94v a English smoothed

• Running through, and about wrestling.

• Use this technique against opponents who run in and wrestle to avoid wounds and strikes

• Practice this other method for them.
• When your opponent shifts your attack, and wants to attack (with?) arms high and conquer you with upper body strength,
• raise your arms quickly, and lift the node of the sword above your head with your left hand,
• then draw your sword tightly and incline it through the back, and thrust your head through under his arms toward the side,
• then advance your right foot and place it behind their right, and leap into them,
• so that you encircle the body of the opponent from the left side with your right arm,[^4]
• and you can throw them with your right hip so they land on their head.

94v a notes

• [^1]: [1](rendering based on Logeion definition), supported by DMLBS and Lewis and Short-- L&S say it's from a Greek word for writhing
• [^2]: 11-12, 13-14: phrases split by [an unnecessary] comma, potentially to avoid long lines?
• [^3]: leap, jump, move suddenly/spasmodically, jerk, spurt...
• [^4]: 16-17 order reversed for englishification
• lines 1-2: the German basically has "use this against people who run in," no extra detail

• Practice this wrestling on both sides.

94v b notes

• [^5]: phrase about foot placement split by extra comma
• [^6]: The abdomen below the ribs. He uses a different word for "loins" below, so this one couldn't be loins.
• [^7]: There are a series of directional doublings in this text (anterius+praeponas; in+inieceris; retorsum+reijcito).
• [^8]: There are a series of repeated verb stems in the Latin that are almost impossible to repeat in an English translation: incurrerit+transcurras = run in+run through; inieceris+reijcito = throw inward+throw backwards
