So if you will grab him or throw him with certainty, stay with your short weapon and not the long, so you have the advantage to grapple his body. This breaks his strength.</p>

| <p>[10] Item: The second grapple is to cast a bar before one or both legs. It is on both sides are good and safe. Then see which leg he has set before him and sit the same steps to lock it. Is it the right leg, closer up to him and sit him with your right leg between his, so that your right knee is just to his right.</p>

| <p>[11] Above all, to unbalance him you must first take his right wrist with your left hand and with your right hand on the outside of the elbow toward you. With your right hand or your right arm you should reach in your hand from below, so that your arm is up. Draw up his arm to you and press down with your bar away from you.

| <p>[12] Item: The third grapple is when you artfully block the front leg. Thus notice the leg that is closest to you. If you want to throw him in battle and come to your advantage, drive with your two legs around his leg, with your knee caps to his kneecap. Push both knees firmly together so that he and his knee can not escape from you. Push him up by his helmet and tear with one or both hands. If he does post back with jerking or breaks down and goes back, follow him and attack him on the other side.</p>

<p>Glosa: If you have a sword and he had a spear with which he stands out to you to attack you from a distance, where it strikes a long free thrust to your body, it should be noted that when it stings, you should calmly and quickly jump away from the spear thrust. Seize him and cast him with the aforementioned wrestling before he strikes again. But if you don’t have a weapon in your hands, deflect with empty hands as described in the Roßfechten. If you have a sword, strike from the left side of his spear. Once you meet his spear and he does not or cannot twitch, when he thrusts after you and you hit well and have jumped or moved to him, then catch or grab him with circumspection, and throw. If he will draw a sword or dagger and let the spear fall, watch for the drawing of the dagger, messer or sword before he draws. Do not let him, but take the front of his hand or his body and send him down, as described above in the wrestling. When you get close to him, he can do you no harm with his sword, neither with setting the point nor with the pommel, because both of you are too close together, so that it can not happen.</p>

<p>Glosa: This deals with the openings which you should look for in fencing or if you have thrown him and overpowered him.

| <p>[16] Note: When you come with your weapon to his opening under the gauntlet to keep it open and you have overcome your opponent on the side and want or need to wrestle, then look on the other side. Seize his leg with both your hands. Go on like this with one hand in front between his two legs and supporting it with your other hand behind up to his buttocks. Locking your two hands together, lift and throw him immediately to his side. Do not bend down with your head in the grab, but direct it up and to the front, and sink with the buttocks down and the head back if necessary. Then you can feel well if he is long or short. Or throw him with the aforementioned wrestling. Search with good sense for your advantage in the same way to any opening, be it one or the other. Or throw him with the aforementioned wrestling.

<p>Glosa: If you then come from the spears and both have a sword, strengthen your sword thus, that you take up your sword hilt with your right hand and your left hand is forward, near the center of the sword blade. Go to the opponent and try to reach him with blows and thrusts. Should he strike his pommel to you, deflext the blow with the half-sword. Set your point back to the opening: the visor, the chest, and down into his front hand. And remember the thrust when you move your sword, and deflect correctly and high enough and with equal strength, so he does not hit you and you can set your thrust to his opening again after his thrust. Or watch him carefully if he acts as if he would strike with the pommel, but does not hit and wrestles or thrusts to the hands.</p>

Seize him and cast him with the aforementioned wrestling before he strikes again. But if you don’t have a weapon in your hands, deflect with empty hands as described in the Roßfechten. If you have a sword, strike from the left side of his spear. Once you meet his spear and he does not or cannot twitch, when he thrusts after you and you hit well and have jumped or moved to him, then catch or grab him with circumspection, and throw. If he will draw a sword or dagger and let the spear fall, watch for the drawing of the dagger, messer or sword before he draws. Do not let him, but take the front of his hand or his body and send him down, as described above in the wrestling. When you get close to him, he can do you no harm with his sword, neither with setting the point nor with the pommel, because both of you are too close together, so that it can not happen.

<p>Glosa: If you want to strike your opponent to the head and helmet and he wants you set aside the strike strongly with the half-sword with both hands, threatening him with strikes above and bring your<ref>Literally “his”.</ref> sword into thrusting position. Thrust from above down between his arms near the hands at the wrist and press down with your sword. Do this is also from below up. Barrel then with your sword skillfully to strike again. Strike a powerful and certain blow without fear to your opponent with a striking point—this is the pommel of the sword. If he sets that aside with the half-sword and jump away, [set upon] him after the block with your point again to his eyes. If he doesn’t protect his leading foot with a step backwards, strike his of leg at the knee with the pommel. Do not commit to the strike so much that you come out of equilibrium, otherwise he will overcome you at the back and throw you down backwards or other such things as he has learned. You must know that you should only make one murder strike, unless you can hit him so that he falls down or take off an arm or otherwise disable a limb. Strike or thrust in this case as often you can bring it about. But this is not always possible, so wind your sword back again under your armpit and set your point upon him after each shot to his face, if he is too masterful for you.</p>

Translations

Peter von Danzig was a 15th century German fencing master. Apart from the fact that he was apparently born in Danzig (Gdańsk), a coastal city in modern-day Poland, and lived in the city of Ingolstadt in Bavaria, all that can be determined about Danzig's life is that his renown as a master was sufficient for Paulus Kal to include him in the roll of members of the Fellowship of Liechtenauer in ca. 1470.[1] Danzig is often erroneously credited as the author of the 1452 manuscript Starhemberg Fechtbuch, a compilation of several treatises by different masters of the Liechtenauer tradition. In actuality, Danzig only authored the final section of that book, a gloss of Johannes Liechtenauer's Recital on dueling with the short sword.
