword enters in front on the outside of his left hand. Then you let go of the sword with your left and continue forward with your right so that you pull his left hand that is holding the sword from your right side to his left, and in this manner you can lock his sword, and his attack is rendered useless. But if your opponent has locked you in the same way, you let go of the hilt with your right hand and grab hold firmly in the inside of his arm and ride past him, and you will get free.</p>

Then you put the right hand on his face so that the reins end up well up over your right arm, and if you then ridepast him you will throw him over as well as his horse. </p>

| <p>[45] '''A way of grabbing hold of the mouth piece of a rearing horse.'''</p>
  
If he thrusts towards you like this, displace it with your long edge and Buckler, strike his sword to his right side and immediately thrust from below to his chest. If he displaces this with his Buckler, then strike him double to his forward set leg.
+
<p>If you wish to emerge victorious in this battle, then pull out your sword and ride toward the opponent, and strike from above to his head or turn the pommel into his visor. If your opponent does this on the other hand, then ride toward him as well, but do not draw your sword, but instead grab hold of the mouthpiece on the opponent's horse as you may see on the picture and lift up on your right side. If the horse is about to rear forcefully, then quickly ride close to him and lift up the mouthpiece, and both the horse and the opponent will fall over at the same time. But if the horse is not as incline to rear up on its hind legs, then do not use this technique, as it is much too risky. Instead you grab hold underneath on his right arm with your right hand and you will get away from the opponent safe from harm.</p>

<p>When you ride toward each other, but neither of you want to draw your swords, but both want to get ahead of the other, then do as follows: If he tries to grab hold of the reins of your horse, then ride forward as quickly as you can toward him and grab hold with right hand in his left shoulder and make sure that you get a firm grip in his neck and helmet. Then you kick with your right spur in the opponent's right foot, and pull hard to you so that he is weakened both above and below.

If you then stand like this with the left leg opposite him and he thrusts afterwards, drop your Sword on his blade and push downward so that you displace his thrust (as in illustration). Then immediately strike to the left side of his head. If he displaces this with his Buckler, then take a winding thrust behind your head forward to his face or chest.

<p>In this fight, where neither has drawn the sword but decided to attack with your bare hands, and your opponent tries to pull you out of your saddle and put you on his own horse, and he then is about to grab hold of your left shoulder, then reach with your right hand over his right arm and push away from you, and you will get free. Then you pull his right arm over your saddle bow, i.e. front and upper part of your saddle and lean over it with your upper body. Then you turn your horse from his right to your left, and you will pull him out of his saddle.</p>

When you go together in this technique hold yourself like this: step in with your right leg and thrust with your Sword to his groin.
+
<p>When riding toward each other without having drawn your swords, then do as follows in this device: when you close in on your opponent, holding your right hand resting on the right leg, then grab hold quickly onto your opponent's left hand holding the reins and pull to you as hard as you can. If your opponent has grabbed hold of you in the same way, however, you put your palm on his visor as fast as you can and when you ride past him you will push him backwards out of the saddle. If he does this, on the other hand, you let go of his left with your right hand and then you strike out with your arm to the left on the inside of his arm, just by the elbow, and you will get free again, and his work is for naught.</p>

If he thrusts low towards you like this and you likewise stand with your right leg opposite him, take this away with your Sword to your left side and at the same time thrust your Buckler into his face (as in illustration). If he then fires out with his Buckler and takes this away, step in with your left leg and drive out with your Sword and immediately thrust from below to his chest.

If he thrusts from below towards you like this, then step back with your right leg and displace this with your Sword. Then immediately spring in once again with your right leg to his right side and strike with a Zwirchhaw to his right arm. If he displaces this with his Sword, then strike with an Oberhaw to his head. Then immediately yank yourself back from him.

<p>If someone comes up from behind who is faster than you, and you both are empty handed, and your opponent comes up with his left side on your right, and reaches around your neck with his left arm from behind and takes a firm hold of you to abduct you ore throw you against him, then make sure as soon as the opponent comes close, that you wrap your right arm around your opponent's on the outside. Then you let go of the reins with your left hand and insert them in the lower armour hook, and use it(the left hand) to support your right and you will get free of him above, and at the same time you hold his arm against your chest. If you continue forward, you will have him captured. But if you want to throw him to the ground, you pull his arm over the saddle bow and hold it firmly, and grab the reins with your left hand again. Then you turn your horse from the opponent's left side you your right, as you hold his arm as hard as you can, and you will throw him to the ground.</p>

<p>When you both ride toward each other empty handed, and you wish to emerge victorious, you hold your right hand over the right leg, with the arm close to your body, and ride in with your right side against your opponent's right. When you have come together, you move your right arm in front over and around his neck and push yourself against him with the upper body, and as you push away from you above with the arm on his neck, and you will throw him backwards. If your opponent holds you in the same grip, and wants to drag you out of the saddle, then move your right arm over his right elbow and press down hard. Then you grab hold with both hands in your saddle bow, and continue riding forward, that way the opponent will throw himself. This technique can be done in many ways.</p>

'''[40] An Absezen with the Buckler against an Oberhaw'''
 
When you go together with this technique then hold yourself like this: step in with your left leg and thrust from behind your Buckler forward to his face.
 
  
If he thrusts towards you like this and you stand with your right foot opposite him, then drive against him with your Buckler and displace it. Then immediately step in with your left leg and strike with an Oberhaw to his head. If he displaces this to his left side with his Sword, then spring with your left leg to his right side in the triangle and thrust behind your head forward to his chest.

<p>When you both charge at each other empty handed, and you wish win the victory, then do as follows: hold your arms close to the body and the reins hard with your left hand near your chest by the saddle bow. Then you ride in with your left side onto your opponent's left side as close as you can, and grab hold with your left hand(sic) onto the opponent's visor. If he attacks you thus, then insert the reins into the front armour hook, and grab hold with your left hand on the inside of his elbow and press down to your right as hard as you can. Then you put your right hand behind his neck and grab hold in his visor by the right eye or around his chin, and pull forward as you press down hard. When you have done this, you take your reins again with your left hand and hold hard in the saddle bow. Then, if you press down, and at the same time pull to you above as you ride past, and kick the opponent's left foot with your left just by the stirrup, you will throw him off the horse easily.</p>

<p>When you both ride toward each other and you then ride in with your right side onto the opponent's left, as soon as you get close to him, reach with your hand over the opponent's horse's neck and grab hold of the steel rods on its mouthpiece. If you then pull upward, the opponent's horse will rear. But if your opponent tries to do the same to you, just as he leans forward to grab hold of the mouth piece, you grab hold of him and wrap your right arm around the back of his neck and pull him to you as you press him down as hard as you can against your saddle bow. Then your grab hold with your left hand in his left and press down, you have averted his attack, as well as you have pinned him down and may capture him.</p>

<p>When you both have clashed together, and you have lost your lance, you turn your horse quickly and run back to it, and as soon as you dismount you hold the reins with your left hand so that you are holding your horse turned toward your opponent. This way the opponent cannot hurt you, and both him and his horse will wear out. Furthermore, you can keep yourself safe from the opponent as long as you wish and at the same time retrieve your lance. When you have gotten it back, you hold it with both hands, with the left above and the right below by the handle, and press the back end of the lance into the ground. Then you let your horse go. When your opponent then comes at you at full speed, and has only inserted his lance into the lance rest on its middle, you raise the point of your lance firmly at his face and remove his lance in the inside to your left and down on his right side. Then you raise your right arm and lower your left and press down the lance in the ground in front of the horse and if you then at the same time step to the left of your opponent, he will fall to the ground and lose his lance. Then you may fight with him however you please.</p>

| <p>[73] '''A tripping of both horse and rider.'''</p>
 +
 
 +
<p>If your mounted opponent has drawn his sword and charges at you, and you are on the ground, then hold your lance with right hand on the handle and the left on the front end, right foot forward. When the opponent comes charging at you at full speed, then grab hold of the lance for a thrust with the front end with both hands, and thrust the lance point between the opponent's horse's front legs and raise the back end of the lance as high as you can with both hands, and you will fell both horse and rider. Then you may use whatever techniques you want against him.</p>

| <p>[1] '''Instruction on how both combatants shall engage each other'''</p>
 +
 +
<p>Thus the two armoured fighters enter the arena or enclosure to fight. Both combatants are for the most part armed with a spear, a sword, and a dagger, and they fight the whole time on life and death, until one is so exhausted he can no longer fend for his life. If one of them is so weak that he is no longer able to fight, he must give up all his property to the victor, and the victor can either accept, or take the life of his opponent. When engaging into battle, they call to the Lord. If you are standing with your left foot forward, holding your spear in your left hand held straight out with the point upward and the back end on the ground, your sword by your left side and your right hand on the hilt, and if your opponent then is standing in armour before you in the same manner, and you are then standing with your left foot forward, holding your spear in the middle with your right hand, you raise your arm above your head so that the point is directed toward your opponent and your sword rests on your left shoulder with your left hand on the hilt, then make sure to throw or twist the spear into his face or left armpit. Of your opponent comes at you thus, then hold your spear upright in front of you, and in this manner you will parry his attack to your left, and if you at the same time move to the side, you have defended yourself from your opponent's thrust.</p>

 +
 
 +
<p>Put your left foot forward and hold your spear in the middle of the shaft with your left hand and the arm stretched out over your head, your sword in your right hand over your chest with the tip pointing upward, and thrust the spear into the opponent's chest. If he does this to you, and you are standing with your left foot forward holding your spear before you in the middle of the shaft with both hands, then raise the spear and remove his thrust to your right. Then step forward with your right foot arms raised and thrust to his face. If he tries to do this to you, you parry his thrust to your left with the left arm. Grab hold of his spear with the left hand thrust him with the sword into his face or armpit. This will cause your opponent to let go of his spear.</p>

'''[46] An Oberhaw against a Cut'''
 
  
Hold yourself like this with this technique when you go together: step in with your left leg and hold your Buckler extended in his face. At the same time yank your sword up high and strike strongly to his head.

| <p>[3] '''One more technique as the previous'''</p>
  
If he strikes towards you from above like this and you likewise stand opposite him with your left leg, drive against his strike with your Buckler to take it away. Then immediately cut with your Sword through his face (as in illustration).
+
<p>Step forward with your left foot and hold your spear in the left hand and the sword drawn, and thrust with the spear at your opponent's face or chest. If your opponent attacks you in the same manner, and you are standing with your left foot forward, you remove his thrust with the spear from right to left. When you have parried this way, you let go of the spear and grab hold with the left hand in the middle of the sword and try to thrust him into the chest or armpit. If your opponent on the other hand attacks you thus, then step forward with your right foot and place it by his left and remove his thrust with the spear from right to left, and thus you have parried his thrust.</p>

| <p>[4] '''Another technique with the spear'''</p>
  
If he winds towards your face like this, set this aside with your long edge and immediately strike and thrust. With that wind yourself back from him.
+
<p>Step forward with your left foot and hold the spear with the right hand in the middle with the point straight upward, and your sword in the left hand by your left hip. If your opponent is then standing in armour before you, with right leg forward, sword and spear held together with both hands over his forward leg, and his left hand on the hilt by the hip, then you hold the spear in the middle with your right hand, raise it over your head and thrust the tip into the visor of your opponent. If he attacks you thus, then you step forward with the left foot and raise sword and spear from left to right and remove his thrust to your right side. Then you let go of the spear and thrust him into the visor with the sword. If your opponent thrusts at your visor in the same manner, you step back with your left leg and grab the hilt with your right hand and your left on the middle of the blade, step forward again with the left foot, raise the sword and turn away his point with your forward point you your right, and thrust twice to his head.</p>

<p>Do the lower guard as follows: stand with your left foot forward and hold the sword with left hand on the middle of the blade and the right hand on the hilt over your right leg. Then raise the sword to a winding, and direct a thrust to your opponent's right hand. If he does this, then you direct your tip on the inside over the right arm. Should your opponent do this, and you are standing in the upper guard and with the left foot forward, you move your hilt from below and turn it in over your opponent's left arm, grab hold with your right hand above in his hilt and move both swords together. If he holds your sword in the same manner, then let go of the hilt with your right hand and grab hold of the tip of your sword, step back with the left foot and away from the opponent.</p>

<p>Do this device as follows: step forward with the left foot and hold your sword in front over your left leg with the point towards the opponent. Then, step forward with the right foot, raise the sword and direct the pommel towards your opponent's face. If you are then standing with your right foot forward, and see your opponent moving his pommel towards you, you press down with the middle of the sword and turn in your pommel with the right hand from underneath on the inside of his right arm. Then you step with the left foot behind his right and lay the sword against his neck. If he should do the same to you, then raise the pommel with the right hand over your head and step back with the right foot, and you will turn away from him in the previous guard.</p>

<p>In this guard you do as follows: stand with your left foot forward and hold your sword to your right with the point downward. Then step forward with your right foot and raise the pommel towards your opponent's face. Then, you move the sword in with the left hand between both his arms and lay the long edge against the opponent's neck. If he does this to you, and you are standing with your right foot forward, you turn your sword up outside his left elbow and put the pommel against his neck. Should the opponent do this, however, and tries to throw you over, you raise the sword forcefully and direct it over both his arms with the short edge, and enter into said guard.</p>

If he then stands before you with right foot forward and tries to thrust into your forward left foot, then step forward with the right foot and remove his attack by the cross of the sword and turn in the pommel into his face. If he tries to do the same to you, then pull him to the right with the cross on his right hand, and you will take his strength away. Then you strike with the pommel into his face. If he were about to do the same to you then parry the strike between both arms in the middle of the sword and thrust your point into his right side. Should he parry this with his forward point, then step back and hit your pommel into his head and back away from him.</p>

<p>When you engage your opponent and draw near him in battle, put your left foot forward and hold the sword so that the pommel lies against your left leg and the left hand is held on the middle of the blade, and direct the point into your opponent's face. If you stand with left foot forward, holding the sword with the pommel against your chest on your right side you aim with the point towards the opponent, grab hold with the left hand in the middle of the blade and remove his sword to your right. Then you step forward with your right foot and turn the pommel into his face. If he tries to do this to you, then parry between both your hands, step back with the left foot and thrust him in the neck with the point and strike him in the right leg with the cross and the pommel, and back away from him.</p>

<p>In this device you do as follows: step forward with your right foot towards your opponent, and hold the sword with the point directed to the ground, and from there you thrust him in the front of his left foot past his right leg. If you are standing with your right foot forward and he thrusts at your left foot, then move your right arm over his right arm, and remove his thrust in the middle the sword you your right, and then you raise the sword and put the pommel behind his neck and pull to you. If he uses the same technique, you put your cross against his right arm from underneath. Then you change grip on the sword, that is you put your left hand where you hold with your right hand and take hold of the middle of the blad with the right hand. Then you step forward with the left foot and push your opponent away from you thus. If you are thrust back like this, you step back with the right foot and thrust him in the right elbow with your point.</p>

If your opponent tries to do the same to you, and you are standing with your left foot forward, you parry with the point of your sword and turn the pommel into the opponent's left elbow, and press him down on your left side. If he does this, on the other hand, you let go of the sword, take his dagger, and pull him towards you. Then if you take his dagger that you have twisted out of the opponent's hands (sic), put it around his neck, put your left hand under your arm, grab hold of the tip of the dagger and pull towards you, you will throw the opponent on his back with his own dagger.</p>

| <p>[13] '''A death blow against an onset'''</p>
 +
 
 +
<p>In this device you do as follows: stand with your left foot forward and hold your sword outstretched towards your opponent with the left hand on the point. Let go of the hilt with the right hand and move it to the left and strike a death blow to the opponent's head with the cross and pommel. If your opponent tries to do this against you, and you are standing with your left foot forward, left hand on the middle of the blade and the pommel against your left leg, then thrust him in the left elbow with the point. Then you step forward with the right foot and raise the sword and you have averted his strike. If he does the same thing to you, you step back with the left foot and take hold of the hilt again with your right hand, and parry the opponent's thrust on the middle of the blade between your hands, and thrust him swiftly in his forward foot. </p>

 +
 
 +
<p>In this device you put your left foot forward when stepping in before your opponent, and hold sword with the pommel by the left leg and the left hand in the middle of the blade, and from here, you thrust him in the left hand. If he tries to do the same, and you are standing with your right foot forward, also with the left hand on the middle of the middle of the blade and the pommel facing the opponent, then you put the pommel over his right arm, lift the sword up and counter his thrust thus. Then you insert pommel in between his both arms and punch it hard into his chest or neck. If he does the same thing, you raise your pommel and turn it over the right arm, and set on the point of your sword in front by his right arm, and push up. That way you have averted his attack. Then, let go of the hilt with the right hand and join it to support your left, step back with the left foot and strike him in the head with the pommel. </p>

<p>If you want to perform this device, then do as follows: stand with left foot forward and hold the sword out raised before your face, grab hold with the left hand in the hilt and the right hand in the point. Then you move the pommel in under your opponent's arm and punch it into his right side. After that, you move your sword behind your back with the right hand on the shoulder, and raise up your left hand, and you have executed this technique correctly. If your opponent does this, however, and is about to step into your right side, you place the right foot on the outside behind his left, grab hold with the left hand on the hilt and the right hand in the middle of the blade, and if you then turn in the sword over his left arm and the middle of his sword, you will reach his throat, and if you then press down with the left hand and pull the right hand above to your right, you will force the opponent to fall backwards. </p>

<p>If you wish to be victorious in this fight, you do thus: step forward with your left foot and hold the hilt over your head and the left hand in the middle of the blade, and thrust from above at your opponent's chest. If your opponent does this, however, and you are standing with your right foot forward, you parry with the cross to your right and punch him in the face with the pommel from below.<ref>The text is a bit ambiguous on how this is done, but judging from the picture it seems as the you are already having the pommel on your right side and the strike to the face and the parry is done in the same motion.</ref> If he does the same to you, you move his strike down with the sword between both your hands. Then you move the sword to the left under his right arm and place the pommel over his sword by his right hand and pull him to your right. Moreover, should he do the same, you turn your pommel and hilt over his sword between both his arms, and press down, that way you will punch the point into the head of the opponent. Then you turn the sword around and move away from him. </p>

<p>When entering before your opponent, step forward with your left foot turn the sword around from right to left and join left and right hand together in the middle of the blade and strike a death blow at the opponent's head. If you are then standing with your right foot forward and he does this to you, you parry his strike between both your hands in the middle of the blade, pull his sword to your left with the cross and punch the pommel into his face. When you have done this, drop the sword grab hold around his neck with your right hand and pull him to you. If he grabs hold of you in this manner and pulls you to him then drop the sword also, and reach over his right leg with the left arm. If he then grabs hold with the left hand in your left elbow and tries to defend himself against you this way, you join your right hand to your left for support and lift up forcefully, then your opponent will be thrown backwards. </p>

<p>Do as follows in this device: stand with your left foot forward and hold your sword with the left hand on the middle of the blade and the right hand on the hilt resting on your right thigh. Then you step forward with your right foot and thrust at your opponent's face. If you are then standing with your right foot forward and he attacks you in said manner, while you are holding the sword with the right hand on the hilt and the left on the middle of the blade, you move his thrust to the left between both your hands. Then you step forward with the left foot and punch him in the neck with the pommel. If he does this to you, then let go of the sword, stoop down and grab hold with the left hand on his left leg. If he does that, you reach with your right hand over his back and grab hold of his right side, and with the left hand into his visor, and if you then push down his torso, you will force him to fall. </p>

<p>If you desire to win this fight then do as follows: step forward with your right foot and hold the sword up high with the left hand on the middle of the blade and the right on the hilt, and the pommel turned facing your opponent and punch it into his face. If he does this to you, then parry with the blade between your hands, lift up and thrust the point at his face. If he tries to do the same, then parry with the pommel, change grip with the right hand so that the sword lies over your back. Then you turn around to the left and move the pommel over the opponent's sword to the left side of his chest, as you pull with the cross. If he is about to pull you to him as described, you put your left leg in front of the opponent's right and lift up, and at the same time put your sword on the back of his neck or back, and push away from you. That way you will get free from him, and he cannot pull you over. </p>

 +
 +
<p>Step forward with your left foot when entering before your enemy, and hold your sword with the right hand on the hilt and the left on the middle of the blade, and turn in a thrust against the opponent's visor. If he tries to do the same to you, and you too are standing with your left foot forward, then turn your head, and the thrust will miss. Then you lay your sword from your left against your opponent's sword and shove him away thus. Then, step forward with your right foot and strike him in the left side under his arm. If he does this, however, you step back with your left foot and parry. Then you join your right hand with your left for support on the middle of the blade and strike him hard in the head with the pommel, turn the sword around and move away from him. </p>

<p>In said device you do as follows: step forward with the left foot and hold your sword on your right with the right hand on the hilt and the left hand on the middle of the blade, and thrust the opponent in the groin. If your opponent attacks you in this manner, and you are standing with your right foot forward, you parry with the point down, and the pommel up, and turn in the pommel from underneath into his face. If he parries on his right side you step forward with the left foot and let go with the right hand on the hilt and join it with your left on the middle of the blade. Then you strike him in the head with cross and pommel and take two steps away from him. </p>

 +
 
 +
<p>In this fight you step forward with your right foot, and hold your sword with your right hand on the hilt and the left on the middle of the blade and punch the pommel into the opponent's groin as hard as you can. If he does this to you, and you are standing with your left foot forward, holding the sword raised up over your head, you grab hold with your left hand on his pommel and move away the attack thus, and then you strike your own pommel into his face. If he tries to do the same to you, then step back with your right foot, and twist the sword out of his left hand, and thus you have defended yourself from his pommel strike. Then you thrust him with the point into his chest and back away from him. </p>

<p>If you wish to be victorious in this device, you do as follows: step forward with your right foot, and hold the sword with the pommel raised over your head, and the left hand on the middle of the blade with the point directed at your opponent, and from here you thrust your point at your opponent's chest. If he tries to do the same to you, while you are standing with your left foot forward, holding the sword outstretched against the opponent with the right hand on the hilt and the left on the middle of the blade, then parry between your hands on the blade. If he parries in this manner you kick his left knee with your right foot. If he tries to do the same to you, then turn your sword blade in under his knee and lift, that way you will force him to let go of his sword as he falls backwards. </p>

If you are standing with your right foot forward, holding the sword with the right hand on the hilt and the pommel toward your opponent, and the point behind your left leg and the left hand on the middle of the blade, then step forward with your left foot and thrust him in the face with the point. If he tries to do this, you step forward with your right foot and lay the blade by his cross and hilt and move away his thrust thus, and then you put your pommel in under his left knee. If he does thus however, you let go of your sword and grab hold with your left hand on his right shoulder and push him away from you. Should he try to do this, you raise the hilt up forcefully, and he will fall backwards. </p>

From this position you thrust your opponent in the neck. If he should do this, and you are then standing with your right foot forward, holding the sword with the hilt in your right hand, with the pommel toward the opponent, and the left on the middle of the blade on your left side, then you step back with your right foot and parry between both your hands on the blade. Then as fast as you can, you step back again, and turn in a thrust with the point over his sword between both his arms. Then you pull to the left and place the pommel on his neck and pull to the right. If he tries to do the same, then let go of the blade with your left hand and grab hold of his right elbow, and grab hold of the hilt with your left, you strike him in the head as hard as you can. </p>

<p>In this fight you step forward with your right foot, and hold your sword with your right hand on the hilt on your right side, and the left on the middle of the blade, with the point toward the opponent. Then let go of the hilt with your right hand and join it with your left, and strike him in the head with cross and pommel. If he tries to do the same, while you are standing with your right foot forward, then lift up your sword against him and parry his attack between your hands. Then you throw away your sword, and stoop down into scale position, reach with your right hand into his left side and pull to you. If your opponent is trying to pull you this way, then reach under his left arm with your right hand and grab hold in his left armpit, and then you pull him over your forward foot, and that way you will throw him face forward. </p>

| <p>[60] '''How to pry open the opponent's visor with his own dagger'''</p>
 +
 
 +
<p>When you and your opponent are entering into combat, step with your right foot forward and hold your sword with the left hand on the hilt on your left side and the right on the middle of the blade with the point directed toward the opponent. Then, from this position you thrust your opponent in the groin. If he comes at you in the same manner, while you are standing with your left foot forward, then parry his thrust with your sword on the blade between your hands. After that you turn in your point from below, and press your lower part of your sword over his sword, and punch the pommel hard into the (his) left side. If he uses the same technique against you, then put the sword on the right arm, that way you will counter his strike. Then you let go of the blade with your right hand and put your sword around the back of his neck his left shoulder, and pull him to you, stand with your left foot on the opponent's right, and take his dagger out of the sheath. Then you stab the dagger into his visor, and in the same act of stabbing you may also throw him over. </p>

<p>This way you perform above mentioned fight: step forward with your left foot and hold your sword with the hilt in your right hand with the point towards the opponent, and the left on the middle of the blade on your left side. Then, step forward with your right foot and turn in the point of the sword into the opponent's face. If he does this, on the other hand, and you are standing with your left foot toward him, then parry his thrust with the front end of the sword to your right, step in with the right foot and punch him in the face with the pommel. But if he does the same, then put your left hand on your opponent's right elbow and counter his punch thus. Then you drop your sword and step in with your right foot, draw your dagger and thrust it into the opponent's right armpit. If he uses the same technique against you, then let go of the hilt with your right hand and grab his right hand, and push him away from you, that way you have defended yourself against his attack. Then you drop your sword as well, and draw the dagger with your left hand and thrust at his right armpit. If he comes at you with his dagger in this manner, then drop your dagger and reach around with both arms around his neck over his shoulder, and pull to you as you press down. If he tries to do the same, then quickly drop your dagger as well, and grab hold of the upper part of his left leg with your left hand and reach around in front of his waist, and if you pull to you firmly below and push away to your right side above, you will throw the opponent over your right leg. </p>

If you are standing with your right foot as well, and he comes at you in this manner, then place your left foot at your opponent's left, and parry his strike between both hands on your right side. Then you turn in your point into the opponent's visor. If your opponent does the same, then quickly take hold of your hilt with the left hand and parry the thrust between your hands on the blade. Then you step forward with the right foot and thrust the point into his neck, and this way you turn the sword twice and step away from your opponent. </p>

If he has dropped his sword and grabbed hold around your thighs, and have them in his left armpit, then reach around his neck with your right arm over his shoulder around his neck and if you then press down above with full force, and simultaneously lift up below, you will throw him face first. </p>

 +

<p>When stepping together you and your opponent, then step forward with your right foot and hold your sword with the right hand on the hilt on your right side, and the left on the middle of the blade with the point toward the enemy. From this position continue forward with your left foot and turn in the point in the opponent's visor. If the opponent should try the same against you, and you are standing with your left foot forward, holding the sword with the right on the hilt and the left on the middle of the blade, point toward enemy, then parry the thrust with the front end of your sword and thrust him in the chest with the point. If he does the same, then drop your sword and grab hold of his left hand along with the sword with your left hand, and clench hard. Then you pull your dagger with your right hand and stab him in the palm of his left hand, and that way you will open it. </p>

<p>Thus you behave in the following fight: step forward with your right foot and hold your sword with the right hand on the hilt, pommel turning to the ground, left hand on the middle of the blade resting on left thigh. From here you take another step forward with your left foot and turn in the point from below into your opponent's groin. However, if your opponent is trying the same on you, and you are standing with your left forward, hilt in your right hand, point toward the enemy, then parry his thrust with the front end of the sword. Then you take a step forward with your right foot, let go of the sword with your left hand, reach around his neck and grab hold of his chest and pull to you. If your opponent is holding you in the same manner, then drop your sword, and stoop down in to scales position, and grab hold of his left hand with your right, and pull to you as you grab hold of his left leg with your left hand, and if you rise up from this position you will throw your opponent over on your left side. </p>

Then you step forward with your left foot and thrust the pommel into the opponent's crotch from below. If your opponent does this to you, and you are standing with your right foot forward, with the right hand on the hilt resting on your right thigh, the left hand on the middle of the sword, and the point toward the enemy, then parry his thrust between your both hands to your right, and stab him in the neck. If he tries to do the same, you parry between your hands on the blade, and turn his thrust down to your left. Then you move the sword in behind his right knee and lift up hard, and you will force him off balance and he will fall. If you then press down with your left leg and thrust the cross in his visor, he will fall backwards. </p>

<p>In this device you stand with your right leg forward and hold the sword with the right hand on the hilt facing the enemy pointing downward, the left hand on the middle of the blade on your left side. From here you step forward with your left foot and move the point up front and thrust the opponent in the neck. If he tries to do the same against you, and you are standing with your left foot forward, right hand on the hilt and the left on the middle of the blade, with the point toward the enemy, you parry his thrust with the front end of the sword to your right, and turn the pommel into his visor. If he tries to do the same, you parry his attack to the right, let go of the blade with the left hand and grab his pommel and bend his sword onto his back. Then you kick him in the groin with the left foot, grab the blade with both hands and deliver a death blow to his head with cross and pommel, so that he falls to the ground half dead. </p>

Then you turn in the point over his right arm and into his visor. If he does the same, then lay your sword between your hands under his left armpit, and place your right foot inside his left. If you then lift up firmly, you will throw him over backwards, and he will have to drop his sword. When this is done, you quickly let go of our sword, and draw your dagger, and drive both your knees into his torso, and press his legs together, so that he cannot get up, and then you stab him in the neck. </p>

If you are standing with your left foot forward too, holding the sword with your right hand on the hilt toward the opponent, and the left hand on the middle of the blade, raised over your head, then parry his thrust on the blade between your hands and do a double thrust at his visor. If he attacks you in the same manner, then drop your sword, and grab his left elbow with your left hand and push him away, and you have averted his thrusts. Then, however, you grab hold of his waist with your right hand, and pull it away forcefully. That way you will throw the opponent on his face. When this is done, then knee him between his legs and press him down thus. Pull the dagger, pry open his visor and stab him in the neck. When you have thrown him over in this manner, then you take his sword and put it over his back, as is custom in a duel. </p>

<p>When you enter before your opponent, then step forward with your left foot and hold your sword with your right hand on the hilt over your head and the left on the middle of the blade with the point toward the enemy, and from here you step forward with your right foot and strike the opponent in the visor with the pommel.

Then you drop the sword and reach down with both hands around behind the enemy's both legs and pull to you firmly, so that he falls forward. Thereafter you place your legs over your opponent's legs near his groin, and press down hard, so that he cannot get up. Then you take his sword and insert it through his arms and over his back, as well as take the strap, and tie his hands together, which is custom in duels. </p>

<p>Thus you perform this device: step forward with your right leg, and hold the hilt of your sword in your right hand and the left on the middle of the blade before your face, pommel pointing down, point up. Then you take another step forward with your left leg and make a double thrust with your point at your opponent's visor. If he tries to attack you in the same manner, and you are standing with your right foot forward, holding your sword with your right on the hilt and the left on the middle of the blade, point toward the enemy, then lift the sword up high and parry his thrust on the blade between your hands, to your left side. Then quickly, drop your sword and put your left hand under his left armpit and shove him away from you, place your right foot outside behind his left grab hold with your right hand in his right leg and pull hard, and he will fall face first. Then you pull the dagger and stab it through the back of his neck. After that you take his sword and place it under his arms and over his back, and tie his arms together with the strap, which is custom and ancient law for the victor in ordeal by combat. </p>

And hereby, to all those who will receive or acquire artbooks like these, of whatever honor, worthiness or standing, friend or foe, it is my humblestly humble, diligent and friendly wish that they examine these. (I hope) You will graciously gracious find my within these (books) invested effort, diligence and work, kindly likable and enjoyable.

Paulus Hector Mair (Paul Hektor Mayr, Meyer; 1517 – 1579) was a 16th century German aristocrat, civil servant, and fencer. He was born in 1517 to a wealthy and influential Augsburg patrician family. In his youth, he likely received training in fencing and grappling from the masters of Augsburg fencing guild, and early on developed a deep fascination with fencing treatises. He began his civil service as a secretary to the Augsburg City Council; by 1541, Mair was the city treasurer, and in 1545 he also took on the office of Master of Rations.

Mair's martial background is unknown, but as a citizen of a free city he would have had military obligations whenever the city went to war, and as a member of a patrician family he likely served in the cavalry. He was also an avid collector of fencing treatises and other literature on military history. Like his contemporary Joachim Meyer, Mair believed that the Medieval martial arts were being forgotten, and he saw this as a tragedy, idealizing the arts of fencing as a civilizing and character-building influence on men. Where Meyer sought to update the traditional fencing systems and apply them to contemporary weapons of war and defense, Mair was more interested in preserving historical teachings intact. Thus, some time in the latter part of the 1540s he commissioned what would become the most extensive compendium of German fencing treatises ever made, a massive two-volume manuscript compiling virtually every fencing treatise he could access. He retained the workshop of Jörg Breu the Younger to create the illustrations for the text,[1] and hired two Augsburg fencers to pose for the illustrations.[2] This project was extraordinarily expensive and took at least four years to complete. Ultimately, three copies of this compendium were produced, each more extensive than the last; the first (MSS Dresden C.93/C.94) was written in Early New High German, the second and most artistically ambitious (Cod.icon. 393) in New Latin, and the rougher third version (Cod. 10825/10826) incorporated both languages.

Beginning in the 1540s, Mair began purchasing older fencing manuscripts, some from fellow collector Lienhart Sollinger (a Freifechter who lived in Augsburg for many years) and others from auctions. Perhaps most significant of all of his acquisitions was the partially-completed treatise of Antonius Rast, a Master of the Long Sword and three-time Captain of the Marxbrüder fencing guild. The venerable master left it incomplete when he died in 1549, and in 1553 Mair produced a complete fencing manual (Reichsstadt "Schätze" Nr. 82) based on his notes. Ultimately, he owned over a dozen fencing manuscripts over the course of his life, including the following:

He also used several printed books as source material for his compendia, and presumably owned copies, including Der Allten Fechter gründtliche Kunst (printed by Christian Egenolff), Opera Nova by Achille Marozzo, and Ringer Kunst by Fabian von Auerswald.

Mair not only spent incredible sums of money on his fencing interests, but generally lead a lavish lifestyle and maintained his political influence with expensive parties and other entertainments for the burghers and patricians of Augsburg. This habit of living far beyond his means for decades exhausted his family's wealth, eventually leading him to sell the Latin version of his fencing manuscript (netting the princely sum of 800 florins) and finally to begin embezzling money from the Augsburg city coffers. This embezzlement was not discovered for many years (or perhaps was overlooked due to the political favor his parties garnered), until finally a disgruntled assistant reported him to the Augsburg City Council in 1579 and provoked an audit of his books. Mair was arrested, tried, and hanged as a thief at the age of 62. After Mair's death, his effects (including his library) were sold at auction to recoup some of the funds he had embezzled.

Whether viewed as an unwise scholar who paid the ultimate price for his art or an ignoble thief who violated his city's trust, Mair remains one of the most influential figures in the history of Kunst des Fechtens. By completing the fencing manual of Antonius Rast, Mair gave us valuable insight into the Augsburg fencing tradition; his own works are impressive on both an artistic and practical level, and his extensive commentary on the fencing illustrations in his collection serves to make potentially useful training aids out of what would otherwise be mere curiosities. Finally, in purchasing so many important fencing treatises he succeeded in preserving them for future generations; they were purchased by the fabulously wealthy Fugger family after his death and eventually passed to the Augsburg University Library, where they remain to this day.

Treatise

Much of Mair's content represents his revision and expansion of the older treatises listed above, including adding descriptive content to uncaptioned illustrations. Where available, these illustrations are displayed in the left-most column, labeled "Source Illustrations", for comparison purposes. Mair's own illustrations appear in the second column, alongside the translation. Wherever possible, the version from the manuscript or book that Mair owned is displayed; in some cases, however, the only known copy is in a book that Mair never had access to as far as we know (suggesting the existence of lost manuscripts).

The Dresden version contains the fewest pieces and its artwork is most reminiscent of Breu's style, suggesting that it was the first copy produced. The Munich adds additional plays and sections on top of the Dresden's contents and the Vienna likewise augments the Munich, so it appears that this was order of creation; conversely, the Dresden has no unique content, and the only unique plays in the Munich are in the section on jousting. To give a visual sense of this evolution of the work, the Dresden illustrations are used wherever possible; the Munich illustrations appear only for those plays that are missing from the Dresden, and the Vienna for those that are likewise missing from the Munich.

Additional Resources

The following is a list of publications containing scans, transcriptions, and translations relevant to this article, as well as published peer-reviewed research.

References

  1. Breu is not listed in the Augsburg tax records in 1542-3; given Mair's youth, he most likely hired Breu between his return in 1544 and his death in 1547.

  5. The amphitheatre of Fidenae (the modern Borgata Fidena, a suburb of Rome), endowed by a freed slave named Atilius, collapsed in 27 BC under the weight of a large crowd of spectators, apparently due to faults in construction. According to the (likely exaggerated) account by Tacitus (Annales, 4.63), a total of 50,000 people died in the collapse.

  12. This may be in reference to 2 Timothy 2:4, rendered by Luther (1522) as: Niemant streyttet vnnd flicht sich ynn der narung geschefft, auff das er gefalle dem, der yhn zum streytter auffgenomen hat "None who would fight does meddle in the business of sustenance, so that he may please him who employed him as a fighter". Now Luthers narung "sustenance, nutrition, food" offers itself to an interpretation of "gluttony; carnal pleasure", but it translates pragmateiai biou, meaning "the pragmatics of life", i.e. "everyday business". c.f. Tyndale (1526), who has "No man that warreth, entangleth himself with worldly business, and that because he would please him that hath chosen him to be a soldier"; Dresden has "temporal" (zeitlich) rather than "transient" (zergenglich).
  13. This is a reference to Pliny, Nat. Hist. 30.32: "When a freedman of Nero was giving a gladiatorial show at Antium, the public porticoes were covered with paintings, so we are told, containing life-like portraits of all the gladiators and assistants. This portraiture of gladiators has been the highest interest in art for many centuries now, but it was Gaius Terentius who began the practice of having pictures made of gladiatorial shows and exhibited in public; in honour of his grandfather who had adopted him he provided thirty pairs of Gladiators in the Forum for three consecutive days, and exhibited a picture of the matches in the Grove of Diana."
  14. Anacharsis the Scythian, according to Herodotus (4.46, 76 f.) brother of the Scythian king Saulinos; attributed to him are inventions such as the anchor, bellows and pottery wheel. He was slain by his brother after he returned from a journey to Greece and began to advocate Greek culture to his countrymen. He is sometimes counted as one of the Seven Sages of Athens. Among a number of letters attributed to him is one addressed to the Lydian king Croesus.
  15. Johannes Aventinus (Johann Georg Turmair von Abensberg, 1477–1534), historiographer at the Bavarian court.
  16. Gampar is the seventh king in the (fictional) genealogy of the kings of the ancient Germans going back to the Great Flood in Aventinus' Annales (1522). Aventinus gives Gampar's regnal years as 1711–1667 BC.
  17. Eusebius of Caesarea (ca. 275 – 339)
  18. Pittakos of Mitylene (Lesbos), 7th c. BC, one of the Seven Sages. He led the Mitylenians against the Athenians and arranged a duel with Phrynon, an Olympic champion in pankration, by which to settle the war. He defeated Phrynon by trapping him in a net. The greater Ajay met Hector in place of Achilles (Iliad 7.181), the fight lasted the entire day and Hector was lightly wounded, and the heroes then parted with mutual respect. Porus, "king of India" was defeated by Alexander in the battle of Hydaspes in 326 BC. I have so far failed to identify Pyrechmen and Degmemnus.
  19. Mair gives more detail on this judicial duel of 1409 in the second volume. According to this account, the combatants were Wilhelm Marschalk von Dornsberg and Theodor Haschenacker, and the shields of the combatants were preserved in St. Leonard's church outside of the city until the tower of this church was demolished on 3 November 1542.
  20. Regum et imperatorum apophthegmata ("Sayings of kings and emperors") in Plutarch's Moralia.
  21. Vienna: mit schaden "with damage", Dresden: mit schanden "with dishonour/ignominy".
  22. Tacitus' Germania was unknown during the medieval period; rediscovered in 1455, the text was popularized in German humanism only from c. 1500; it is summarized by Aventinus, who is Mair's source, in his Annales ducum Boiariae (1522), the German-language edition of which (Bairische Chronik 1533) was just about ten years old when Mair wrote his text.
  23. pafese read for gafese (i.e. pavese, the infantry shields comparable to the Roman rectangular shields of the early imperial period)
  24. Tuisto is the primeval god of the Germanic peoples according to Tacitus. Aventinus euhemerizes him as the grandson of Noah and first king of the Germans (r. 2214–2038 BC). Herman here is not the historical Arminius, but the fifth king in Aventinus' list (r. 1820–1757 BC), founder of the Herminones or continental Germans.
  25. Mair's source is the Turnierbuch of Georg Rüxner (c. 1490), edited in Augsburg by Marx Würsung (1518). Rüxner describes a series of 36 "imperial tournaments" (Reichs-Turniere) between 938 and 1487, beginning with a legendary tournament held in Magdeburg during what Rüxner makes out as the reign of Henry I the Fowler.
  26. the successive Habsburg emperors Frederick III, Maximilian I and Charles V, spanning the period since the supposed disestablishment of the knightly tournament and the establishment of the Brotherhood of St. Mark or Marxbrüder. The Freifechter denounced by Mair seem to represent an early form of the guild later known as Federfechter (unless the term still has a generic meaning, frei as in "unincorporated").
  27. Schlaraffenland is the German adaptation of Coquaigne (Cucania), first encountered in the 15th century (as schlauraff, schluderaffe) and popularised by Hans Sachs (1558). The name seems to originate as an (unattested) medieval slur meaning "lazy idler", schlu(de)r-affe, lit. "drooping ape".
  28. Ligatura non sequitur.
  29. Non sequitur.
  30. Ninus: the legendary founder of Nineveh according to Ctesias (Persica, ca. 400 BC); Ctesias' Sardanapolus corresponds to Ashurbanipal (669 - 627 BC); Ctesias is a rather unreliable source by comparison with Herodotus and the Ptolemaic king list; but in any case knowledge on the Assyrian empire was very limited before the decipherment of cuneiform in the 1850s.
  31. Gideon: Judges 7:4-7; David: Psalm 144:1: "Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight" (KJV).
  32. Mair writes “Kunstfechtbuch”; “art of fencing” would be “Fechtkunst”. It is not clear whether this is just a question of usage or a deliberate difference.
  33. Welsch” refers to neighbouring peoples speaking a romance language, so it could mean French, Italian, Spanish or Romansh.
  34. German rappier, Latin ensibus Hispanis
  35. The Cod. icon. 393 text translates to “Fencing on foot, in which we use round shields and Spanish swords, in the fashion of the Italians, is 56 plays”).
  36. Mair here uses “die Wag” (pl. “Wagen”), which I am assuming refers to “balance scale” (die Waage, pl. Waagen), and by extension the structure providing for the balance. It could also be derived from “wagen” (to dare), but the derivation is not convincing. A derivation from “der Wagen” (cart, carriage) is linguistically not supported. The other two MS do not contain this passage, so a comparison is not possible.

  116. 116.0 116.1 Choosing to read this as equivalent to modern German einengen. “Trapped” as a translation for eineinden follows from this choice. Buyer beware.

  131. While the text is identical, the illustration in the Dresden version is different from that of Munich and Vienna versions.
  132. The text is a bit ambiguous on how this is done, but judging from the picture it seems as the you are already having the pommel on your right side and the strike to the face and the parry is done in the same motion.
  133. In both Latin and German, foot and leg can be the same word.
  134. Tong hold – see wrestling chapter.
  135. One knee on the ground.
  136. "With" is crossed over and replaced with a smaller text "against" in the Latin text. It is most probably "against", as the text reads in the German text.
