Paulus Hector Mair (1517 – 1579) was a 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.

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 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 David 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 the Younger to create the art for the text, and according to Hils Mair also hired two fencing masters to pose for the illustrations.^{[citation needed]} 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 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.

[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^[1] 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,^[2] 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.	[235v] Page:MS Dresd.C.93 235v.png 235v.

[3] A cut against a way of pulling by the opponent 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.	[236r] Page:MS Dresd.C.93 236r.png 236r.

[4] A cut from above and one from below 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.	[236v] Page:MS Dresd.C.93 236v.png 236v.	[204v] Page:Cod.10825 204v.jpg	[204v] Page:Cod.10825 204v.jpg	[227v] Page:Cod.icon. 393 I 227v.jpg 227v.
[5] Two cuts that hit the arms 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^[3] 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,^[4] 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.	[237r] Page:MS Dresd.C.93 237r.png 237r.	[205r] Page:Cod.10825 205r.jpg	[205r] Page:Cod.10825 205r.jpg	[228r] Page:Cod.icon. 393 I 228r.jpg 228r.
[6] The double cut against the double parry In the mutual battle of this fight, when you yourself reach the opponent, then put your left foot in front, and hold the sickle high with the right hand opposite the opponent, and cut his neck from the right side. But if he in the same manner comes at you from above, [while you are] standing with the right [foot] in front, then hold the sickle against the opponent in the manner of the low cut, and block his right arm with the left hand, and after you have lifted this high, you will cut his right arm next to the armpit with the sickle. But if he attempts the same, after with the left hand you have grabbed the opponent’s right and have lifted this, you will displace his cut in this manner. But if you from there immediately retract the right, you will try to cut the right foot of the opponent [which is] placed in front. But if the opponent in the same manner uses this, then grab his right hand with your left, and in this manner displace his attempt, and if you then pull back the right hand immediately, you will wound the neck of the opponent with a cut, and pull back from him again.	[237v] Page:MS Dresd.C.93 237v.png 237v.	[205v] Page:Cod.10825 205v.jpg	[205v] Page:Cod.10825 205v.jpg	[228v] Page:Cod.icon. 393 I 228v.jpg 228v.
[7] A high and a low cut and their parry If you both approach each other, then put your left leg in front, and hold the sickle high with the right hand against the opponent, and from there cut his head. But if he in turn attempts to injure you from above, then again put your left leg in front, and hold your sickle against the opponent in the cut from below, then you will hinder his right arm from the front with the left hand, and if you then lift this, you can displace the high attack of the opponent. And from there you can injure the knee of the opponent’s left leg, [which is] placed in front. But if the opponent in the same manner hinders you from below, you can hinder his right elbow from the inside with the opposed left hand, and if you then displace him strongly, you will displace his cut, and if you then quickly again pull the right hand towards yourself, and attack the right arm of the opponent by cutting, you will from there pull back from him again.	[238r] Page:MS Dresd.C.93 238r.png 238r.	[206r] Ein oberer vnd ein vnderer Schnit mit Iren abnemen.

[40v] [No text]
[8] Two cuts against their parry 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.

[9] A different manner for the above form To the aforementioned manner in a mutual fight you can adapt as follows: put the right foot in front, and hold the sickle with the right hand high from the right side, and connect the left [hand] with the left hip, and follow the placing of your body to the left, then cut with the sickle in the left side of the neck of the opponent. But if the opponent has come at you in the same manner, then place the right foot in front against him, and hold the sickle high with the right hand, and connect the left [hand] with the left hip, then direct the left hand from below upwards and you will block his right arm next to his shoulder, and if from there you pull him towards you as hard as you can, you will displace his cut and in the meantime cut the head of the opponent. 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.	[239r] Page:MS Dresd.C.93 239r.png 239r.

Item schick dich also in dises stuck, Wann Ir zusamen gond, Stand mit deinem rechten fuß vor, vnnd halt dein Sichel in deiner rechten hand auff deiner rechten seiten in der ho°ch, dein lingge auf deiner linggen hüff, In dem volg mit deinem lingken schenckel hinach, vnd far Im mit deiner Sichel vmb seinen hals hinumb auff seine~ lingke seitten, Schneidt er dir also oben zu, vnd du auch mit deinem rechten fuß gegen Im steest, vnd heltst dein Sichel in deiner rechten hand in der ho°ch, dein lingge auf deiner linggen hüff, So far Im mit deiner linggen hand von vnden Innwendig in seinen rechte~ arm wol hinden bey der achsel, zeuch In damit starck zu dir, so windst du dich aus seinem schnit, In dem schneid Im mitt deiner Sichel nach seinem haubt, Schneidt er dir auch also oben zu, So fall Im mit deiner linggen hand auff seinen rechte~ arm, truck den damit wol auff dein lingge seitten, so ist Im sein schnitt gebroche~, In des schneid Im behend nach seinem rechten furgesetzte~ schenckel, vnd trit von Im zurugk,	[207r]	[230r] Page:Cod.icon. 393 I 230r.jpg 230r.
[10] A cut from above against a way to parry To this technique you will adapt in the following way: put the left foot in front and hold the sickle opposite the opponent with the right hand, and you will cut his neck from the right side. 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.

[12] A cut from above against one that attacks the side 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.

[13] Two cuts with their applied parry 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.	[241r] Page:MS Dresd.C.93 241r.png 241r.

[14] Two cuts from below In this fight, if you stand straight with both legs in the same place, and with the right hand hold the sickle at the right side, but at the same time grab it with you’re the left [hand] and place the right against the right hip, and then place the left foot in front next to the left foot of the opponent, on the outside, and if you cut to his left foot, [which is] placed in front, you will in this manner pull the opponent towards you. But if he uses this against you, you will block the left shoulder of the opponent with the left hand, and if you pull the opponent down towards your left side, you will deflect his cut. But if meanwhile you throw the sickle between his legs in his genitals, and from there you pull him towards you, it will be possible in that manner to throw the opponent over the left leg, [which is] placed in front.

[15] Two middle cuts by which a way is formed to throw the enemy 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.

[16] A way to throw the enemy on the ground by lifting him 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. But if he in the same manner uses the middle cut against you, you will again place the right foot in front, and with the middle of the sickle deflect his attack to your right side. But if you are in the same manner deflected by the opponent, you will place your left hand against his right elbow from the outside, and from there put him away towards your right side. But if he in his turn puts you away, you will direct your sickle around his loin from his right side in the manner of a cut. Further, if the opponent attempts it in the same manner against you, you will throw away your sickle, and take hold of the side of the opponent’s head with the right hand, with the left hand on the left side, and in this manner you will turn the face of the opponent upwards towards the sun and at the same time you can throw him towards your left side.

Draft Translation by Per Magnus Haaland	Dresden Version II (1550s) by Pierre-Henry Bas	Munich Version I (1550s) by Per Magnus Haaland
Here follows the traverse wrestling techniques	[126v] Hernachuolgt wie Man ausz der. zwirch Rinngen soll.	[301r] Nunc sequuntur habitus quibus docetur transversim colluctari.
The first When you wrestle with someone with outstreched arms, break free with one arm and reach out towards his leg as if you wanted to pull it towards you, and as he then sees it and pulls back his foot, then reach after his leg with the arm extended, and step with your foot behind him in the traverse, that way you will throw him on his back. This can be done on both sides.	Die erst zwirch Item Rinngstu Mit ainem. Im lanngen arm. so prich Im ausz mit ainner hannd. vnnd far Im nach dem fuosz als du Inn auf wollest zucken. so zeucht er den fuosz hinndersich vnnd fleucht damit so gee dem fuosz nach. mit dem arm. vnnd trit mit deinnem fuosz hinnder In Inn die zwirch so wirfstu In auf den Rucken. das geet zu baiden seitten.	Si cum aliquo colluctaris brachio porrecto, alteram manum removeas, eaque correpto ipsius hostis pede quasi tollere eundem velis simulato, verum si id observarit, pedem retrahet, tu igitur brachio porrecto pedem sequitor, atque pede tuo retro ipsum transgreditor transversim et ea ratione supinum hostem prosternes. Is habitus utrinque formari potest.
The second traverse Execute the second traverse thus: if you wrestle your opponent with outstreched arms, then quickly break loose with your right, and reach with it under his left arm. Then, step behind his right foot with your right foot, and throw him on his back. This can be done on both sides.	Die annder zwirch Item die annder Zwirch treyb allso. wann du mit ainnem Rinngst Inn lanngen armen. so prich Im ausz [127r] mit dem rechten arm. vnnd far Im Durch sein linncke Vchsen. vnnd far mit deinnem rechten fuosz hinnder seinn fuosz. so wirfstu In auf den rucken. das geet zu baiden seitten.	Secundus antecedentis habitus Eum habitum hoc modo exerceto: si cum adversario ex porrectis brachiis colluctaris, dextram confestim evellas, eamque per axillam sinistram transmittas. Inde dextrum pedem pedi ipsius dextro postponas, atque ea ratione supinum hostem sternes. Etiam is habitus utrinque formari potest.
The third traverse Is done thus: when you wrestle with your opponent with outstreched arms (or long arms as we call it), then break free with your right arm and lean forward upon him holding his arms with both your hands, and turn away from him so that you get your opponent on your back, and throw him on his back. This can be done from both sides.	Die dritt zwirch Item die drit Zwirch treib also wann du mit lanngen armen rinngst mit ainnem. so prich Im ausz mit dem rechten arm. vnnd hallt dich fast fursich vnnd halt seinnen arm mit baiden hennden. vnnd reid dich vonn Im. so wirffstu In auf den rucken. das geet zu baiden seitten.	[301v] Tercius habitus ex transverso Id hoc modo usurpato: cum colluctaris cum adversario porrectis vel longus(ut nos vocamus) brachiis, dextrum brachium exeras, pronumque te exhibeas, eius brachium alterum utraque manu contineas. Inde si te ab hoste converteris, in dorsum tuum hostem assumis. Is itidem habitus ex utroque latere procedit.
The fourth traverse The fourth is executed thus: when you wrestle with your opponent with extended arms, then break free with your right arm and pull him around and towards you a little, then step with your right foot behind his right, then put your right elbow under his right arm, you may throw him on his back. This can be done from both sides.	Die viert zwirch Item die viert Zwirch treib also wann du mit ainnem Rinngst zu lanngen armen. so prich Im auf mit dem [127v] Rechten Arm vnnd gee. ain Weil mit Im vmb. vnnd gehlinng so sprinng mit deinnem rechten fuosz hinnder seinnen rechten. vnnd mit dem rechten Elenpogen vnnder sein Rechten Vchsen. so wirfstu In. auf den rucken. das geet zu baiden seitten.	Quartus habitus Eam formam hac ratione exerceto: si cum hoste extentis brachiis luctaris, dextrum rursus liberato brachium, eumque paululum pro tuo arbitratu tractes, sed subito pedem dextrum resiliendo pedi ipsius dextro postponito. Tum si dextrum cubitum dextrae hostis axillae supposueris supinum prosternes. Hoc itidem utrinque formatur.
The fifth traverse Is executed thus: break loose with your right arm and turn around with him a little, and then quickly pull him towards you, and lift your right arm as high as you can, and reach over his right arm around his back adn step behind him with your right foot and sweep him with the knee, then you will throw him on his back.	Das funnfft Zwirch Item die Funnfft Zwirch treib allso prich Im ausz mit deinnem Rechten arm. vnnd ger ain weil mit Im vmb vnnd gehlinng. so zuckh In an dich vnnd gee hoch ^auf mit deinnem Rechten arm oben vber seinn rechten arm. vmb seinnen rucken. vnnd trit mit dem Rechten fuosz hinnder In. vnnd tauch In mit dem knie. so wirfstu In auf den rucken.	Quintus Brachium dextrum rursus evellas, paulisperque adversarium tractes, verum de repente eum adtrahito atque quantum poteris altissime dextrum brachium eleves. Idem superiniicias hostis dextro circum dorsum ipsius. Si inde ei postposueris dextrum pedem atque genu ipsum perpuleris resupinum hostem deiicies.
The sixth traverse Is done thus: free your right arm and go around him a little, and push him away hard.

Notta Item schlecht dir ainner zu. so fach den Schlag auf dein ewichen hannd vnd truckh In fast zurukh. vnnd greyff mit deinner linncken hannd vnnden vmb seinen Rechten Arm vnd tritt mit deinem rechten fuosz vnder sein rechten. so wirfstu In auf den rucken. vnnd wirfft Im den arm ab.	Aliud Si adversarius verberare conetur, manu inversa vim hostilem [307v] excipito, retorsumque totis viribus urgeas. Inde manu sinistra inferne brachium ipsius dextrum amplectitor, atque si dextrum pedem ipsius itidem dextro subposueris, supinum prosternas, simul simul etiam brachium ipsius disrumpitur.
Grabbing the hair When someone has grabbed hold of your hair, then grab with your left hand over both of his hands onto the wrist of his right hand and with your right hand underneath on his elbow. Then, if you twist his arm upward, you will get free of him and break his arm.	[135r] Beim har zufassen. Item fast dich ainner Bey dem har. so greiff Im mit deinner linncken hand vber seinne baid hend. In sein rechten hannd Inn das glaich vnd mit dem rechten vnnden Inn den Elennpogen. vnnd winnd Im den arm Inn die hoch auf. so wirfstu ledig vnnd prichst Im den arm ab.	Ratio capillos corripiendi, et eius dem habitus destructio Cum hostis capillos tuos adprehenderit, tum manum sinistram utrique manu superiniicias in iuncturam dextrae manus, dextrum vero inferne cubito ipsius iniicias. Inde si sursum hostile brachium torseris teipsum liberabis, atque insimul brachium illi disrumpes.
Another When both of you have grabbed each other by the hair, then grab hold of him as before, and twist his left hand on your right arm, and press down hard, and then hit him in the neck with your left hand.	Notta Item wann du mit ainem Faffest. so fasz In als vor. vnnd wind Im sein linncke hannd auf dein rechten arm. vnnd truckh In fast zu der Erden. vnnd schlag In mit der linncken hannd auf den hals.	Aliud Cum mutuo capillos corripuistis, tum pari ratione ut supra praedictum est hostem corripito, et manum ipsius sinistram in brachium dextrum tuum retrorqueas. Inde pro viribus deorsum supprimas, atque manu sinistra collum ipsius verberes.
A throw When someone has taken hold of you in the middle and wants to throw you on your back by headbutting you, then as quickly as you can, take hold of both his shoulders, so that you again can grab him by the collar. Then sweep his leg with your foot, and he will fall over.	Einn abwerffen Hatt dich ainner Inn der mitte gefast vnnd vermaint dich mit dem kopff an rucken zu stossen. so er [135v] wisch In Indes mit seinnen baiden Achslen wder Wie du In daselbst mit dem goller fassen kanst. schlag ain pain fur. so schwingstu In daruber. das Erfallen muosz.

Inde si ipsi pedem anteposueris, per eundem adversarium praecipites.
A counter to above mentioned technique If someone has grabbed you the same way, then let go of his waist, and grab him behind the knees, and lift him up, that way you can either as you wish, throw him on his back, over your head, or run away with him.	Bruch Fast er dich allso zum Schwimg. so lasz vonn seinner waiche. vnnd greyff Im Inn die Kniepug. heb Ibersich. so fellst In an den rucken. oder wirfst In vber dein kopff. oder laufft mit Im daruon.

Si ea ratione levaris, supinus hostis concidere, vel per caput tuum praecipites, aut si mavis asportes ipsum.
A wrestling throw Grab him by the left hand with your right, and lift it well, go through with your head, and grab with your left hand in his right knee. Then lift him by the leg on your shoulders, and you will throw him over your back face first.	Ein werffen ausz Dem Rinngen Item begreyff sein Linncke hand mit deinner rechten. heb Im seinnen arm wol vbersich. gee mit dem haupt durch greiff mit der Linncken hannd.

Another Grab hold with your left hand onto his right and twist it away from you on your left side, step with your right foot behind his right and grab with your right hand up front on his neck, and throw him over your right hip.	[136r] Einn annders Item greyff Im mit Deinner Lincke hannd Inn sein rechte. vnnd reyb sy von dir Inn die Linncken seitten. vnnd schreit mit deinnem rechten fuosz hinder seinnen Rechten. greiff mit deinner Rechten vornen vmb seinnen hals. vnd wirff In fur dich vber die hüff des rechten pains	[308v] Alia effigies Manu sinistra hostis dextram adprehendito, atque abs te in latus sinistrum retorqueto. Post dextrum pedem ipsius item dextro postponas, dextram manum eius collo anterius adiicias, atque adversarium per femur pedis dextri praecipites.
Note If your opponent has is arms held high when advancing onto you, then run through him with the head under his right arm on his right side. Step in front of his right foot and grab around his waist from behind with your right arm. Lower yourself a little, lift him up on your right hip and throw him behind you.	Notta Item gat er hoch gegen dir Inn dem Rinngen mit aufgereckten armen. so lauf Im durch mit dem haupt. vnnder seinnen rechten arm. seinner rechten seitten. schreit vornen fur seinnen rechten fuosz. vnnd far Im mit deinnem Rechten arm vnnder seinnem rechten durch vnnd hinden vmb seinner leyb. senckh dich ain wenig nider vnnd heb In auf dein Rechte hüff. vnnd wirff In hinder dich	Notabile Si sublatis brachiis adversarius contra te procedit, tum sub brachio ipsius dextro lateris dextri transmittas caput tuum, ipsius pedem dextrum praecedas, atque dextrum brachium sub brachio ipsius itidem dextro transmittas ilia circundando. Post si te nonnihil demiseris in dextrum femur eum assumas, atque reiicias.
What to do with your opponent once you have thrown him When you have thrown your opponent to the ground, then knee him in the groin and hold both of his arms or his throat and press down, that way you may keep him down.	[136v] So ainner Gefallen Ist Enntlich so du ainnen geworffen. vnnd zu fal pracht. so knie Im zwische baide pain auf seinne gemecht. fasz Im baid hennd oder die gurgel. truckh fast allenthalben zu der Erden. so behelst du In.

Counter If you have been thrown to the ground by your opponent, then make sure above all things that your hands are not caught. Quickly, with one hand grab onto his face with the thumb under his chin and the rest of the fingers in his eyes, and press them away as hard as you can, and with the other hand hit him in the bladder. Extend the one leg that is the freest, and pull him towards you again, and he will receive a good hit to the groin as well. With these three moves mentioned here you will break free of him and weaken him as well.

[1] The first binding-on at the dagger 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. 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 should thus then thrust at you, so take that [his] away from below so that your thumb stands on your pommel and the blade lies outward on the arm.^[7] Immediately step with your left leg behind his right and grab with your left hand on his right elbow. Shove him therewith from you and, simultaneous with the shove, stab at his face. If he has thus seized you and stabs at your face, so take him away nimbly inwardly with your left hand. Immediately set your right leg back on your right side so you wind yourself from him.	[3r] Page:MS Dresd.C.94 003r.png 3r.

In dem zuck deinen Tolch behend an dich, und stoß Im darmit nach seiner rechte seiten. Stost er dann also auff dich, so nimb Im das ab von unden, das dein daum auf deinen knopf stand, und die kling außwendig auff dein arm lig.

[2] A stab against the taking away Item: conduct yourself thus in this device with the onset. Wind yourself with stabs and with thrusts doubly in at him [so] that your left leg comes in forward and [you] stab him at his right side [so] that the thumb stands by your rondel. 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. BREAK If he has thus set on, so set your left foot back and grab with your left hand outward over his right^[8] and stab him at his face. If he takes that away with his dagger, so grab with your left hand on his right; push him therewith under himself and thrust him in his face. If he thus thrusts doubly at you, so grab with your left hand on his right arm, step with your right foot behind his right and shove him with strength from yourself.^[9]	[3v] Page:MS Dresd.C.94 003v.png 3v.

In congressu contra hostem hac ratione te accomodato, punctiones et impulsus usurpando ingreditor dupliciter contra eum ita tamen ut pes sinister prior sit, atque latus eius dextrum figito, pollice iuxta laminam consistentem. Sed si is idem usurparit, dextrum te prefigente, eius conatum removaberis ex pugionum coniunctione retro hostilis pugionis laminam, pollice tuo supra nodum consistente, interea pede sinistro retro adversarij dextrum concedas, secundumque cubitum dextrum eius brachium manu sinsitra arripe, si eum eo habitu repuleris, collum ipsius figito.

At si is pugionis sui habitu te repulerit, sinistra manu, eius dextra arrepta, si depresseris deorsum, rursus uisum eius pungendo sauciabis. Verum si adversarius te gemino impulsu appetierit, dextro ipsius brachio manu sinistra adprehenso, atque dextrum pedem si hostis dextro postposueris, fortiter abs te eum repellas, id est pugione brachio adplicato.

[3] Two inward takings away from the right side Item: conduct yourself thus in this taking away. Set your right foot forward and go to him with your dagger at his right arm. If he stands also thus against you with his right foot forward and is simultaneously working with you, so grab with your left hand in front on his right, shove him therewith under himself and stab at his right side. If he thus stabs at you, so seize him with your left hand by his right elbow and step in with your left foot; shove him therewith from you. If he thus shoves you from him, so step with your right leg back on your right side so you wind yourself away from him. In this, step with equal feet together and stab him in his face. If he thus takes away this stab and sets this of yours off with his dagger on his right arm and grabs you with his left hand on your right arm, so grab with your left hand well under his right arm pit and twist him on your right side.^[10] Immediately step in behind and stab him in his neck.	[4r] Page:MS Dresd.C.94 004r.png 4r.	[212r] Zwai Inwendige abnemen von der rechten seiten Item schick dich also in das abnemen, setz deinen rechten fuß vor, und gang Im mit deinem tolchen nach seinem rechten arm. Steet er dann auch also gegen dir mit seinem rechten fuß vor, und ist in gleicher arbait mit dir, so greiff mit deiner lingken hand vornen nach seiner rechten, scheub In damit undersich, und stich Im nach seiner rechten seiten. Sticht er dir also zu, so faß In mit deiner lingken hand bej seinem rechten elnbogen, und trit mit deinem lingken fuß hinein, scheub In damit von dir. Scheubt er dich also von Im, so trit mit deinem rechten schenkel zurugk auff dein rechte seiten, so windst du dich von Im. In dem trit mit gleichen fuessen zusamen, und stich Im nach seinem gesicht. Nimbt er dir den stich ab, und versetzt dir das mit seinem Tolchen auff seinem rechten arm, und greift dir mit seiner lingken hand nach deinem rechten arm, so greiff mit deiner lingken hand wol under sein rechte uchße, und verwend In auff dein rechte seiten. In des trit behend hinnach, und stich Im nach seinem hals.	[212r] Duae interiores aversiones de latere dextro. Ad habitum eius aversionis si rite te componere volueris, dextrum pedem prepones, hostisque brachium dextrum adpetito. Sed si is itidem contra te dextro innixus fuerit, æqualiterque tecum pugnarit, tum manu sinistra, anterius eius dextram si adprehenderis, nec non deorsum suppresseris, dextrum latus figito hostis. At si te consimili ratione adgredi moliatur, dextrum eius cubitum manu sinistra arrepta, si pede sinistro fueris insequutus, eum abs te removeas. Sin autem is te itidem repulerit, dextrum referto in latus dextrum, et eo modo ab hoste te deflectes, interim vero pedem utrumque si coniunxeris, uisum eius pungito. Sed si eum impetum exceperit pugione brachio dextro imposito, atque manu sinistra tuum brachium dextrum arripere conetur, tum axillam dextram adversarij manu sinistra adprehendas, eumque in latus dextrum convertas. Verum subito insequutus collum eius figito.	[4r] Page:Cod.icon. 393 II 004r.jpg 4r.
[4] Two other inward takings away which lead to an arm break Item: conduct yourself thus with this device. Stand with your right foot forward. If he then also stands against you with his right foot set forward with you in equal effort^[11] and [you] have thus bound one another inwardly with your daggers, thus pull [it] immediately nimbly and change it through from below and stab him outwardly at his right arm. If he should stab thus at you, so take it away with your dagger on your arm, immediately stab nimbly from above at his face. If he should set off this stab, thus pull above and stab him from below at his right side. If he should thus stab doubly at you thus set it off with your dagger and grab with your left hand forward at his point. If he has thus seized you and desires to take your dagger, so release it to him. Immediately grab with your right hand in front on his right and with the left well behind his right elbow, step with your left foot behind his right, immediately wind him above from you and below to you, thus you break his arm.	[4v] Page:MS Dresd.C.94 004v.png 4v.	[212v] Zway andere Inwendige abnemen, daraus die armbruch gond Item schick dich also mit disem stuck, stand mit deinem rechten fuß vor, steet er dan auch gegen dir seinem rechten fuß furgesetzt mit dir in gleicher arbait, und habt also einander mit *euren Tolche Inwendig angebunden, so zuck in des behend, und wechsel Im von unden durch, und stich In außwendig nach seinem rechten arm. Sticht er dir also zu, so nimb Im das ab mit deinem Tolchen auff deinem arm, In des stich Im behend von oben nach seinem gesicht. Versetzt er dir den stich, so zuch oben, un stich Im unden nach seiner rechten seiten. Sticht er dir also zwifach ein, so setz Im auff mit deinem Tolchen, und greif mit deiner lingken hand nach seinem vordern ort. Hat er dich also gefaßt, und begert dir den Tolche zu nemen, so laß Im den. In des greiff mit deiner rechte hand vornen auf sein rechte, und mit der lincken wol hinder seinem rechten elnbogen; trit mit deinem lingken fuß hinder seinen rechten. In des wind In oben von dir, und unden zu dir, so brichst du Im den arm.	[212v] Duae aliae interiores auersiones, unde infringendorum brachiorum habitus formantur Dextrum pedem, si ad hostem propius accesseris preponas. Et si is uicissim dextro innitens contra te constiterit, parique labore seu pugnu tecum concertet, necnon pugiones inuicem contigeritis interius, pugione tuo quantum poteris celerrime retracto, inferneque circumvoluto, dextrum eius brachium exterius pungito. Sed si hostis eadem ratione te adgredi conetur, pugione imposito brachio, eius impetum auertere non dubites, uersum confestim superne eius uisum pungere conaberis. Sin eum conatum repellere tentarit, pugione superne arrepto, inque punctionem supernam aptato, inferne latus hostis dextrum figito. Ceterum aduersarius cum gemina punctione contra te utatur, pugionem eius manu pugionem tenenti adiungito manuque sinistra mucronem anteriorem adprehendito. Sed si te consimili modo corripuerit, uolueritque pugionem manibus tuis extorquere, eum hosti permittas, uerum dextra manu, adversarij dextra anterius correpta, sinistra uero eius brachij partem secundum cubitum dextrum, et si pedem sinistrum, eius dextro postposueris, atque abs te brachium eius auerteris superne, inferne attraxeris, brachium aduersarij confringes.	[4v] Page:Cod.icon. 393 II 004v.jpg 4v.
[5] A face thrust against a lower taking away Item: Conduct yourself thus. Stand with your left foot forward and hold your dagger in your left hand upright against his face. If he should then stand also against you with his right foot forward and holds his dagger up, the thumb on the pommel, the point against the man, so follow with your right leg in after and thrust him at his face. If he thus thrusts above at you, so wind your blade on your arm, immediately go well up in front of your face and take away his stab on your right side. Immediately step in with your left leg and thrust him doubly at his face or the breast. If he takes away your [thrust], so spring with your right foot in [the] triangle and thrust him therewith at his right side. If he thus thrusts at you, so set his [thrust] aside, immediately tear after him and seek his next [nearest?] opening If he has set himself forward, so change through nimbly and thrust at his genitals. If you become aware of this thrust, so fall to him with your left hand on his right and remove his thrust therewith. Immediately stab nimbly at this face and step back into a good stance.	[5r] Page:MS Dresd.C.94 005r.png 5r.	[213r]	[213r] Impulsus quo uisus adpetitur, addito inferne auersionis habitu. In habitum modo commemoratum ea ratione te componere necesserit, sinistro pedem preposito, in manu sinistra pugionem directe contra hostis uisum teneas. Et si uicissim is pedem dextrum preponens contra te constiterit, tenensque super dextrum pugionem, pollex nodo eius impositus, mucro contra hostem porrectus sit, si fueris pedem dextro consequutus, uisum eius pulsato. Verum si hostis idem contra te usurparit, pugionem supra brachium tuum deflecte, atque sursum si leuaris, uersum latus dextrum punctionem hostilem repelles: postea autem sinistro pede insequutus, gemina punctione eius uisum uel pectus configito. Excipiente id aduersario, in triangulum dextro prosilias, et latus hostis dextrum tundas. Eius uero impetum, si idem contra te usurparit, repellas. Sed ex eo habitu urgendo hostem insequutus, nuditates eius proximas explorabis. Sin autem id remouerit, celeriter pugione circumflexo pudenda eius *quassabis. Cum uero ab eo idem contra te parari senseris, tum sinistram manum hostis dextræ adiungas, et impulsum eius si remoueris, uisumque celeriter pupugoris, in tuta tui defensione ab eo recedere memineris.

[6] A low taking away against a high face thrust Item: Conduct yourself thus in the taking away. Stand with your right foot forward and hold your dagger in front of your right knee. If he then stands also with his right foot against you, his dagger in the High against your face, the thumb on his pommel, so follow with your left leg in after and go from below up with the Shears and thrust at his face. If he thus thrusts at your face, so take notice even as [he thrusts] and grab with your left hand inwardly on his right arm and set away his thrust therewith, immediately stab doubly at his face. If he thus stabs doubly at you, so take that away with your dagger; immediately set your left hand under his right elbow and shove him from you on your right side. If he desires to shove you thus from himself, so step in with your left^[12] leg and grab with your left hand on his left. Press therewith under yourself, thus you will free yourself from him. Immediately thrust him nimbly in his face and simultaneously in the thrust grab with your left hand under his right armpit and shove him with strength from you.	[5v] Page:MS Dresd.C.94 005v.png 5v.

[7] A free thrust against a low rising Item: conduct yourself thus with this device. Stand with [your] feet equally together, your right arm with the dagger well above your head. Immediately step in with your right leg and stab at his face. If he thrusts thus at you and you stand with your left foot forward in the Scales, the left hand by your left knee, the dagger well behind by your right leg, so step in toward [him] with your right foot. Immediately go up and take his thrust away with your left hand out of the half-Shears. Immediately thrust him in his face or the breast. If he thus takes away the thrust, so wind nimbly through again from his left on his right side into his face. If he thus thrusts doubly at you, so set your right leg back and set it off from inside out so that the dagger lies on your right arm. Immediately step in with your right leg again and with the left spring out on his right side so you have a complete thrust at him. Immediately change yourself doubly back from him.	[6r] Page:MS Dresd.C.94 006r.png 6r.	[214r]	[214r] Habitus liberi impulsus contra eum impulsum qui sursum regitur.

[8] A setting aside out of the Shears against a left face thrust Item, conduct yourself thus in the Shears. Stand with your left foot forward, your dagger in front by your left knee, the thumb by the rondel, the left arm crosswise on your right. If he then stands thus against you with his left foot forward, the dagger in his left hand, in the High and desires to thrust at your face, so step in with your right leg and go up out of the Shears. Immediately set aside the thrust with your left arm and with the right arm thrust him over his left arm at his face. If he then takes away your thrust with his dagger on his left arm, so change through immediately nimbly from his left onto his right side. If he thus thrusts doubly at you, so take your dagger out of the left hand in your right and take that away in front on your dagger. Immediately step with your right foot behind his right and stab him doubly at his right side.

[1] A High Thrust against a Low Thrust with the Rappier 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. 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.

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 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.	[139v] Page:MS Dresd.C.94 139v.png 139v.	[54v] Page:Cod.icon. 393 II 054v.jpg 54v.
[3] An Understich against a Zornhaw (wrath strike) 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). 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.	[140r] Page:MS Dresd.C.94 140r.png 140r.	[55r] Page:Cod.icon. 393 II 055r.jpg 55r.

[6] One High Thrust against Another 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 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. 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. 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.	[141v] Page:MS Dresd.C.94 141v.png 141v.	[56v] Page:Cod.icon. 393 II 056v.jpg 56v.
[7] Falling Over with a Krumb against a Thrust 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. 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 strike towards his head with the long edge of your Rappier. 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.	[143r] Page:MS Dresd.C.94 143r.png 143r.	[58r] Page:Cod.icon. 393 II 058r.jpg 58r.
[10] A Powerful Thrust from Above and Below Hold yourself like this at the closing with this technique: step in with your right leg and do a powerful low thrust to his groin with your Rappier. If he thrusts low towards you like this and you stand with your left foot opposite him, then set this aside with your Dagger to your left side and during the parry do a powerful thrust with your Rappier from above to his face or chest such that the long edge is turned upward. If he thrusts high towards you like this, then drive upward with your Dagger to his Rappier and with that take his thrust away on your left side (as in illustration). If he has taken you aside like this, then yank your Rappier up quickly away from his Dagger and thrust low to his body. If he thrusts low at you like this, then step back with your right leg and take this aside with the long edge of your Rappier. Then immediately quickly step in once again and strike or thrust to his head. With that yank yourself back from him into a good Versazung (parry position).	[143v] Page:MS Dresd.C.94 143v.png 143v.	[58v] Page:Cod.icon. 393 II 058v.jpg 58v.
[11] A Low Thrust against an Oberhaw It happens like this at the closing with this technique: he stands opposite you with his right foot and fires an Oberhaw at you. So step in with your left leg opposite him and set this aside with your Dagger and Rappier blades crosswise in the Scheer (scissors) (as in illustration). Then immediately yank your Rappier up away from his Rappier’s blade and thrust low to his body. If he thrusts low towards you like this, then step back with your right leg and drop your Dagger onto his Rappier’s blade and with that take his thrust away to your left side. Then immediately step in quickly with your right leg once again and thrust to his groin. If he thrusts low towards you like this, then step back with your left leg and take this aside with your Dagger to your left side.

[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. 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 (as in illustration). 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 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.

[14] A Thrust from Below against an Oberhaw 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 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 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 thrusts you from below like this, then strike the thrust away with your Rappier and immediately step in the triangle on your left side and thrust to his right side. With that yank yourself back away from him.	[145v] Page:MS Dresd.C.94 145v.png 145v.	[60v] Page:Cod.icon. 393 II 060v.jpg 60v.
[15] A High Thrust with the Dagger and Rappier Abnemen (parry) 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 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. 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.	[146r] Page:MS Dresd.C.94 146r.png 146r.	[61r] Page:Cod.icon. 393 II 061r.jpg 61r.

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.	[146v] Page:MS Dresd.C.94 146v.png 146v.	[61v] Page:Cod.icon. 393 II 061v.jpg 61v.
[17] The Two Upper Bindings from the Right Side 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 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 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.	[147r] Page:MS Dresd.C.94 147r.png 147r.	[62r] Page:Cod.icon. 393 II 062r.jpg 62r.

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. 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. If he strikes like this to your foot, then yank it back and thrust immediately to his face.	[147v] Page:MS Dresd.C.94 147v.png 147v.	[62v] Page:Cod.icon. 393 II 062v.jpg 62v.	[14v] [No text]

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.	[148v] Page:MS Dresd.C.94 148v.png 148v.	[63v] Page:Cod.icon. 393 II 063v.jpg 63v.

If you then stand with your left foot opposite him and he thrusts towards you like this, then drop your Buckler over both of his arms from above and with that force his Sword and Buckler downward towards the ground. At the same time cut with the short edge through his neck (as in illustration). If he has set upon you low and high like this and intends to cut you, then drive your Sword and Buckler upwards very high and with that take his high cut away. Then immediately step in with your left leg, yank your back Sword towards you and then thrust from below to his chest. If he thrusts from below towards you like this, drop your Buckler onto his Sword and with that take his thrust away and then cut through his right arm. If he intends to cut you like this, then set this aside at your left side and immediately yank yourself back away from him with a Creizhaw (crossing strike).	[154v] Page:MS Dresd.C.94 154v.png 154v.

[34] An Abnemen against a Low Thrust It happens like this with this technique when you go together: step in with your right leg and thrust low to his left leg. 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. If he winds towards your face like this, then take this away with your long edge and with the short drop over his Sword blade and thrust to his chest. If he intends to thrust to your body like this, then step back with your left leg so that you move away from his thrust. Then immediately strike with a Creizhaw double to his left arm.

With that press away from you to your left side and then immediately thrust from below to his body. If he thrusts from below towards you like this and you stand with your right foot opposite him, then set this aside with your Buckler and immediately likewise thrust from below to his left side. If he displaces this with his Buckler, then strike with a Zwirchhaw to his right arm. If he strikes towards you like this, then displace it with your long edge and immediately thrust to his groin. If he thrusts low towards you like this, then step with your right foot onto his Sword and Buckler, hold your Sword in your left hand at the middle of the blade next to your Buckler, and immediately drive with that around his neck so that you have his head between your arms (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.	[158r] Page:MS Dresd.C.94 158r.png 158r.	[73r] Page:Cod.icon. 393 II 073r.jpg 73r.

[41] An Arm-Break out of a Bind It happens like this when you go together with this technique: step in with your (right) leg and bind upon his Sword. If he then likewise stands with his right foot opposite you and has you in the bind, then yank your Sword to you and thrust from below to his chest. If he thrusts from below towards you like this, then displace this with your Buckler and strike with a Zwirchhaw to the right side of his face. Then immediately yank your left leg back and thrust to the left side of his chest. If he thrusts towards you like this, then take it away with your Buckler and at the same time wind with a thrust to his face.
