[1] '''A parry against a death strike with the poleaxe'''
 +
 
 +
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.

[2] '''A death strike against a thrust to the chest'''
 +
 
 +
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.

[3] '''Two turn-ins/break-ins with the poleaxe'''
 +
 
 +
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 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.

[5] '''A thrust to the groin against a turning in'''
 +
 
 +
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.

[6] '''Two pulls followed by a throw'''
 +
 
 +
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.

[7] '''A breaking in with the axe'''
 +
 
 +
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.

[8] '''A death strike against a pull'''
 +
 
 +
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.

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 your opponent parries on the shaft between his hands then step forward with the left foot and strike a death strike to his head, and then turn your axe around as you step away from him.

In this device you stand with your right foot forward, right hand holding your back end pointing toward your opponent and left hand by the axe blade, and from here you step forward with your left foot, and thrust your opponent in the ned with the back end between his arms. If he comes at you thus, and you are standing with your feet together then parry his thrust with the back end you your right.

If he attacks your head in this manner, then parry his strike between your hands on the shaft. Then press his axe down with your axe blade and thrust him with the front end in the face, and then move away from him.
