-Alber ("Fool's Guard") is one of the [[Vier Leger]] ("four guards") taught by [[Johannes Liechtenauer]] and promoted by his students. It is called the Half Iron Door by [[Fiore de'i Liberi]].
-Alber is formed by placing one foot forward, and the point of the [[longsword]] towards the ground between one's self and one's opponent with the [[short edge]] upward. It is used to encourage opponents to attack so that their blows may be [[Vier Versetzen|displaced]].
