Sigmund ain Ringeck/Sandbox

Ringeck's treatise might be said to have kicked off the modern HEMA movement; a complete transcription of the Dresden version was included by Martin Wierschin in his landmark Meister Johann Liechtenauers Kunst des Fechtens in 1965, which was the first "HEMA book". This transcription was later translated to modern German by Christoph Kaindel in the 1990s. A new transcription was authored by Dierk Hagedorn in 2008 and posted on the Hammaborg site.

The first English translations were produced in 2001 by Jörg Bellinghausen and Christian Tobler. An early draft of Bellinghausen's translation of the long sword was posted on the ARMA site, whereas Tobler's translated was published by Chivalry Bookshelf in Secrets of German Medieval Swordsmanship. Jörg Bellinghausen indicates that he completed translation afterward, but it was lost in a computer mishap and he never reproduced it; instead, in 2003 David Rawlings completed his work translated by the remaining plays of the long sword as well as the short sword section. A fourth English translation was produced by David Lindholm and published in 2005 by Paladin Press in two volumes: Sigmund Ringeck's Knightly Art of the Longsword and Sigmund Ringeck's Knightly Arts of Combat: Sword-and-Buckler Fighting, Wrestling, and Fighting in Armor.

Other translations produced in the '00s include an anonymous French translation posted on the ARDAMHE site, Eugenio García-Salmones' Spanish translation in 2006 posted on the AVEH site (translated from the French), Gábor Erényi's Hungarian translation (posted on Schola Artis Gladii et Armorum), and Andreas Engström's Swedish translation posted on the GHFS site. In 2012, Keith Farrell translated the Swedish into a fifth English version.

All of these translations were based exclusively on the Dresden version, which was the only version known in the 20th century and thought to be unique until other versions began surfacing in the 21st. The Salzburg version was well-known going back at least to Wierschin, and transcriptions were posted by Beatrix Koll on the Universitätsbibliothek Salzburg site in 2002 and by Dierk Hagedorn on the Hammaborg site in 2009; likewise, the Aubsburg version was known going back at least to Hans-Peter Hils, and a transcription by Werner Ueberschär was posted on the Schwertbund Nurmberg site in 2012. However, the fact that these manuscripts included fragments of Ringeck's gloss was not realized until they were added to Wiktenauer.

The Glasgow Fechtbuch was identified in Sydney Anglo's 2000 opus as merely "[R. L.] Scott's Liechtenauer manuscript", but it was eventually determined to contain writings of Ringeck. In 2009, the first 24 folia were transcribed by Anton Kohutovič and posted on the Gesellschaft Liechtenauers site, and the complete manuscript was translated by Dierk Hagedorn and posted on Hammaborg. It's unclear when the Rostock version was first identified as pertaining to Joachim Meyer, but it began circulating prior to 2009 and Kevin Maurer authored a partial transcription in 2011; Dierk Hagedorn posted a complete transcription in 2015 on Hammaborg. And the Vienna version has been known as a manuscript illustrated by Albrecht Dürer for centuries, but the attribution of the short sword teachings to Ringeck wasn't made until Dierk Hagedorn's transcription of 2016.

In 2015, Christian Trosclair authored the first translation of the long sword section that incorporated all known versions, which he donated to Wiktenauer.

More recently, Stephen Ceney published a new translation in his book Ringeck · Danzig · Lew Longsword, self-published in 2020. He also authored the first translation of the Glasgow version of Ringeck's mounted fencing and donated it to Wiktenauer.

The number in brackets at the beginning of each translation box is a paragraph number assigned by Wiktenauer; clicking it will take you to the translation page. The numbers in brackets in the transcriptions with an "r" or "v" are manuscript folio numbers; clicking them will take you to original page scan with the transcription alongside for comparison. If you want to sort a column by number, click the black triangles in the table headers.

Whenever the Glasgow version mentions an illustration, the scan is included in the illustration column whether it has a picture or not. The Rostock version has no illustrations at all in this section, so it is not pictured when it mentions them.

	[1] Here begins the interpretation of the recital. In this, the knightly art of the long sword lay written; which Johannes Liechtenauer, may God be merciful to him, who was known to be a high master of the art, had composed and created. he had allowed it to be written in veiled and misleading words, for the reason that the art should not become common. And Master Sigmund ein Ringeck, fencing master to the highborn prince and noble Lord Albrecht, Pfalzgraf of Rhein and Herzog of Bavaria had these very veiled and misleading words glossed and interpreted as lay written here in this little book, so that any fencer that can otherwise fight can fully absorb and understand it.	[1] Here begins the interpretation of the Recital In this, the knightly art of the long sword lies written, which Johannes Liechtenauer, who was a great master in the art, composed and created. By the grace of god he had let the Recital be written with obscure and disguised words, so that the art shall not become common. And so Master Sigmund ein Ringeck, at the selfsame time known as fencing master to the highborn prince and noble Lord Albrecht, Pfalzgraf of the Rhine and Herzog of Bavaria, had these same obscure and disguised words of the Recital glossed and interpreted as lay written and pictured here in this little book, so that any one fencer who can otherwise fight properly may well go through and understand.	[1] Here begins the explanation of the epitome. In which lies recorded the knightly art of the longsword, composed and formed by Johannes Liechtenauer, who was a great master in the art, may God be merciful to him. He wrote the markverses with deep and hidden words, so that the art would not be widely known. And these deep and hidden words have been by Master Sigmund ain Ringeck, fencing master to the highborn prince and noble Lord Albrecht, Count Palatine of Rhine and Duke of Bavaria, recorded and explained in this little book which now follows, so that every fighter who otherwise can fight, shall be able to take these and understand them.	[1] This is the beginning of the interpretation of the Knightly Art of the Langenschwert, written down in rhymes by the grand Fechtmeister of the Medieval German school, Johannes Liechtenauer. He recorded his teachings in secret words, so that the art may not be commonly spread. These secret phrasings were later interpreted and commented on in a book by Sigmund Ringeck, at the time Fechtmeister of Albrecht, Count Palatine of Rhine and Duke of Bavaria.

	[3] This is the text of many good common lessons of the long sword 9 If you wish to examine the art,  Go left and right with cutting 10 And left with right  That is, if you desire to fence strongly. Gloss. Note this is the first lesson of the long sword: In which you shall learn to make the cuts properly from both sides, that is, if you otherwise wish to fence strongly and correctly. Look at it like this: When you wish to cut from the right side, then see to it that your left foot stands forward. If you then make a descending cut from the right side, then accompany the cut with the right foot. If you do not do that, then the cut is spurious and incorrect, because your right foot remains behind. Therefore the cut is too short and can not posses its correct path downward to the correct other side in front of the left foot.	[3] This is the text of many good common lessons of the long sword 9 If you wish to examine the art,  Go left and right with hewing 10 And left with right  that is, if you desire to fence strongly. Gloss. Note, this is the first lesson of the long sword: That you shall learn to hew the hews properly from both sides, that is, if you otherwise wish to fence strongly and correctly. Understand it thusly: When you wish to hew from the right side, so see that your left foot stands forward. If you then hew the over-hew from the right side, so follow-after the hew with the right foot. If you do not do that, then the hew is false and incorrect, because your right foot remains there behind. Therefore the hew is too short and may not attain its correct path below to the correct other side in front of the left foot.	[3] Many good general lessons about the longsword. 9 If you would like to see skill,  see that you go to the left then right with the cuts. 10 And left with right,  if you want to fight strongly. Glosa. This is the longsword's first lesson; that you shall learn to cut properly from both sides, so that you can fight strongly and correctly. When you want to cut from the right side, stand with your left foot forwards; and when you want to cut from the left side, stand with your right foot forwards. If you cut with an Oberhau from the right side, follow after the cut with your right foot. If you do not do this then the cut is poor and insincere, because your right side lingers behind. Then the cut becomes too short and cannot follow the correct arc down towards the other side, in front of the left foot.	[3]  Note: This is the first tenet of the long sword: learn to strike blows equally well from both sides if you want to learn to fence well. Note: If you want to strike from the (your) right side, make sure, your left foot is forward (at the beginning); if you want to strike from the left side, the right foot must be forward. If you strike an Oberhau from the right side then, follow the blow with your right foot. If you do not the blow is wrong and ineffective, because your right side stays behind. Because of this the blow will fall short and cannot travel in its proper arc towards the left side.

	[4] The same when you cut from the left side and [you] do not accompany the cut with the left foot. Thus the cut is also spurious. Therefore make sure from whichever side you cut, that you accompany the cut with the same foot, so that you can conduct all your plays with strength and all other cuts shall be hewn like this as well.	[4] The same when you hew from the left side and [you] do not follow-after the hew with the left foot, thus the hew is also false. Therefore note, from whichever side you hew, that you follow-after with the same foot, so you may conduct all your plays with strength and all other hews shall be hewn thusly as well.	[4] Similarly the cut is incorrect if you strike from the left side and do not follow after the cut with the left foot. So mark well, from which side you strike, that the foot follows after the cut. In this manner you can perform all of your techniques correctly and with strength. And in the same way should all the other cuts be performed.	[4] If you strike from the left side and you do not follow the blow, it too is wrong,. That is why no matter from which side you are striking follow the blow with the same foot. So you will succeed in all techniques. This is how you shall strike all blows.

	[5] Again, the text about a lesson 11 Whoever chases after cuts  They permit themselves little opportunity for art. 12 Cut from close proximity whatever you wish  No change gets past your shield 13 To the head, to the body  Do not omit the stingers 14 With the entire body  Fence whatever you desire to conduct with strength. Gloss. When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, you should not watch nor await their cut as they conduct it against you. Because all fencers that look out and wait upon the opponent's cut and wish to do nothing else than parry, they allow themselves little opportunity from art because they often become struck with it.	[5] Again, the text about a lesson 11 Whoever chases after hews,  They allow themselves to hardly enjoy the art. 12 Hew nearby, whatever you wish:  No change comes in your shield; 13 To the head, to the body,  Do not omit the fleshwounds. 14 With the entire body fence  Whatever you desire to conduct strongly. Gloss. Note, this is when you come to him with the onset: you shall not focus nor wait upon his hew as he conducts it against you. Because all fencers who focus and wait upon another's hew and wish to do nothing else than displace, they permit such art little joy because they often become struck with it.	[5] A further lesson 11 He who goes after the cut,  receives little joy from his skills. 12 Cut closely, then do what you want  so he cannot to change-through your defence. 13 Strike to the head, to the body,  do not refrain from swift strikes. 14 Fence with the whole body  if you want do this with strength. Glosa. When you come against him in Zufechten you shall not await his attack, and neither shall you wait to see what he is thinking about doing to you. All fencers who are hesitant and wait for the incoming attack, and do nothing other than to ward it away, they gain very little joy from this sort of practice because they are often beaten.	[5]  When you are closing to an opponent, do not watch his blows and do not wait for what he might use against you. Because all fencers, who just wait for their opponents blows and do not do anything else than warding them off, do not succeed very often. They are defeated very often.

	[6] Another. You shall note that everything that you wish to fence with, conduct that with the entire strength of the body and with that, cut in from close at the head and at the body, so they can not disengage in front of your point and with that cut, in the binding of the swords, you shall not omit the stingers to the nearest opening. That will be delineated hereafter in the five cuts and in other plays.	[6] Item. You shall note that every thing which you wish to fence, conduct it with the entire strength of the body; and cleave him in with that nearby to the head and to the body, so he may not change-through in front of your point; and with that hew, in the binding of the swords you shall not omit the fleshwounds to the nearest opening (which will be delineated hereafter in the five hews and in other plays).	[6] Always fight with the strength of the whole body! Cut close into him, to the head and to the body, so he cannot change-through in front of your point. And when the cut ends up in the bind you shall not hesitate but shall quickly and fluently make attacks against the nearest opening, using the five strikes and other techniques that will be described later.	[6] Note: Always fence using all of your strength! When you're close, strike at his head and at his body, so he may not be able to change through (Durchwechseln) in front of your point. After the blow, from the bind, strike light blows at his next opening, as is described in the section about different blows and other techniques.

	[7] Again, a lesson. 15 Hear what is bad.  Do not fence lefty from above if you are a righty 16 And if you are lefty,  In the right [you] are also severely hindered. Note the gloss. The lesson hits upon two people, one left and one right. The first cut, understand it like this: When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, if you subsequently judge and decide to strike the opponent, then do not hew the first cut from the left side. Because it is weak and with it, cannot not hold fast when one binds strongly against it. Therefore cut [from] the right side, so you may work strongly with art. Whatever you wish.	[7] Again, a lesson 15 Hear what is bad for that:  Do not fence from above left if you are right, 16 And if you are left,  In the right [you] are also severely hindered. Gloss. Note, this lesson hits upon two people, one left and one right, and understand it thusly: When you come to him with the onset, if you then judge and decide to strike the opponent, then do not hew the first hew from the left side. Because it is weak and with that, may not hold against when one binds strongly upon it. Therefore hew [from] the right side, so you may work strongly with art (whatever you wish).	[7] Another lesson. 15 Hear what is bad,  do not fence from the left if you are right-handed, 16 and if you are left-handed,  you are weak from the right. Glosa. This lesson applies to two types of people: those who are left-handed and those who are right-handed. When you come against him in Zufechten, if you are right-handed and want to strike him, you must not throw your first cut from your left side. That is because this is weak and cannot bring strength to bear if he binds the strong of his blade against you. Therefore, cut from your right side, so you can be strong and skillful in the bind and can do as you will.	[7]  Note: This tenet is addressed to left-handers and right-handers. If you are a right-handed fencer and you are closing to an opponent and you think you can hit him, do not strike the first blow from the (your) left side. Because you are weak there and you cannot resist, if he binds strongly against your blade. Because of this, strike from the right side, you can work strongly "Am Schwert" ("on the sword") and you can use all techniques you like.		aber ain lere Höre waß du schlecht ist / ficht nitt oben linck / so du recht bist Vñ ob du linck bist Im rechte~ auch ser hinckest ·: Glosa Mörck die lere trifft an zwu° personen aine~ lincken vnd ain grechten / vñ mainest den man zu° schlagen So haw° den ersten haw° Das vernÿm also.  Wann du mitt zu° fechten zu° im kumpst Bist du dann gerecht vñ mainest den man zu° schlachen So haw den erste~ haw° nicht von der lingen sÿtten Wann der ist schwach vnd magst damitt nicht [14v] wider gehalten wann man dir starck daruff bindt Darum so haw der rechten sÿtten / so magst du starck am schwert mitt kunst arbaÿten waß du wilt			Aber ein lehre.

	[8] The same is if you are lefty. Then do not cut from the right side as well, because the art is quite awkward [when] a lefty drives from the right side. It is also the same [of] a righty from the left side.	[8] The same is if you are left. So likewise do not hew from the right side, because the art is quite awkward [when] a lefty conducts from the right side. It is also the same [of] a righty from the left side.	[8] Similarly, if you are left handed, do not cut from the right, because the art is pointless when a left-hander tries to fence from the right side. Likewise this statement applies to a right-hander fencing from the left side.	[8] So, if you are left-handed, do not strike from the right side, since left-handers are usually not used to strike effectively from the right side and vice versa.		Des gelichen Bist du linck so haw° och nitt von der rechtt~ wenn die kunst ist gar wild aine~ lincken ze triben von der rechten sÿtten Des glich ist es och aine~ rechten von der lincken sÿtten ~			desgleichen bistu linck So haw auch nicht von der rechten seiten, wann die kunst ist gar wildt einem lincken zu treyben, vor der rechten seiten desgleichen ist sie auch einen rechtem von der lincken hanndt.
	[9] This is the text and learn a lesson about before and after. 17 Before and After, the two things  Are the singular origin of the entire art. 18 Weak and strong  Indes, note them with this word 19 So that you may learn  To work and ward with art. 20 Whoever frightens easily  Never learns to fence. Gloss. Note this is so that you shall fully understand the before and the after before any confrontations. Because the two things have one origin that gives rise to the entire art of fencing. Look at it like this: The before, this is so that you shall always come forth with a cut or with a thrust to the opponent's opening the moment before they do the same to you so that they must parry you. Then work swiftly with your sword in front of you from one opening to the other within the parry. So they can not come with their plays before your work. But if they rush in on you, then come before with the wrestling.	[9] This is the text and a lesson about before and after 17 Before and after, the two things  Are the one origin of all art. 18 Weak and strong,  In-the-moment; with that mark the word. 19 Thus, you may learn  To work and ward with art. 20 If you frighten easily,  Never learn any fencing. Gloss. Note, this is that before anything, you shall understand the before and the after well, because these two things have one origin which gives rise the entire art of fencing. Understand it thusly: The before, this is so that you shall always come forth with a hew or with a thrust to his opening before the moment he comes with his [strike] to yours. Thus he must displace you. Then work swiftly in the displacement in front of you with the sword from one opening to the other, so he may not come before your work with his plays. But if he runs-in to you, then come forth with the wrestling.	[9] A lesson about "Before" and "After". 17 "Before" and "After", these two things,  all other skills spring from these. 18 "Weak" and "Strong",  "Instantly", mark well these words. 19 So you can learn  to work skillfully and defend yourself. 20 If you become gentle and timid,  you will never learn anything about fencing. Glosa. Mark well that more than anything else you must understand "Before" and "After", because these two concepts are the grounding from which all fencing comes. Mark also: "Before" means that you shall always perform a strike or thrust against his openings, before he does the same to you. Then he must defend against you! And work deftly both in the defence and in moving your sword from one opening to another, so he cannot have the chance to perform his own techniques between yours. But if he rushes in close to you, deal with him through wrestling.	[9]  Note: Above all other things, you must understand the principles of "before" (Vor) and "after" (Nach), because the entire art of fencing is based upon it. "Before" means, preempting him with a blow or a thrust against an opening before he can hit you, so he must defend/displace (Versetzen). So, be flexible in your defence and aim with your sword at one opening after the other, so he cannot get through with his own techniques. But, if he rushes in, start wrestling.

	[10] Here note that which is called the after. Note. If you can not come into the before, then wait upon the after. These are the breaks of all plays that they conduct upon you. Look at it like this: When the opponent comes before such that you must parry them, swiftly work Indes to the nearest opening during the parry, so that you hit them the moment before they accomplish their play.	[10] Here note that which is called the after Note, if you may not come in the before, then wait upon the after. These are the breaks of all plays which he conducts upon you. Understand it thusly: When he comes-before such that you must displace him, so swiftly work in-the-moment with the displacement to the nearest opening, so you hit him the moment before he accomplishes his play.	[10] Mark, that which is called "After". Mark, that if you cannot come in the "Before", wait for the "After". This will defeat all techniques that he does against you. When he comes at you so that you must defend yourself against him, so work deftly "in the Instant" with your defence against his nearest opening, so strike him before he can finish his technique.	[10] "After" means: If you do not succeed with the "before", wait for the "after". These are the defenses against all techniques he uses against you. So, if you have to displace him, make the displacement "simultaneously" (Indes) and from the bind, strike immediately at his nearest opening.		Hie mörck was da haÿsst daß nach Mörck magstu zu° dem vor nitt kom~en So wart uff dz nach dz sÿnd die brüch uff allen stu°ck die er vff dich trÿbt Das vernÿm also Wann er vorkumpt daß du ihm verseczen mu°st So arbait mitt der versäczung / Indes behentlich für dich zu° der nächsten blöß So triffestdu in ee Wann [16r] er sein stuck verbringtt
	[11] Thus you have seized the before and they remain after. You shall also note in the before and after how you shall work with the word Indes according to the weak and according to the strong of their sword. And understand it like this: From the hilt of the sword up until the middle of the blade the sword has its strength. With that you may resist when someone binds you against it. And farther from the middle up until the point, it has it's weak which can not cannot resist. And when you understand these things properly, you can correctly work with art and with that protect yourself and furthermore teach princes and lords so that they may properly remain steadfast using the same art in in play and in earnest, but if you frighten easily, you should not learn the art of fencing because a heart drained of blood does no good when it becomes rattled by any art.	[11] Thus you have seized the before and he remains after. You shall also note in the before and after how you shall work with the word "in-the-moment", according to the weak and according to the strong of his sword, and understand it thusly: The sword has its strength from the hilt of the sword up until the middle of the blade; with that you may resist when someone binds you thereupon. And farther, from the middle up until the point, has its weak which cannot resist. And when you understand these things properly, you may properly work with art, and with it protect yourself and furthermore teach princes and lords so that they may properly remain steadfast with the same art, in play and in earnest; but if you fear easily, you should not learn the art of fencing, because a fragile discouraged heart, it does no good when it becomes struck by any art.	[11] Thus you win the "Before" and he is left in the "After". You shall also know how you can use "the Instant" against his "weak" and "strong" parts of the sword. From the hilt of the sword to the blade's centre the sword is "strong", and with this you can meet against his blade when you bind against it. And further, from the middle to the point the sword is "weak", which should not be brought against his blade. And when you really understand these things you can work skillfully and defend yourself well, and later teach princes and lords, so that they with these same skills can protect themselves well in play and earnest. But if you become frightened easily you should not learn fighting arts, because a weak and frightened heart—it does not help you—it defeats all of your skills.	[11] So you win the "before" and he remains in the "after". Also, you should – during the "before" and "after" – notice "simultaneously" (Indes) how you can "work" against the strong or the weak of his sword. This means: The strong of the sword reaches from the crossguard to the middle of the blade, with it, you can hold opposed, if somebody binds against it. The weak reaches from the middle of the blade to the point. Here you cannot hold opposed. If you firmly understand this, you can "work" and defend yourself very well. Princes and Lords learn to survive with this art, in earnest and in play. But if you are fearful, then you should not learn to fence. Because a despondent heart will always be defeated, regardless of all skill.

	[12] The text of the five cuts 21 Learn five cuts  From the right hand, whoever invests in these, 22 We swear to them  To gladly pay them back in skills. Note the recital sets down five concealed cuts. Many masters of the sword do not know to say that you should not learn to make other cuts, when from the right side, against those that position themselves against you in defense. And if you select one cut from the five cuts, then one can connect during the first strike. Whoever can break that without their harm, will be avowed by the masters of the recital such that their art shall become better rewarded than any other fencer that cannot fence against these five cuts. And how you shall hew the five cuts, you find that in the same five cuts written hereafter.	[12] This is the text of the five hews 21 Learn five hews  From the right hand against the defense. 22 We happily consign them  To the rewards in the Arts. Gloss. Note, the Recital sets down five obscure hews. Many masters of the sword do know nothing to say about this: that you should not learn to make other hews, when from the right side, against those who arrange themselves against you in defense. And if you select one hew from the five hews, then one must hit with the first strike. Whoever can break that without their harm will be praised by the masters of the Recital, because his art shall be praised better than another fencer who cannot fence the five hews against it. (And how you shall hew the five hews, you find that written hereafter in the same five hews.)

Mark well, the teaching verses present five secret cuts, which many swordmasters do not know to speak about. You will learn not to strike any other cuts when you come from the right side against one who stands against you in defence. And try if you can to hit an opponent with the first strike using one of these five cuts. The one who can counter with these against an opponent without being hurt will be praised by the master of the markverses, and his skill shall reward him more than another fencer who cannot fence with the five cuts. And how you shall throw the five cuts you will find hereafter recorded in the verses that talk about these same five cuts.

	[16] This is the wrath-cut with its plays 27 Whoever cuts at you from above,  The wrath-cut point threatens them Gloss. Look at it like this: When one cuts in from above from their right side, you also cut in a wrath-cut strongly from your right shoulder with them using your long edge. If they are subsequently soft against the sword, then shoot the point in forward long at their face and threaten to stab them.	[16] This is the wrath-hew with its plays 27 Whoever hews over you,  The wrath-hew point threatens him. Gloss. Understand it thusly: When one cleaves-in above from his right side, so also cleave-in a wrath-hew with him, with the long edge strongly from your right shoulder. If he is then soft upon the sword, so shoot-in the point forward long to his face and threaten to stab him (as stands done hereafter next to this).	[16] Do the Zornhau with these techniques. 27 That which cuts from above,  the Zornhau threatens him with the point. Glosa. When someone cuts against you from above from their right side, so cut with a strong Zornhau (wrath strike) with the long edge from your right shoulder. If he is weak in the bind, thrust in with the point along his blade to his face, and threaten to stab him.	[16] The Fighting Techniques: The Strike of Wrath and the Winding Note: When your adversary strikes at you from his right side with a strike from above (Oberhau), then hit with a strike of wrath from your right shoulder against it. Strike with your true edge and in your strong. When he is weak at the sword then, thrust into his face along his blade.		[19r] Das ist der zorn haw° mitt sinen stucken ~ Wer dir ober haw°et Zor haw ort im dröwet ·: Glosa Daß vernÿm also Wann dir ainer von siner rechten sÿtten oben oben [!] ein hawet so haw ainen zorn haw mitt der langen schnide~ och von diner rechte~ achslen mitt im starck ein Ist der dann waich am schwert / so schüß Im den ort für sich lang ein zu° dem gesicht Vnnd träw im zu° stechen ·~·:·~·			Das ist der Zornhaw mitt seinenn stuckenn.

	[17] Yet another play from the wrath-cut 28 If they become aware of it,  Then take off above without concern Gloss. When you shoot the point in during the wrath-cut, then if they become aware of the point and parry the thrust with strength, then drag your sword upwards up off away from theirs and cut in again at their head from above on the other side against their sword.	[17] Again a play from the wrath-hew 28 If he becomes aware of it,  So take-off above without driving. Gloss. This is when you shoot-in the point with the wrath-hew (as stands done before next to this): if he then becomes aware of the point and displaces the thrust with strength, so back-off your sword up above from his and cleave-in again above to the other side on his sword to his head (as stands done here).	[17] Another technique from the Zornhau. 28 If he recognises this,  so lift off above without danger. Glosa. When you thrust after a Zornhau and he becomes aware of the point and strongly defends against the thrust, twitch your sword up, over and away from his sword and cut him on the other side of his sword up into his head.	[17]  When you thrust against his face from the strike of wrath and he notices this and displaces the thrust with strength, pull your sword upwards, away from his. And then strike to the head from the other side, also along his blade.		Aber ain stuck vß dem zorn haw° Wirt er es gewar So nÿms [19v] oben ab an far :· Glosa Wann du mitt dem zorn haw den ort ein schüst wirt er dann deß orts gewar vñ verseczt den stich mit störcke So ruck dein schwert übersich oben ab von dem sinen Vñ haw im zu° der andren sÿtten an sine~ schwert wider oben ein zuo dem kopffe ~~			Aber ein stuck aus dem Zornhaw.

	[18] Yet another play from the wrath-cut 29 Be strong in turn  And thrust. If they see it, take it again[sic] Gloss. When you cut in with the wrath-cut, if the opponent parries it and remains strong against the sword with it, then be strong again against them against their sword and rise up with the strong of your sword into the weak of their sword and wind your hilt forwards in front of your head against their sword and then stab them in the face from above.	[18] Again a play from the wrath-hew 29 Be stronger back  And thrust. If he sees it, take it down Gloss. Note, this is when you cleave-in with the wrath-hew (as stands done before next to this): if he displaces it, and with that remains strongly upon the sword, so be strong back against him upon the sword, and drive up with the strong of your sword into the weak of his sword, and wind your hilt forward in front of your head upon the sword, and so thrust him high to the face (as stands pictured here).	[18] Another technique from the Zornhau. 29 Become stronger against  and thrust! If he marks this, take it below. Glosa. When you cut in against him with a Zornhau and he defends himself and holds backs, strong against you in the bind, so become strong again against him in the bind and push up with the "strong" of the sword against the "weak" of his sword, and wind your hilt high in front of your head, and thrust down from above into his face.	[18]  When you strike a strike of wrath and he displaces it and remains strong at the sword, hold strongly against it. With the strong of your sword, slide up to the weak (schwech) of his blade, wind the hilt in front of your head while remaining on the sword (am schwert) and thrust into his face from above.		Aber ein stuck vß de~ zornhaw° Biß störcker wider / vnd sch stich sicht erß so nÿm es wider ·: Glosa Wenn du im mitt dem zornhaw° Inhaw°st verseczt er dir daß vñ pleibt dir damitt [20r] starck am schwert So bÿß gen im wider starck am schwert Vñ far uff mit der störck dines schwerts in die schwöchi sines schwerts vnd wind am schwert de din gehülcz f~ vorne~ für dein hopt haupt vñ so stich in oben zu° dem gesichte ~			Aber ein stuck aus dem Zornhaw.

	[19] Yet another play from the wrath-cut When you thrust-in from above during the winding, as was before, if the opponent then rises up with their hands and parries the high thrust with their hilt, then remain standing like that in the winding and set the point down between their arms and the breast.	[19] Again a play from the wrath-hew When you thrust-in high with the winding (as stands pictured before), if he then goes up with the hands and displaces the high thrust with the hilt, so also remain standing in the winding and set the point down between his arms and the chest (as stands pictured here below).	[19] Another technique from the Zornhau. When you use the winding against him and thrust down from above—as mentioned already—and he pushes up high with the hands and uses the hilt to defend against your upper thrust, so stand in the winding and thrust your point downwards between his arms and chest.	[19]  When you thrust from the Winding as described and he displaces the thrust by lifting up his arms and his hilt, stay in the Winding and take the Ort (point or thrust) down between his arms and breast.		Aber ain stuck vß dem zornhaw° Wann du Im mitt dem winden oben ein stichst / alß vor stett / fört er den hoch vff mitt den henden vñ versetzt mitt dem gehülcze den obern sttich stich so plÿb alst also sten in dem winden vnd setz im den ort [20v] niden zwischen sinen armen vñ der brust ~ ~~			Aber ein stuck aus dem Zornhaw.

So beleib also stehenn in dem winden, vnnd setz im den ortt niden zwischen seinen armen ann die brust, als hie vnden gemalt stet.
	[20] A break against the taking off Note. When you bind with someone strongly against their sword, then if they drag their sword upwards up off away from your sword and cuts in again from above at your head on the other side against your sword to your head, then bind strongly with the long edge from high towards their head.	[20] A break against the taking-off Note, when you bind with someone strongly on his sword, if he then draws his sword from your sword up above and cleaves-in again on the sword above to the other side toward your head, so wind-in strongly with the long edge high to his head.	[20] A counter to the taking-away. When you bind strongly against him and he twitches away his sword up and over your sword and in the bind cuts against you on the other side of your sword to your head, so bind (strike) strongly with the long edge in against his head.	[20]  Note: When you engage at the sword ("binden") with strength and your adversary pulls his sword upwards and strikes at your head from the other side, then bind strongly with the true edge and strike him on the head.		Ain bruch wide~ daß abneme~ Mörck wenn du mitt ainem starck am schwert bindest Ruckt er dan sein schwert übersich oben abe von dine~ schwert vñ haw~t dir zu° der andere~ sÿtten am schwert wider eÿn zuo dem kopffe So bind starck mitt der langen schnÿden Im oben eÿn zu° dem kopffe ~~			Ein bruch wider das abnemenn.

	[21] Here note a good lesson. 30 Note this precisely:  Cut, thrust, guard; soft or hard, 31 Indes and before after[sic]  Without rush, your war is not hasty. 32 Whoever hunts the war  Above, will be exposed below. Gloss. This is what you shall quite precisely note when one with a cut or with a thrust or otherwise binds against your sword: whether they are soft or hard upon the sword. And when you have sensed this, you shall know Indes which is the best: whether you rush upon them with the before or with the after. But you shall not allow yourself to be too hasty with your war with your onrush. For the war is nothing other than the windings upon the sword.	[21] Here note a good lesson 30 Note this precisely:  Cut, thrust, leaguer; soft or hard, 31 In-the-moment and drive-after[sic]  Without hurry. Do not rush your war: 32 Whoever's war aims  Above, they become ashamed below. Gloss. This is what you shall quite precisely note: when one binds on your sword (with a hew or with a thrust or otherwise), [note] whether he is soft or hard upon the sword. And when you have sensed this, so you shall know in-the-moment which is the best for you: whether you work upon him with the before or with the after. But with that you shall allow yourself to be without hurry [and] not too rushed with the war, because the war is nothing other than the windings upon the sword.	[21] A good lesson. 30 Note to train this:  cut, thrusts, guards—soft and hard. 31 "Instant" and "Before", "After" without hurry.  Do not seek close combat prematurely. 32 Those who aim for close combat  before they are ready, are cut down. Glosa. When one binds against your sword with a cut or thrust or anything else, you must find out whether he is soft or hard in the bind. And when you find this, you will "Instantly" know what is best to do, to attack him with "Before" or "After". But in the attack you shall not be too hasty to go into close combat, because close combat is nothing other than the windings in the bind.	[21]  You must notice immediately, if someone is weak or strong at the sword if he binds at your sword with a strike or a thrust. If you have noticed that, you shall know simultaneously, if it is better to fight him in the "before" (Nach) or the "after" (Vor). But don’t engage rashly in close-combat (Krieg), this is nothing else than Winding (Winden) at the sword.

	[22] Another. Conduct the war like this: When you cut in with the wrath-cut, then as soon as the opponent parries, rise sufficiently up with your arms and twist your point into the upper opening. Then if they parry the thrust, keep staying in the winding and stab the lower opening with your point. Then if they chase the sword further by parrying, then pass through below their sword with your point and hang your point in from above into the other opening of their right side. In this way they become ashamed above and below if you can otherwise conduct the passage correctly.	[22] Item. Deploy the war thusly: When you cleave-in with the wrath-hew, then as soon as he displaces, drive up with the arms and wind-in the point upon the sword to the upper opening. If he then displaces the thrust, so keep staying in the winding and stab the low opening with the point. If he then further follows-after the sword with the displacements, then drive-through with the point below his sword and hang-in the point above to the other opening of his right side. Thus he becomes ashamed above and below, because you can otherwise conduct the techniques correctly.	[22] Perform close combat like this: when you cut against him with a Zornhau, when he defends himself quickly, you shall go up in an orderly fashion with the arms and wind against his sword with your point in against the upper opening. If he defends against this thrust, stand in the winding and thrust with the point into the lower openings. If he follows further after the sword in self defence, go under his sword with the point through to the other side and hang your point over in against the other opening on his right side. In this way he will be cut down in close combat both above and below, because you (unlike he) can perform the movements correctly.	[22] In close-combat you should do the following: if you strike him with the strike of Wrath and he displaces it, lift up your arms and, at the sword, wind the point to the upper opening. When he displaces (Versetzen) the thrust, stay in the winding and thrust to the lower opening. If he follows your sword in the displacement (Versatzung), lead your point through under his sword (disengage under – "durchführen") and thrust to the other opening on his right side. This is how you can defeat him in close-combat.

Gloss. This is how you shall properly find cut, thrust and slice in all windings. So when you wind, you shall immediately gauge which of the three is best to conduct. So that you do not cut when you should thrust, and not slice when you should cut, and should not thrust when you should slice. And note when someone parries the one, that you hit them with the other. So if one parries your thrust, then conduct the cut. If someone rushes in, then conduct the under-slice into their arm. Note [this] in all collisions and bindings of the sword, if you wish to confound the masters that sets themselves against you.

Gloss. This is how you shall properly find hew, thrust, and cut in all winding: so when you wind, you shall immediately test which of the three is best to conduct: the hew, or thrust, or cut. Thus, you do not hew when you should thrust, nor cut when you should hew, nor thrust when you should cut. And note, when someone displaces the one, that you hit them with the other. So if one displaces your thrust, then conduct the hew. If someone runs-in, then conduct the under-cut into their arm. Remember this in all hits and bindings of the sword, if you wish to confound the masters who set themselves against you.

Glosa. That is to say that you should in all windings find the correct cut, thrust or slice in this manner: when you wind, you shall become immediately aware of which the three will work best for you to use. This is so that you do not cut when you should thrust, and that you do not slice when you should cut, and so that you do not thrust when you should slice. And mark: when your opponent defends against the one, you should strike with the other. Also: if one defends against your thrust then use the cut. If he rushes in towards you, use the lower slice against his arm. Remember this in all fights and binds with the sword, if you want to defeat the masters who set themselves against you.

You shall here note the four openings on the opponent that you should always fence to. The first opening is the right side, the second is the left side above the girdle of the opponent. The other two are also the right and the left sides below the girdle. Precisely observe the openings in the onset with which they uncover themselves against you. Artfully target these without danger with the shooting in of the long point, with pursuing and otherwise with all techniques and and do not heed them as they bare against you with their techniques. Thus, you fence wisely and from this strike strikes that are excellent and with this do not allow them to come to their plays.

You shall here note the four openings on the man which you shall always fence to. The first opening is the right side; the second is the left side above the girdle of the man. The other two are also the right and the left sides below the girdle. In the onset, precisely observe the openings with which he uncovers himself against you. Artfully target the same without danger with the shooting-in of the long point and with following-after, and also with the winding upon the sword, and otherwise with all techniques, and do not pay attention to how he bares against you with his techniques.

[24] The four openings. 36 Learn four openings,  aim to strike these with safety, 37 without any risk,  without doubt about what he can do. Glosa. Here you will learn about people's four openings, against which you will always fence. The first opening is on the right sight, the second on the left side, above the man's belt. The other two are likewise on the right and left sides under the belt. Always pay attention to the openings in Zufechten. His openings you shall skillfully seek without danger: with thrusts with the the outstretched point, with travelling after and with all other techniques. And do not pay heed to what he tries to do with his techniques against you, but fence with belief and throw strikes that are excellent and that do not allow him to come at you with his own techniques.	[24]  These are the four openings you should aim at in combat. The first opening is the right side, the second opening is the left side above the belt. The other openings are the right and left side below the belt. Already pay attention to the openings when you are closing in, aim at the ones he (your adversary) exposes. Thrust with the "long point" (Langer Ort), use the "traveling after" (Nachreissen) and all other opportunities. Don’t pay attention to what he’s up to, fence securely and you’ll hit so outstandingly, that he’ll not be able to get through with his own techniques.

	[25] The text and the gloss about the doubling and about the mutating. How they break the four openings. 38 If you wish estimate for yourself how  To artfully break the four openings 39 Double above  Mutate right below 40 I say to you truthfully  No one defends themselves without danger 41 If you have properly understood this,  They can scarcely come to blows, etc. Gloss. This is for when you wish to set yourself up against the opponent in such a way that you will break the four openings with art. Conduct the doubling to the upper openings against the strong of their sword and the mutating to the other openings. For I say to you truthfully, that they cannot defend themselves from that and can neither come to strikes nor to thrusts.	[25] The text and the gloss about the doubling and about the mutating: how they break the four openings. 38 If you wish to reckon yourself,  Artfully break the four openings: 39 Double above,  Mutate right below. 40 I say to you truthfully:  No master defends themselves without danger. 41 If you have understood this properly,  He may hardly come to blows. Gloss. This is when you wish to reckon yourself upon another such that you wish to break the four openings with art: so conduct the doubling to the upper openings against the strong of his sword, and the mutating to the other opening. Thus I say to you truthfully that he cannot defend himself from that, and may neither come to strikes nor to thrusts.	[25] Explanation of doubling and mutating: how these break the four openings. 38 If you would like to find revenge,  skillfully break up the four openings: 39 double over,  mutate below correctly. 40 Certainly I say this:  no master defends himself without risk. 41 If you have understood this,  he can hardly come to blows. Glosa. When you would like to skillfully break up the four openings for him, use the doubling against the upper openings and the mutating against the other openings. Certainly I say to you that he cannot defend himself against this, and can succeed with neither cut nor thrust.	[25] Mutieren and Duplieren against the four openings: If you want to break one of the four openings by force, then "Dupliere" at the upper opening, against the Starke (strong) of his sword, and then "Mutiere" to another opening. Against this, he cannot defend himself and he will not be able to either strike or thrust.

	[26] The doubling Another. When you cut in from above with the wrath cut or otherwise, if the opponent parries you with strength, then 'Indes' shove your sword's pommel under your right arm with your left hand and against their sword with crossed hands, strike the opponent across their mouth from behind their sword's blade between the sword and the opponent or else strike them on their head with this play.	[26] The doubling Item. Note, when you cleave-in with the wrath-hew (or otherwise high), if he displaces you with strength, then in-the-moment shove your sword's pommel under your right arm with the left hand, and strike him through the maw, with crossed hands, upon the sword behind his sword's blade (between the sword and the man); or strike him with the play upon the head.	[26] Doubling When you cut in with a Zornhau or another Oberhau and he defends himself strongly, so "Instantly" thrust your pommel in under your right arm with your left hand, and cut him in the bind over the face with crossed hands, between the sword and the man. Or cut him with the sword in the head.	[26] Duplieren: When you strike a strike of wrath (Zornhau) or any other Oberhau and he displaces it with strength, with the left hand, immediately thrust the pommel of your sword under your right arm. With crossed hands, behind his blade and in between the blade and his body, strike him diagonally through the face. Or strike him on the head.

	[27] Note the mutating Conduct the mutating like this: When you bind them against their sword with a descending cut or otherwise, then wind the short edge against their sword and rise sufficiently up with your arms and hang your sword's blade over their sword to the outside and thrust to their lower opening. This works on both sides.	[27] Note the mutating Deploy the mutating thusly: When you bind him with the over-hew (or otherwise on the sword), then wind the short edge upon his sword and drive well up with the arms, and wind your sword's blade outside above his sword and thrust him to the low openings, and this conducts to both sides.	[27] Mutating When you bind against his sword with an Oberhau or something similar, so wind the short edge against his sword and go up in an orderly fashion with the arms; and hang your sword blade over his sword on the outside and thrust into him through the lower openings. This can be done on both sides.	[27] Mutieren: If you bind against his sword, with an Oberhau or otherwise, wind the short edge at his sword, raise your arms and thrust at the lower opening from the outside along his blade. You can use that from both sides.		Mörck daß mutiern [24v] Daß mutiern treÿb also.

	[28] The crooked cut with its plays 42 Crook up swiftly  Throw the point onto the hands Gloss. This is how you shall cut crooked to the hands and conduct the play like this: When the opponent cuts at an opening from your right side with either rising or descending cuts, spring away from their cut with your right foot, all the way to their left side, facing them and strike them with crossed arms with the point upon the hands. And also conduct this play against them when they stand against you in the guard of the ox.	[28] The crooked-hew with its plays 42 Crook on swiftly,  Throw the point upon the hands. Gloss. This is how you shall hew crooked to the hands, and conduct the play thusly: When he hews from your right side to the opening with over- or under-hews, spring away from the hew with the right foot against him well to his left side, and strike him with crossed arms with the point upon his hands. And also conduct this play against him when he stands against you in the guard of the oxen.	[28] Do the Krumphau (crooked strike) with these techniques. 42 Strike the Krumphau deftly,  cast the point towards the hands. Glosa. This is how you shall strike the Krumphau against the hands. When he cuts from his right side against an opening with an Oberhau or Underhau, take a spring away from the strike with your right foot, far out to his left side; and cut with crossed arms with the point to the hands. And even try this technique against him when he stands against you in the Ox guard.	[28]  The "Krumphau": This is how you should strike the Krumphau at the hands. When he attacks you from his right side with an Oberhau or Unterhau, jump out of the strike with your right foot towards his left side and with crossed hands strike against his hands using the point.

	[29] Yet another play from the crooked cut 43 Crook. Whoever fully commits  Disrupts many cuts with stepping. Gloss. This is how you shall displace the descending cut with the crooked cut. Conduct the play like this: When the opponent cuts in from above from their right side to the opening, step to their left side with your right foot and fall across their sword in the barrier guard with your point to the ground. Conduct this on both sides. You can also strike them on the head from the displacement.	[29] Again a play from the crooked-hew 43 Crook whoever sets well  With stepping, he sunders many hews. Gloss. This is how you shall offset the over-hew with the crooked-hew; conduct the play thusly: When he cleaves-in above from his right side to the opening, so step with the right foot to his left side [and fall] over his sword, with the point upon the earth in the barrier-guard. Deploy this to both sides. You may also strike him to the head from the setting-aside.	[29] Another technique from the Krumphau. 43 He who uses the Krumphau well  with a step, he is able to defend against cuts. Glosa. This is how you shall set aside all Oberhau attacks with the Krumphau. When he cuts in from above against your openings from his right side, step with your right foot out to his left side and throw your blade across his sword with the point to the ground in the Barrier guard. Test this on both sides. And from this setting aside you can cut him in the head.	[29]  This is how you can Absetzen ("set aside") the cuts from above with the Krumphau: If he attacks you from his right side with an Oberhau, step towards his left side with your right foot and put your point in the Schrankhut. Practice this from both sides. From the setting aside you can strike him on the head.

	[30] Yet another play from the crooked cut. 44 Hew crooked to the flats of  The masters if you wish to weaken them. Gloss. This is for when you wish to weaken a master. Conduct the play like this: When the opponent cuts in from their right side, cut crooked against their cut atop their sword with crossed hands.	[30] Again a play from the crooked-hew 44 Hew crooked to the flats of  The masters if you wish to weaken them. Gloss. This is when you wish to weaken a master, so conduct the play thusly: When he cleaves-in from his right side, so hew crooked with crossed hands against his hew onto his sword.	[30] Another technique from the Krumphau. 44 Cut crookedly against the flat side  of the masters, if you want to weaken them. Glosa. When you want to weak a master, use this technique: when he cuts in against you from above from his right side, strike crookedly with crossed hands against his cut above the sword.	[30]  If you want to weaken a master, then while he strikes an Oberhau from his right side strike a Krumphau with crossed hands against his sword.

	[31] Yet another play from the crooked cut 45 When it sparks above  So stand aside, that I will laud. Gloss. This is for when you cut atop the opponent's sword with the crooked cut, strike immediately back up from their sword with your short edge or wind the short edge against their sword during the crooked cut and thrust into their breast.	[31] Again a play from the crooked-hew 45 When it sparks above  So stand aside, that I will laud. Gloss. This is when you hew onto his sword with the crooked-hew: so strike-in again quickly with the short edge up-over from the sword to his head, or with the crooked-hew wind the short edge upon his sword and thrust him to the chest.	[31] Another technique from the Krumphau. 45 When it comes from above  stand back, this I shall praise. Glosa. When you cut a Krumphau onto his sword, so cut immediately back up from the sword with the short edge, in and down from above onto his head. Or wind the Krumphau with the short edge against his sword and thrust into his breast.	[31]  When you strike him with the Krumphau against his sword, from the sword immediately strike upwards against his head with the short edge. Or after the Krumphau wind the short edge at his sword and thrust him into the breast.

	[32] Yet another play from the crooked cut 46 Don't crook, cut short  Disengage and with that expose them Gloss. This is for when the opponent wishes to cut in from above from their right shoulder. So you act as if you will bind against their sword with the crooked cut and shorten and pass through under their sword with your point and wind your hilt over your head to your right side and thrust into their face.	[32] Again a play from the crooked-hew 46 Do not crooked[-hew]; short-hew,  With that seek the changing-through. Gloss. This is when he wishes to cleave-in above from his right shoulder: so you act as if you will bind onto his sword with the crooked-hew, and [then] short-hew and drive-through under his sword with the point, and wind your hilt to your right side above your head and thrust him to the face (as stands pictured here), and this play breaks it.	[32] Another technique from the Krumphau. 46 Do not Krump, cut short,  then see changing-through. Glosa. When he wants to cut in from his right shoulder, pretend that you want to bind against his sword with a Krumphau. Cut short; and go through with the point under his sword and wind your hilt to your right side over your head, and stab him in the face.	[32]  When he strikes an Oberhau from his right shoulder, pretend as if you are going to bind against his sword with a Krumphau. But let your strike fall short, lead your point trough under his sword and wind your hilt over your head and to your right side. Then thrust him in the face.

	[33]	[33] Again a break against the crooked-hew Note, when you shoot-in the point under his sword into his chest (as written before and stands pictured), if he then presses your sword downwards to the earth with the crooked-hew, then wind against your right side and drive well up over your head with the arms, and set the point above onto his chest (as is pictured hereafter). If he displaces that, then remain standing thusly with the hilt before the head and work swiftly with the point from one opening to the other. This is called the noble war. With that, you confound him so completely that he does not know where he shall remain before you.

	[34] Note how one shall break the crooked cut. 47 Whoever foils you crooked,  The noble war confounds them 48 That they do not truthfully knows  Where they are without danger. Gloss. This is for when you initiate a cut from your right side, from above or below. Then if the opponent cuts crooked onto your sword also from their right side with crossed arms and displaces your cut with it, then remain with the your sword strongly against theirs and shoot the point in long into their breast under their sword.	[34] Note how one shall break the crooked-hew 47 Whoever foils you crooked,  The noble war confounds them 48 That they do not truthfully know  Where they are without danger. Gloss. This is when you begin to hew him from your right side, above or below: if he then also hews crooked onto your sword from his right side with crossed arms, and with that deflects your hew, so remain with the your sword strongly upon his and shoot-in the point long under his sword to the chest.	[34] How one should counter the Krumphau. 47 Krumps that foil you;  the Noble War confuses him, 48 so that he truthfully  does not know where he shall be without danger. Glosa. When you cut against him from above or from below, from your right side; if he also cuts crookedly from him right side with crossed arms to your sword and thus foils your strike, so bind strongly with your sword. And shoot your point against his breast under the long edge of his sword.	[34]  This is how you can break the Krumphau: If you attack him from your right side with an Oberhau and he displaces this with a Krumphau with crossed hands from his right side, then strongly hold your sword against his. And "shoot" (thrust) the point at his breast with your arms extended.

	[35] Another break for the crooked cut Note. When you cut in from above from your right side, then if the opponent cuts crooked with crossed arms atop your sword from their right side as well and with that presses you down to the ground, then wind towards your right side and rise all the way up over your head with your arms and set your point against their breast from above. Gloss. If they parry this, then remain standing as are you are with your hilt in front of your head and work swiftly with your point from one opening to the other. This is called the noble war. With it you confound the opponent so completely that they do not know where they shall keep away from you with certainty.	[35] Another break above the crooked-hew Note when you cleave-in above from your right side, if he also then comes upon your sword from his right side with crossed arms, and with that presses that downwards against the earth, then wind against your right side and drive well up over your head with the arms, and set your point above onto his chest. If he displaces that, then remain standing thusly with the hilt before your head and work swiftly with the point from one opening to the other. This is called the noble war. With that, you confound him so completely that he does not know where he shall remain before you with certainty.	[35] Another counter against the Krumphau. When you cut in against him from above from your right side and he also cuts crookedly from his right side with crossed arms onto your sword and thus presses it down towards the ground, wind towards your right side; go with your arms up over your head. And thrust with your point from above against his breast. If he defends himself against this, stand with your hilt in front of your head, and work deftly with the point from one opening to the other, this is called "the Noble War." With this you will confuse him so totally that truthfully he will not know where he will find himself.	[35]  Another defense against the Krumphau: If you attack him from your right side with an Oberhau and he displaces (Versatzung) this with a Krumphau with crossed hands from his right side and if he pushes your sword to the ground, then wind towards your right side, raise your arms over your head and thrust at his breast from above. If he displaces that, stand as you are, with the hilt in front of your head and nimbly work with the point from one opening to the other. This is called the "noble war" and with this you’ll confuse him so much, that he will not know how to defend himself against your attacks.

	[36] The crosswise cut with its plays 49 The cross seizes  Whatever arrives from the roof Gloss. Note the crosswise cut breaks all cuts that will have been hewn from above down. Conduct the cut like this: When the opponent cuts in at your head from above, spring away from their cut to their left side with your right foot, facing them and in your springing turn your sword forwards with the hilt high in front of your head such that your thumb comes under and strike them with the short edge to their left side such that you catch their cut in your hilt and hit them in the head.	[36] The thwart-hew with its plays 49 The thwart takes away  Whatever approaches from-the-roof. Gloss. Note, the thwart-hew breaks all hews which are hewn from above down; conduct the hew thusly: Stand with the left foot forwards and hold your sword on your right shoulder, and when he cleaves-in [an] over[-hew] to your head, so spring well with the right foot against him from the hew to his left side, and in the springing turn your sword with the hilt high in front of your head, such that your thumb comes under, and strike him with the short edge to his left side such that you catch his hew in your hilt, and hit him in the head (as is pictured here).	[36] Do the Zwerchau (crosswise strike) with these techniques. 49 The Zwerchau takes away  that which comes from above. Glosa. The Zwerchau counters all strikes that cut down from above. When he cuts in from above against your head, spring with the right foot against him away from the cut, out to his left side. And as you spring turn your sword—with the hilt high in front of your head, so that your thumb comes under—and cut him with the short edge against his left side. So you catch his strike with your hilt and strike him in the head.	[36] The Zwerchhau The Zwerchhau counters all downward strikes made from above. Do it like this: If he strikes an Oberhau at your head, "jump" (make a large, explosive step) to his left side with your right foot, while you jump, turn your sword, so that your hilt is high in front of your head and your thumb is down (on the flat of the blade) and strike at his left side with your short edge. So you catch his strike with your hilt and hit him simultaneously on the head.

	[37] A play from the crosswise cut 50 Cross with the strong  With that note the work Gloss. This is how you shall work from the crosswise cut using the strong and do it like this: When you initiate a cut using the crosswise cut, remember that you wind against the strong of their sword with yours. then if the opponent holds it strongly at bay, then from against their sword strike them on their head with crossed arms from behind their sword's edge as is made here or slice them across their mouth with this play.	[37] A play from the thwart-hew 50 Thwart with the strong  With that note the work. Gloss. This is how you shall work with the strong from the thwart, and do it thusly: When you begin to hew him with the thwart, so remember that you wind strongly with the strong of your sword upon his. If he then holds strong against, so strike to the head with crossed arms, upon the sword behind his sword's edge (as is done here), or cut him with the play through the maw.	[37] A technique from the Zwerchau. 50 Zwerch with the "strong";  mark well your work with this. Glosa. This is how you shall work with the "strong" from the Zwerchau. When you cut against him with the Zwerchau, think that you shall strike powerfully with the sword's "strong" against his. Hold him thus strongly in the bind then cut with crossed arms behind his sword blade, from above against the head, or cut him with the sword to the face.	[37]  This is how you can work with the stark (strong) from the Zwerch: If you strike with the Zwerch, pay attention to strike strongly with the strong of your sword against his blade. If he strongly holds against it, strike him - at the sword - on the head behind his blade with your hands crossed. Or cut him trough the face.

When you bind against their sword with the strong of your sword from the crosswise cut, then if the opponent holds it strongly at bay,, then shove their sword away from you, down to your right side using your hilt and immediately strike back around with the crosswise cut at their head to their right side.	[38] Again a play from the thwart-hew Note, when you bind out of the thwart with the strong of your sword upon his sword, if he then holds strongly against [it], so shove his sword from you downward to your right side with your hilt (as is pictured here), and strike back-around quickly with the thwart against his right side to his head.	[38] Another technique from the Zwerchau. When you bind against his sword from the Zwerchau with your sword's "Strong"; hold him strongly, then push his sword away from you with your hilt, down and out to your right side, and strike immediately round with the Zwerchau against his right side, against the head.	[38]  When you bind at his sword with the strong of your sword with the Zwerch and he strongly holds against it, push down his sword to your right side with your hilt. And immediately strike again with the Zwerch to the right side of his head.		aber ain stuck vß dem zwerhaw° Merck we~ du Im vß der zwer mit der stoerck deines schwerts an sin Schwert bindest helt den er starck wÿder So stoss mit deine~ gehülcz sin schwert võ dir vnderisch vff dein rechte~ sytte~ vnd schlach bald mit der zwer wyderu~ gen siner rechte~ syten Im zu° dem kopffe ~			Aber ein stuck auf dem Twerhaw.

When you bind onto his sword with the thwart, if he is then Soft upon the sword, so lay the short edge to his right side upon the neck, and spring with the right foot behind his left, and back him over that with the sword.	[39] Another technique from the Zwerchau. When you bind against his sword with the Zwerchau, if he is weak in the bind, so lay the short edge against the right side of his neck and spring with the right foot behind his left; and pull him over it with the sword.	[39]  If you bind against his sword with the Zwerch and he is "soft" at the sword, place the short edge at the right side of his neck, jump behind his left foot with your right foot and tear him over with the sword.

This is how you shall strike against the four openings with the Zwerchau when you go against someone. When you come against him in Zufechten; when it becomes suitable for you, spring against him and cut with the Zwerchau against the lower opening on his left side. This is called "to strike against the plough".	[44]  This is how you can strike to the four openings with the Zwerch: When you close in with your adversary with the "Zufechten", at the right moment, jump towards him and strike with the Zwerch to the lower opening of his left side.

	[45] Yet another play from the crosswise cut When you have struck to the lower opening with the crosswise cut, immediately strike up to the other side at their head in from above using the crosswise cut. This is called striking to the ox and then swiftly strike further, again and again one cross strike to the ox and the another to the plow crosswise from one side to the other and with this make a descending cut in from above at their head and with that withdraw yourself.	[45] Again a play from the thwart-hew Note, when you have struck with the thwart to the lower opening (as stands pictured before next to this), so quickly strike up above with the thwart to the other side to his head. This is called "striking to the oxen". And then furthermore swiftly strike a thwart-strike to the oxen and the another to the plow crosswise from one side to the other, and with that cleave-in an over-hew above to the head, and with that withdraw yourself.	[45] Another technique from the Zwerchau. When you have cut against the lower opening with the Zwerchau, so strike immediately with the Zwerchau against the other side upwards into the head. This is called "to strike against the ox". And continue to strike quickly a Zwerchau against the ochs and another against the plough, crosswise from one side to the other. And cut him after with an Oberhau in against the head and thus draw yourself back from him.	[45]  When you have attacked the lower opening with the Zwerch, immediately strike another Zwerch to the other side, at his head. This is called "striking towards the ox" ("zum Ochsen schlagen"). And then strike swiftly alternating the Zwerch towards the plow and the ox, crosswise from one side to the other. Then you can disengage from him with an Oberhau to the head.

	[46]  52 Whoever crosses themselves well  Threatens the head by springing. Gloss. This is so that you are to spring sufficiently to the side of the opponent with each and every cross strike so that if you wish to strike them, you can fully connect with their head and be aware that in your springing, you are to be fully covered up above with your hilt in front of your head.	[46] This is the text and a teaching thereof 52 Whoever thwarts themselves well  With springing threatens the head. Gloss. This is how you shall properly spring-out to the side of him with each and every thwart-strike, so that if you wish to strike him you may hit well to his head, and be aware that you are fully covered above in the spring with your hilt in front of your head.	[46]  52 He who Zwerches well with a spring, threatens the head. Glosa. That is to say, that in all of your Zwerchau strikes you shall take a proper spring out to the side where you want to strike him. So you can strike him well in the head. And see to it in the spring that you are properly protected from above with your hilt above and in front of your head.	[46]  When you strike the Zwerch, you shall always jump to his flank, namely towards the side on which you want to hit him. So you can hit his head. And pay attention that you cover the front of your head with the hilt while jumping.

	[47] This is the text and the gloss of yet another play from the crosswise cut and is called the failer. 53 Whoever credibly executes the failer  They wound according to desire from below Gloss. Note all fencers that like to parry will be mislead and struck by the failer. Conduct the play like this: When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, act as if you will strike at their head with a free crosswise cut on their left side and snatch your sword away during the cut and strike to the lower opening of their right side using the crosswise cut, as is pictured just after to this. In this way the opponent is triggered and struck below according to desire.	[47] This is the text and the gloss of yet another play from the thwart-hew, and is called the failer 53 Whoever directs the failer well  From below, he hits according to desire. Gloss. Note, this is with the failer all fencers who willingly displace become mislead and struck. Deploy the play thusly: When you come to him with the onset, so act as if you will strike with a free over-hew to his left side to the head, and steal-away your sword with the hew and strike him with the thwart to the lower opening of his right side or left (as stands pictured hereafter next to this). Thus is he contacted and struck below according to [your] desire.	[47] A further technique from the Zwerchau, and it is called the feint (Feler). 53 He who does a good feint,  strikes from below how he wishes. Glosa. With the feint all fencers who quickly leap to the defence are mislead and defeated. When you come against him in Zufechten, pretend that you want to cut him with perhaps an Oberhau to his left side. In this manner you can strike him underneath however you want and defeat him.	[47] The "Fault" (Feint): All fencers who rely on displacing are deceived and defeated with the fault. When you close with him, feint any Oberhau to his left side. From there (when he wants to displace it) you can easily hit another opening.

	[48] Yet another play from the crosswise cut and this is called the inverter 54 The inverter constrains.  The one who slips across also wrestles with it. 55 Take the elbow surely  Spring into their stance. Gloss. Note you shall conduct this play like so: When you bind against the opponent's sword with a rising or descending cut, invert your sword such that your thumb comes under and thrust at their face from above. In this way, you constrain them such that they must parry and in their act of parrying, seize their right elbow with your left hand and spring in front of their right foot with your left and shove them over it. Or rush through using the inverter and wrestle as you will find hereafter in the slipping through.	[48] This is the text and the gloss of yet another play from the thwart-hew, and this is called the inverter 54 The Inverter overwhelms,  Running-through with wrestling as well; 55 The elbow wisely take  Spring to him in the scales. Gloss. Note, you shall also conduct the play when you bind on his sword with an under- or over-hew. So invert your sword such that your thumb comes-under and thrust him above to the face. So you overwhelm him such that he must displace, and in the displacement, seize his right elbow with your left hand and spring with the left foot in front of his right, and shove him over (as stands pictured hereafter next to this). Or run-through with the inverter and wrestle, as you will find written hereafter	[48] Another technique from the Zwerchau, and it is called the turner (Verkehrer). 54 The turner subdues,  runs through and grapples. 55 Take the elbow certainly,  spring against him in the movement. Glosa. When you bind against his sword with an Oberhau or Underhau, turn your sword so that your thumb comes underneath, and thrust him down from above into the face. In this way you force him to defend himself. And in the defence, grip his right elbow with your left hand and spring with your left foot in front of his right, and stab him over it. Or use the turner to rush through and grapple, in the same way that you will be told for running through.	[48] The "Verkehrer": If you bind at your adversaries sword with an Oberhau or an Unterhau, turn your sword so that your thumb is down and thrust to his face from above. So you force him to displace the thrust. While he displaces, grab his right elbow with your left hand, place your left leg in front of his right leg and toss him over.		aber ain stuck vsß dem zwerhaw° vnd daß haÿsst der verkerer ~~ Verkerer zwinget durch laeffe~ au~ch mit ringet den elenbogen gewisse nÿm spring Im In die wage Glosa Merck das stu~ck soltü also trÿbere~ wen dü In mit aine~ vnde~ oder oben haw an sin schwert bindest So verker dein schwert das din dou~me vnde kome vnd stich Im obe~ In zu° de~ gesichte So zwingstu In das er dir versetze~ mu°ß Vnd In der verseczung begriff mit de~ lincken hand sin rechte~ eleboge~ vnd spring mit dem lincken fu°sse für sine~ rechte~ vnd stosß In also dariber / Oder lauff In mit dem verkerrer durch vnd ringe / alß dü In dem durch lauffen her nach wirst finde~	[04r] Das ist der text vnd die glos aber ains stucks aus dem twerhaw das haist der verkerer / Verkerere zwinget durch lauffer auch mit ringet / den elpogen / gewis nÿm spring im in die wage~ / Glosa / Merck das stuck solt du treiben also / Wen du im mit ainem vndter oder ober haw an sein schwert pindest / so verker dein schwert das dein dawm vndten kum vnd stich im oben ein zu dem gesicht / So zwingst du in das er dir versetzn mu°ß / vnd in der versatzung Begreiff mit der lincken hand sein rechten elpogen / vnd spring mit dem lincken / fues fu~r sein rechten / vnd stos in also daru~ber / als am nãchsten da hernach gemalt stet / oder lauff im mit dem verkerer durch vnd ring / als du in dem durchlauffen hernach geschriben wirst vinden /
	[49] Yet another play from the failer 56 Double the failer  If they make contact, make the slice with it Gloss. Note this is called the double failer. For the reason that one shall conduct a double misdirection in one sortie. Conduct the first like this: When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, spring toward them with your right foot and act as if you will strike at their head with a cross strike to their left side and snatch your strike away hitting their head on their right side.	[49] This is the text and the gloss of a failer 56 Fail twice;  If one hits then make the cut with [it]. Gloss. Note, this is called the double failer for the reason that one shall conduct a double misleading in one onset. Deploy the first thusly: When you come to him with the onset, so spring with the right foot against him and act as if you will strike with a thwart-strike to his left side to his head, and [then] steal-away the strike and strike in to his right side onto his head (as stands pictured hereafter next to this).	[49] Another technique from the feint. 56 Feint twofold,  strike him, thus do the cut. Glosa. This is called the double feint, because in the Zufechten you shall be misleading two times. Do the first like this: when you come against him in Zufechten, take a spring with the foot against him and pretend that you will cut with a Zwerchau against the left side of his head. And change the direction of the cut, to the right side of his head.	[49] The Double Feint: Here, you must deceive him twice while closing in. When you come close to him with the Zuefechten, jump towards him with the left foot and feint a Zwerch to the left side of the head. But then turn the blow over and strike to the right side of his head.

	[50] Yet another play from the failer 57 Double further  Step in left and do not be lazy Gloss. This is for when you have struck at the opponent's head on their right side with your first misdirection as was just pictured. Then take the slice into their arms from below and immediately strike back around to the right side of their head and with that from crossed arms pass over their sword with the short edge and spring left, that is to your left side and slice them with the long edge through the jaw.	[50] This is the text and the gloss of yet another play from the failer 57 Double it further;  Stride-in left and be not lazy. Gloss. This is when you have struck the first misleading to his right side to his head (as stands pictured before next to this): so with that take the cut under his arms and strike quickly back-around to the left side to his head, and drive over his sword with the short edge from crossed arms, and spring left (that is, to your left side), and cut him with the long edge through the maw (as is there pictured).	[50] Another technique from the feint. 57 Continue doubly with this,  step to the left and do not be slow. Glosa. That is to say, when you have struck to the right side of his head with the first misleading—about which has just been written—so strike immediately round to the other side of the head, and go with the short edge with outstretched crossed arms over his sword: and "Imlincke", that is to say on the left side, and cut in with the long edge over the face.	[50]  If you have attacked him on the right side of the head as described, strike immediately at the same spot. Then go over his sword with the short edge and your hands not crossed, jump to your left side and cut through his face with the long edge.

	[51] The cockeyed cut with its plays 58 The cockeyed cut breaks inside  Whatever the buffalo strikes or thrusts 59 Whoever threatens to change,  The cockeyed cut robs them of it. Gloss. Note here that the cockeyed cut is a cut that intrudes into the cuts and thrusts of a buffalo, which acquire dominance with power. Conduct the cut like this: When the opponent cuts in from above from their right side, then you also cut from your right against their cut with upright arms using the short edge into the weak of their sword and strike them on their right shoulder, in this way you strike and parry as one and hit them during the cut. If they disengage, shoot long into their breast during the cut and cut in this way when they stand against you in the guard of the plow or when they will thrust at you from below.	[51] This is the text and the gloss of the squint-hew and of the plays: How a man shall conduct them 58 The Squinter breaks-in  Whatever the buffalo strikes or thrusts. 59 Whoever threatens to change,  The squinter robs him of it. Gloss. Note here that the squinter is a hew which breaks-in the hews and thrusts of the buffalo ([one] who acquires victory with power), and conduct the hew thusly: When he cleaves-in above from his right side, so hew from your right against his hew into the weak of his sword, with the short edge [and] with upright arms, and strike him upon his right shoulder; so you strike and displace with each other and hit him with the hew (as stands pictured hereafter next to this). If he changes-through, shoot with the hew long into his chest and also hew when he stands against you in the guard of the plow or when he will thrust you from below.	[51] Do the Schielhau (squinting strike) with these techniques. 58 The Schielhau counters  that which a buffalo cuts or thrusts. 59 That which threatens with changing  is robbed by the Schielhau. Glosa. The Schielhau is a strike which counters cuts and thrusts from the buffalos—those who take their mastery through violent strength. Do the strike like this: when he cuts in against you from his right side, you should also cut from your right side with the short edge with the arms outstretched against his cut, against the "weak" of his sword and cut him on his right shoulder. If he changes through, shoot in with the cut, long edge against the breast. And you can also strike this, when he stands against you in the Plough guard [Pflug] or when he wants to thrust into you from below.	[51] The "Squinter": The Squinter is a strike which primarily "breaks" the strikes and thrusts of those fencers, who rely only on their strength. Do it like this: If he attacks you from his right side, strike from your right side with the short edge and extended arms against the weak of his sword and hit him on the right shoulder. If he changes through, thrust him into his breast with your arms extended. You should strike like this, too, if he faces you in the guard of the plough or if wants to thrust you from below.

	[52] Yet another play from the cockeyed cut 60 Cock an eye, If they short change you,  Disengaging defeats them Gloss. Note this is a lesson for when you shall cock an eye slyly and quite precisely see whether the opponent fences short against you. You shall recognize it by this: When the opponent initiates a cut and their arms do not extend long with their cut, cut as well and in the cut pass through below their sword with your point and wind your hilt over your head to your right side and stab them in the face as is pictured just below.	[52] This is the text and the gloss of yet another play from the squinter 60 Squint if he shortens upon you  Changing-through defeats him. Gloss. Note, this is a lesson that you shall squint with the visage and quite precisely see whether he fences short against you, because with that, [you] shall recognize when he begins to hew you and his arms do not extend long with the hew. So hew as well, and in the hew drive-through with the point under his sword, and wind your hilt to your right side above your head, and thrust him to the face (as stands pictured next to this).	[52] Another technique from the Schielhau. 60 Strike the Schielhau when he closes with you,  change through, against his face. Glosa. This is a lesson: you shall search with the look and notice carefully, if he fights close to you. This you shall mark when he cuts against you and his arm does not stretch out in the cut, so you will strike too. And in the strike go with the point under his blade to the other side, and thrust in against the face.	[52]  Note: You should always deceive him with your line of vision. Pay attention, if he fights short (feints). You will know this when he does not extend his arms when striking. You should strike then, too, move your point trough under his sword and thrust him into the face.

	[53] Another. All fencers, which fence short, be it from the ox or from the plow, and with all windings in front of the opponent, freely disengage them from both your cuts and from your thrusts with the long point. With this you secure them against your sword such that they must allow you to come to work and to strike them.	[53] Item. All fencers, they who fence short from the oxen, from the plow, and with all windings before the opponent: freely change-through [against] them out of hews and out of thrusts with the long-point.

	[54] Yet another play from the cockeyed cut 61 Squint to the point  And take the neck without fear. Gloss. Note the cockeyed cut breaks the long point and conduct it like this: When the opponent stands against you and holds their point against your face or breast from extended arms, stand with your left foot forward and with your face, cock an eye slyly at their point and act as if you wish to cut to their point and cut strongly upon their sword with the short edge and with that shoot the point long to their neck with an advance of the right foot.	[54] This is the text and the gloss of yet another play from the squint-hew 61 Squint to the point  And take the neck without fear. Gloss. Note, the squinter breaks the long-point with a deceit of the visage and conduct it thusly: When he stands against you and holds the point against the face or against the chest from extended arms, so stand with the left foot forward and squint with the visage to his point, and act as if you wish to hew to his point, and hew strongly onto his sword with the short edge, and with that, shoot the point long to his neck with a tread-in of the right foot (as stands pictured hereafter next to this).	[54] Another technique from the Schielhau. 61 Search with the point  and take his neck without fear. Glosa. Mark well; to strike the Schielhau breaks the long point; and then do this: when he stands against you and holds the point with outstretched arms towards the face or chest, so stand with the left foot forward and search with the gaze against the point, and pretend as if you want to strike against the point; and strike powerfully with the short edge above his sword, and thrust with the point along with the blade against the neck with a step towards him with the right foot.	[54] Note: The Squinter breaks the "long point" and this is done as follows: When he faces you and points his point against your breast or face with extended arms, place your left foot forward and look at his point. Feint a strike against his point, strike strongly against his sword with the short edge and "shoot" (thrust) , with a forward step with the right foot, your point against his throat, with your arms extended.

	[55] Yet another play from the cockeyed cut 62 Squint to the top of the  Head if you wish to ruin the hands. Gloss. Note when the opponent wishes to cut in from above, cock an eye slyly with your face as if you wish to strike their head and cut against their cut with your short edge and strike them upon their hands from against their sword's blade with your point.	[55] This is the text and the gloss of yet another play from the squint-hew 62 Squint to the top of the  Head if you wish to ruin the hands. Gloss. Note, when he wishes to cleave-in to you a free over-hew from above, so squint with the visage to his head (as if you wish to strike thereon), and then hew with the short edge against his hew, and strike him upon his sword's blade, with the point down on the hands (as stands pictured hereafter next to this).	[55] Another technique from the Schielhau. 62 Search against the head above  if you want to damage the hands. Gloss. When he wants to cut in against you from above, so search with the gaze as if you want to hit him above the head.

	[56] This is the part cut with its plays 63 The part cut  Is a threat to the face Here note the part cut is a threat to both the face and to the breast. Conduct it like this: When the opponent stands against you in the guard of the fool, cut down from above, extended from the top of your head, with the long edge, and remain high with your arms during the cut and hang in at their face with your point.	[56] This is the text and the gloss about the parter, and about the plays thereof 63 The Parter  Is a danger to the face. Gloss. Here note the parter is really dangerous to the face and to the chest; conduct it thusly: When he stands against you in the guard [of] the fool, hew above with the long edge, down from your part to his head, and with the hew remain high with the arms and if he displaces, so hang-in to him with the point, with the long edge above his hilt, and thrust him to the face (as stands pictured hereafter next to this).	[56] Do the Scheitelhau (the parting strike) with these techniques. 63 The parter  is a danger for the face. The parter is dangerous for the face and the breast. When he stands against you in the fool's guard [Alber], cut with the long edge from the "long parting" from above and down; and keep the arms high in the cut, and hang with the point in against the face.	[56] The "Parting Strike" Note: the parting strike is aimed at the face or breast. Do it like this: If he is in the guard Alber, strike vertically downward with the long edge. And while striking, keep your arms up high and move your point to his face.

	[57] A play from the part cut 64 With their turn  Firmly threatens the breast. Gloss. This is for when you hang your point in at the opponent's face from above using the part cut. Then if the opponent firmly shoves you upward with their hilt in their act of parrying, spin your sword around high in front of your head using your hilt and set the point against their breast from below.	[57] Again a play from the parter 64 With its turn  The chest is quickly threatened. Gloss. Note, this is when you strike-in and hang the point to the face with the parter: if he then shoves the point firmly upward with his hilt in the displacement of the parter, invert your sword with the hilt high in front of your head (such that the thumb comes below), and set the point under his hands upon his chest (as stands pictured here).	[57] A technique from the parter. 64 With his turning,  very dangerous for the breast. Glosa. When you cut from above with the Scheitelhau and hang your point in his face, if he defends himself against your point by pushing it up and away with the hilt, then turn your sword with the hilt high in front of your head and stab him downwards into the chest.	[57]  If you move the point at his face from above with the parting strike and he displaces the point with the (his) hilt up, turn your sword, lift the (your) hilt high above your head and thrust him down into the breast.

	[58] How the crown breaks the part cut 65 Whatever comes from them,  The crown takes that away Gloss. Note when you cut in from above using the part cut, if the opponent parries high above their head with their hilt, this parrying is called the crown and they rush in on you with it.	[58] How the crown breaks the parter 65 Whatever comes from him,  The crown takes it away. Gloss. Note, when you cleave-in above with the parter: if he displaces with the hilt high over his head, this displacement is called the crown, and with it [he] runs-in to you.

When you cut in against him from above with the Scheitelhau, if he defends himself with the hilt over his head: this defence is called the Crown. And with that he can rush in close to you.	[58]  When you strike a parting strike and he displaces with the hilt high above his head, then this displacement is called "the crown". From there you can rush in.

	[59] How the slice breaks the crown. 66 Slice through the crown  So you break the hard beautifully 67 Press the thrust  Withdraw it with slicing. Gloss. Note when the opponent parries the part cut or otherwise another cut with the crown and uses that to rush in, take the slice under their hands into their arm and press firmly upwards, so that the crown is broken again and turn your sword from the lower slice into the upper slice and withdraw yourself with it.	[59] This is the text and the gloss: how the cut breaks the crown 66 Cut through the crown,  So you break the hard beautifully; 67 Press the strike,  Withdraw it with cutting. Gloss. Note, when he displaces the parter (or otherwise another hew) with the crown and with that runs in: so take the under-cut below his hands into his arm and press firmly upwards (as stands pictured next to this); so the crown is broken again, and wind your sword from the under-cut into the over-cut, and with that withdraw yourself.	[59] How the slice counters the Crown. 66 Slice through the Crown,  so you break this guard quickly. 67 Press with the sword,  with more slicing you draw backwards. Glosa. When he defends against the Scheitelhau or some other cut with the Crown and tries to rush in against you, pull the slice under his hands in his arm and press hard upwards, to break the Crown. And turn your sword from the under slice to the over slice, and thus draw back.	[59]  If he breaks the parting strike or any other Oberhau with the crown and tries to rush in, cut him in the Arm under his hands and push upward, so that the crown is broken. Then turn your sword from the low cut into a high one and free yourself in this way.

	[71] A play against an act of parrying 72 If you are parried  And however it has come to this 73 Hear what I advise  Wrench off, cut quickly with haste Gloss. This is for when you have been parried, however it has come to be. So note if someone parries your descending cut, then in that act of parrying, pass in front of their lead hand with your pommel and wrench downwards and during the wrenching, strike them upon the head with your sword.	[71] This is the text and the gloss of a play against the displacement 72 If you are parried,  And as it is arriving, 73 Hear what I advise:  Rip off. Cut quickly with hurry. Gloss. This is as it arrives that you are becoming parried: so note if one displaces an over-hew, go to him in the displacing with the pommel over his forward-placed hand, and with that wrench downwards, and with the wrenching strike him there on the head with the sword (as stands pictured hereafter next to this).	[71] A technique against the displacements. 72 If you are displaced  and if it comes to this, 73 hear what I advise:  go up, strike quickly and swiftly. Glosa. If it has happened that you have been displaced, mark this well: if one of your Oberhau attacks becomes displaced, so go into the displacement with the pommel over his forward hand and tear downwards with that; and cut in the tearing in with the sword from above against the head.	[71] A Technique against a Displacement: If a strike of yours has been displaced, note: if an Oberhau of yours is displaced, stay in the bind, move your pommel over his forward hand and tear it down; and strike him on the head simultaneously.	[31r] Item ob dir der ober haulb versetzt ist vnd nohent an in chümpt so far mit dem knoff vber sin versetzte hantt vnd rieß do mit vndersich vnd mit dem reissen schlag in do mit dem schwertt vff din kopff ~	[35v] Ain stuck wide~ die versäczu~g Ob dier versetzt ist / vnd wie das dar kome~ ist / hoere was ich rate / rays abe / haw schnel mit dratte Glosa das ist wie es dar zu° kome~ ist / das dir versetzt ist worde~ So mercke versetzt mã dir aine~ ober haw So var Im in der versaczu~g mit dem knopff vir sin vor gesetzte hand vnd rayse da mit vnder sich vnd mit dem raysse schlage In mit dem schwert vff den kopff ~~	[11r] Daz ist der text vnd die glos ains stucks wider die versatzung Ob dir versetzet ist / vnd wie das darkume~ ist · hõr was ich ratt / raiß ab haw schnell mit drat / Glosa / daz ist wie es darzu kumen ist / das dir versetzt ist worden / So merck / versetzt man dir ain ober haw / So far im in der versatzung mit dem knopf vber sein versetzte handt / vnd raiss damit vntersich / vnd mit dem reissen schlag in mit dem swert auff den kopf / als am nãchsten da hernach gemalt stett /		Das ist ein stuck wider das versetzenn.

	[72] Yet another play against an act of parrying Note when you execute a rising cut from the right side, then if the opponent falls upon it with their sword so that you cannot come up with yours, swiftly pass over their sword with your pommel and strike at their head with your long edge by snapping or if they fall upon your sword toward your left side, then strike them with the short edge.	[72] Yet another play against the displacement Item. Note, when you hew an under-hew from the right side: if he then falls with the sword onto yours so you cannot come up with it, swiftly drive over his sword with the pommel and wrench your blade from his [from] below and strike him with the snapping, with the long edge to the head (as stands pictured hereafter next to this); or, if he falls onto your sword against your left side, so strike him with the short edge.	[72] A technique against the displacements. When you strike an Underhau from the right side, if he drops with his sword on top of yours do that you cannot come up with it, so go swiftly with the pommel over his sword and cut with powerful movement with the long edge against the head. Or if he drops onto your sword towards your left side, so cut him with the short edge.	[72] A Second Technique against a Displacement: If you strike an Unterhau from the right side and he falls on your sword (i.e., he pushes it downwards), so that you cannot lift it up, move the pommel over his sword and, with a snapping motion, strike him on the head with the long edge. Or, if he falls on your sword on your left side, strike him with the short edge (Kurze Schneide).

	[73] Yet another play against parrying. 74 Lodge against four regions  Learn to remain upon them if you wish to finish Gloss. When you cut in from your right shoulder, if you wish to immediately finish with the opponent, then note when they parry, strike quickly around with the crosswise cut and grasp your sword in the middle of your blade with your left hand and set your point into their face or lodge against them at whichever of the four openings you can best get to.	[73] This is the text and the gloss of yet another play against the displacing 74 Set-upon four ends;  Learn to remain thereupon if you wish to finish. Gloss. This is when you cleave-in from your right shoulder: if you wish to quickly finish with him, so note when he displaces [and] strike quickly around with the thwart, and with the strike grasp your sword in the middle of the blade with the left hand, and set the point into the face (as stands pictured next), or set-upon him to the four openings to whichever you can best come.	[73] A technique against the displacements. 74 Attack four ends,  therefore stop him, if you want to learn to finish. Glosa. When you strike in against him from above from your right shoulder and want to end him quickly, mark this: when he displaces, immediately strike round with the Zwerchau. And grip your sword with your left hand in the middle of the blade, and thrust with the point into his face. Or attack him against the four openings, whichever you can come at best.	[73] A Third Technique against a Displacement: If you strike an Oberhau from the right and if you want to end the fight, then note: when he displaces, immediately strike around (i.e., to the other side) with the Zwerchhau.

	[74] Yet another play against parrying Item. Another. When you set the point into the opponent's face with the half-sword, if they parry that, jab them in their head with your pommel on their other side or spring behind their left foot with your right and pass around the front of their neck with your pommel to over their right shoulder and drag them over your right leg with it.	[74] This is the text and the gloss of yet another play against the displacement Item. Note, when you set the point into his face with the half-sword (as stands done before next to this): if he displaces that, jab him with the pommel to the other side to his head, or spring with the right foot behind his left and with the pommel drive around his neck, over his right shoulder, [and] around the front of the neck, and with that, back him over your right leg (as stands pictured hereafter next to this).	[74] A technique against the displacements. When you set the point to his face with the halfswording and he displaces this, so strike him with the pommel to the other side of his head.

	[75] About pursuing 75 Learn to pursue  Double or slice into the weapon Gloss. This is so that you shall learn fully about Pursuing, because they are dual. Conduct the first: when the opponent wishes to cut in from above, note the moment they draw up their sword for the strike, pursue that with a cut or with a thrust and hit them in the upper opening before the opponent ever returns with their cut or drop into their arms from above with your long edge and press them away from you with it.	[75] This is about racing-after 75 Learn the racing-after,  Doubly or cut into the weapon Gloss. Note, this is so that you shall learn the racings-after quite well, because they are dual, and the first conduct thusly: when he wishes to cleave-in above him, so note while he yanks up the sword to the strike, [and] race-after him with a hew or with a thrust, and hit him to the upper opening before the moment he descends with the hew, or fall with the long edge above him onto his arm and with that, press him from you.	[75] About following-after. 75 Learn to follow after  twofold, or cut in the defence. Glosa. You shall learn well to follow after, and they are two in number. The first you do like this, when he tries to cut you from above. Wait until he draws the sword back and up for the strike, and follow after him with a cut or with a thrust and aim for the upper openings, before he can do his strike. Or fall with the long edge from above onto his arm and press him away from you with this.	[75] 8. The "Traveling After" (Nachreissen): There are two kinds of Nachreissen, and you should learn both. Use the first against an Oberhau. If he raises the sword to strike, travel after him with a strike or a thrust and hit him in the upper opening before he can complete the strike. Or fall on his raised arms with the Lange Schneide (long edge) and push him away from you.

	[76] Yet another pursuing Another. When the opponent initiates a cut from above, if the opponent allows their sword to go down to the earth with their cut, pursue them with a cut to their head, before they rise up with their sword.	[76] Yet another racing-after Item. When he begins to hew you downward from above, and if he then allows his sword to go down to the earth with the hew: so race-after him with an over-hew to the head before the moment he comes-up with the sword, so is he struck.	[76] Another following-after. When he cuts against you from above and he continues downwards towards the ground with his sword, follow after him with an Oberhau to the head, before he comes up with the sword. Or if he wants to thrust at you, pay attention for when he positions his sword against you for the thrust, and follow after him and thrust in, before can perform his thrust.	[76] Another Nachreisen When he strikes an Oberhau and brings the blade down with the strike, travel after him with a strike on the head before he can get his sword up again.

	[77] Or if they will thrust at you, note the moment they draw their sword back to themselves for the thrust, then pursue them and thrust them before they ever complete their thrust.	[77] Or if he will thrust you, note the moment he yanks the sword to him for the thrust, so race-after him and thrust him before he completes his thrust.	[77] Or if he will thrust you, note the moment he yanks the sword to him for the thrust, so race-after him and thrust him before he completes his thrust.	[77] But if he wants to thrust at you and pulls the sword back to prepare for the thrust, travel after him and thrust at him, before he can do it himself.

	[78] About the couplings to the outside 76 Two couplings to the outside  Your work begins thereafter 77 And gauge the application  Whether they are soft or hard Gloss. Note the two couplings to the outside are the two racings behind against the sword. Conduct it like this: When the opponent over-commits themselves attacking before you, pursue them. Then if the opponent parries that, stay with your sword against theirs and gauge whether they are soft or hard with their application. Then if the opponent lifts your sword upwards with theirs using strength, extend your sword over theirs to the outside and thrust to their lower opening.	[78] About the outer-cattle-drives 76 Two outer-cattle-drives,  You work begins thereafter, 77 And test the attacks,  Whether they are soft or hard. Gloss. Note, the two outer-cattle-drives are the two racings-after upon the sword; conduct it thusly: When he mis-hews himself before you, race-after him. If he then displaces you, so remain with the sword upon his and test whether he is soft or hard with the attack. If he then, with the sword, lifts that of yours upwards with strength, then extend your sword outside over that of his and thrust to his low opening.	[78] About the outer takings. 76 Two outer takings.  Thereafter you shall start your work. 77 And test the movements,  if they are weak or strong. Glosa. The two outer takings are two followings-after with the sword. When he cuts in front of you, travel after him. If he defends himself against this, and you are left with your sword against his, feel to see if he is weak or strong in the bind. If he then strongly lifts your sword up and away with it, reach your sword to the outside over his and thrust in against the lower openings.	[78] The "Abnahmen" from the outside Note, there are two "Abnahmen" from the Outside, which are two "Nachreisen" at the sword (am Schwert). Do them like this: If his strike falls short, travel after him. If he displaces that, stay at the sword and check whether he's hard or soft in the bind. When he pushes up your sword with strength, place your blade on the outside of his blade and thrust at his lower opening.

	[79] The other coupling to the outside Another. When you fence cautiously from the rising cuts or otherwise from the lower applications, then if the opponent lays over you and winds atop your sword before you come up with it, then remain strong below with your sword against theirs. If they turn it and work to your upper opening, then follow with your sword and in their thrust take weak of their sword with your long edge and press down and stab them in the face.	[79] The other outer-cattle-drives Item. When you fence cautiously from the under-hews (or otherwise from the under-attacks): if he then lays over you and winds upon your sword before you come up with that, [and] then remains strong with your sword below upon his winding and works to your upper opening, so follow-after with the sword and take weak of his sword with the long edge, and press down and stab him in the face.	[79] The other outer taking. When you fence against him with Underhau or with other techniques that come against him from below, if he overpowers you and winds from above against your sword before you can come up with, you are left with your sword under his and so hold strongly against it. If he winds and threatens your upper opening, so follow after with the sword and catch the weak of his sword with the long edge and push downwards, and thrust into his face.	[79] The second Abnahmen from the outside Also, if you fence against him with low strikes or other techniques, and he forestalls this and winds against your sword from above, so that you cannot move it up, maintain stronglcontact with his sword from below. If he then attacks yopur high opening follow with your sword, take the weak of his blade with your long edge, push it down and thrust into his face.

[80] This is the text and the gloss about the feeling and about the word "in-the-moment" 78 Learn the feeling;  In-the-moment, that word hews severely. Gloss. This is so that you properly learn the feeling and the word "in-the-moment", and shall understand that the two things belong to the same and are the greatest arts of fencing.	[80] About the Feeling and about the word "Instantly". 78 Learn to Feel.  "Instantly" is a word which cuts sharply. Glosa. You will learn this carefully, and understand, Feeling and the word "Instantly", because these two things go together and are the highest arts in the fencing.	[80] The "Fühlen" ("feeling") and the word "Indes" ("while" or "during") You shall learn and understand both the word "Fühlen" and the word "Indes", because these two belong together and together they account for the greatest art and skill in fencing.

	[81] And understand it like this: When one binds someone against their sword, in that, just as the swords spark together, you shall immediately feel, whether they have bound soft or hard. And as soon as you have perceived that, think of the word, Indes. That is, in that same swift perceiving of the soft and of the hard, you shall work to the nearest opening so that they will be struck before they come to their senses.	[81] Item. And understand it thusly: When you come to him with the onset and one binds another on the sword, so in that you shall feel with the hand (that is, perceive), just as the swords spark together, whether they have bound soft or hard, and as soon as you have perceived that, think of the word "in-the-moment"; that is, in that same swift perceiving of the soft and of the hard, you shall work to the nearest opening, so [he] becomes struck before he will have his insight.	[81] When one binds the other with the sword, so you will, in the same moment that the swords strike together, already feel if he has bound soft or hard. And as soon as you have felt this, think of the word "Instantly": that is to say, that you in the same instant that you feel this, quickly work against the soft and against the hard with the sword towards the nearest opening. Thus he will be cut down before he understands what is happening.	[81] Therefore remember: if one binds against the others sword, you shall notice – right in the moment when the blades make contact - whether he has bound hard or soft. And as soon as you have noticed this, remember the word "Indes": this means that you should attack the next opening immediately and nimbly, hard or soft. So he will be defeated before he knows it himself.

	[82] Another. You shall think of the word Indes in all bindings of the sword because Indes doubles, Indes mutates, Indes slips through and Indes takes the slice. Indes wrestles. With Indes, take the sword. Indes puts whatever your heart desires into the art.	[82] Item. Note, you shall think of the word "in-the-moment" in all bindings of the sword, because in-the-moment doubles and in-the-moment mutates, in-the-moment runs-through, and in-the-moment changes-through, in-the-moment takes the cut; in-the-moment wrestles, and with in-the-moment, take the sword. In the art, In-the-moment does whatever your heart desires.	[82] In all bindings with the sword you shall think of the word "Instantly", because "Instantly" doubles and "Instantly" mutates, "Instantly" runs through and "Instantly" takes the cut, "Instantly" wrestles, "Instantly" takes the sword from him, "Instantly" does in the art all that your heart desires.	[82] Likewise, you shall remember the word "Indes" during all binds at the sword, because "Indes" dupliert and "Indes" mutiert, "Indes" rushes through and "Indes" takes the ‚Schnitt‚, "Indes" wrestles and "Indes" disarms him, "Indes" – in the art of fencing - does, what your heart desires.

	[83] Indes is a sharp word. Consequently, any fencer that knows nothing of this word, becomes cut. And this word, Indes, is also the key with which every art of fencing becomes unlocked.	[83] In-the-moment is a sharp word; with it, any fencer who knows nothing of the word becomes hew. And the word "in-the-moment" is also the key in which all of the art of fencing becomes unlocked.	[83] "Instantly" is a sharp word, which cuts all those fencers who do not know something about the word. And the word "Instantly" is also the key, whereby all fencing art is unlocked.	[83] "Indes" is a sharp word, which cuts all fencers, that don't know anything about it. And "Indes" is the key, which unlocks the art of fencing.		/Indes ist/ ein scharpffes wort damitt alle fechte~ verschnitten werden bÿ des wortz worts nichten wissen Vñ dz wort Indes ist och der schlissele damit alle kunst de fechtens vffgeschlossen wirt ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ :·	inndes ist ein scharffs wort damit all vechter verschnytten werdent / die des worts nit wissen / vnd das wort indes ist der schlissl / da mit alle kunst des vechtns aus geslossen wirt /
	[84] Pursuing 79 Pursue twice,  If one hits, make the old slice from it. Gloss. This is for when the opponent over-commits themselves attacking before you, pursue with a cut to their upper opening. Then if they rise up and bind against your sword from below, then note just as soon as one sword clashes against the other, then fall from their sword across their arms with your long edge and in this way press them away from you or slice from the sword through their jaw. Conduct this on both sides.	[84] This is yet another play text and gloss about racing-after 79 Traveling-after twice:  If one joins, make the farewell cut with it. Gloss. Note, this is when he mis-hews himself before you: so race after him with a hew to the upper opening; if he then drives up and binds under you upon the sword, so note just as soon as one sword sparks on the other, [and] so fall upon him from the sword with the long-edge over his arm, and also press him from you (as stands pictured next), or cut him from the sword through the mouth. Deploy this to both sides.	[84] Following after. 79 Follow after twofold,  meet him as he does the old slice. Glosa. When he cuts against you and his point passes you, so follow after him with a strike against the upper openings. If he goes up and winds against you from below with the sword, pay attention to the sword blades against each other, and fall with the long edge from the bind over his arm, and push him away from you. Or slice him from the bind in over the face. Do this to both sides.	[84] A third Nachreisen When he strikes short in front of you, travel after him with a strike to the high opening. If he moves up and winds against your sword from below, note: as soon as the swords clash together, fall on his arms with the long edge and push him away from you. Or cut through his face.

	[85] About overrunning 80 Whoever hunts below  Overrun, then they will be shamed. 81 When it clashes above,  Strengthen, This I will praise. 82 Make your work  Or press hard twice. Gloss. This is for when the opponent targets the lower openings with a cut or with a thrust in the onset, you shall not parry them, rather await, such that you overrun them with a cut in at the head from above or lodge the point from above, so that they become shamed by you because all descending cuts and all lodgings against from above reach over the lower.	[85] This is the text and the gloss about running-over 80 Whoever aims below,  Run-over, then they become shamed. 81 When it sparks above  Then strengthen, this I will laud. 82 Make your work  Or press hard twice. Gloss. Note, this is when he targets the lower openings with a hew or with a thrust in the onset: you shall not displace him, rather await, such that you run-over with a hew above into the head or set-upon the point above (as stands pictured hereafter next to this) so that he becomes shamed from you, because all over-hews and all settings-upon over-reach the lower.	[85] About reaching-over. 80 The one who aims underneath,  reach over him, so he will be defeated. 81 When it clashes above,  be strong: that I will praise. 82 Do your work  or strike hard twice. Glosa. In Zufechten, when he aims for a lower opening with a cut or a thrust, do not defend yourself against it. Rather, wait until you can reach over him with a strike from above against the head or a thrust from above, so he will be defeated by you, because all Oberhau and all high attacks reach further than lower strikes.	[85] (9) The uberlaufen the overflowing. If when coming in to attack, he strikes with a strike or cut to the lower opening, then do not deflect him. Instead, wait and cut or thrust with a strike, or a high cut to the head. This way you can defeat him, because the higher strikes or cuts have a longer range than the lower ones.

	[86] Another. How one shall displace cuts and thrusts 83 Learn to displace.  Skillfully disrupt cut, thrust. 84 Whoever thrusts at you  Such that your point hits and theirs breaks 85 From both sides  You will hit every time, if you step. Gloss. This is so that you shall learn to displace both cuts and thrusts alike with art such that your point hits them and theirs will be deflected and understand it like this: When someone stands against you and holds their sword as if they will thrust from below, setup in turn against the opponent in the guard of the plow from your right side and give yourself an opening with the left. Then if the opponent thrusts into that opening from below, then wind to your left side against their thrust with your sword and step toward them with your right foot, such that your point hits and theirs fails to.	[86] This is the text and the gloss: how one shall offset hews and thrusts 83 Learn to offset:  Skillfully injure, hew, thrust 84 Whoever thrusts upon you,  Such that your point hits and his breaks, 85 From both sides;  Hit any time if you wish to step. Gloss. This is so that you shall learn to offset hews and thrusts alike with art, such that your point hits him and, in that, his becomes broken, and understand it thusly: When someone stands against you and holds his sword as if he will stab you from below, so stand counter against him in the guard of the plow from your right side, and give yourself an opening with the left. If he then under-thrusts to the same opening, wind with the sword against his thrust to your left side and step into him with the right foot, so that your point hits and his fails (as stands pictured next).	[86] How one shall set aside cuts and thrusts. 83 Learn to set aside,  skillfully arrest cuts and thrusts. 84 That which is thrust against you,  meet him with your point and he is countered. 85 From both sides  you always strike if you take a step. Glosa. You shall learn to skillfully set aside cuts and thrusts, so that your point strikes him and he is countered. When someone stands against you and holds his sword as if he thinks to thrust at you from below, stand against him in the Plough guard on your right side and give yourself an opening on the left side. If he then thrusts from below to this opening, wind with your sword against his thrust, out to your left side, and step towards him with your right foot, so you can hit with your point as he misses.	[86] (10) The placing. (das absetzen). You should learn to stop strikes and cuts correctly, so that his point is broken and yours hits. Practice it like this: when he stands in front of you as if he wants to aim(stab at) for the lower opening, then begin in the guard plug(plough) on your right side and open up your left side, if he then thrusts to your left hand side, twist/bind your sword against his on your left hand side and step with the right foot a step to him: This way your point strikes and his fails(misses).

	[87] Yet another play about displacing Another. When you setup against the opponent in the guard of the plow from your left side, if they cut to your left side's upper opening, then rise up with your sword and wind against their cut up to your left side, such that the hilt is in front of your head and step toward them with your right foot and stab them in the face as is pictured after this.	[87] Yet another play from setting-aside Item. Note, when you stand against him in the guard of the plow from the left side: if he then hews to the upper opening of your left side, then drive up with the sword, and wind to the left side against his hew (such that the hilt is in front of your head), and step into him with your right foot and stab him in the face (as stands pictured hereafter next to this).	[87] Another technique for setting aside. When you stand against him in the Plough guard [Pflug] on your left side: if he cuts at you towards the upper opening on your left side then go up and out to the left side with the sword against his cut, with the hilt in front of the head; and step towards him with the right foot and thrust at his face.	[87] The second placing. When standing against him in the guard pflug (plough) on the left hand side, and he strikes to your upper left hand opening, then drive high to the left with the hilt before your head, take a step toward him with the right foot and stab him in the face.

	[88] About Disengaging 86 Learn to disengage  From both sides stabbing sharply with it 87 Whoever binds upon you  Disengaging surely finds the them Gloss. This is so that you shall learn the disengaging well and conduct it like this: When you cut or thrust in in the initiation of fencing, if the opponent will bind against the sword with either a cut or a parry, then let your point go under their sword and rush through and with that, gravely thrust in on the other side, so that you immediately find the opening of the opponent as is pictured here.	[88] This is the text and the gloss about Changing-through 86 Learn to change-through  From both sides; stab with violence 87 Whoever binds upon you,  The Changing-through finds him swiftly. Gloss. This is so that you shall learn the changing-through well, and conduct it thusly: When you cleave-in or thrust to him in the onset, if he will then bind on the sword with a hew or with a displacement, allow the point under his sword and slip through, and with that, thrust-in to him violently at the other side, thus you find the opening upon him swiftly (as stands pictured).	[88] About changing-through. 86 Learn to change-through  on both sides, hurt him with thrusts. 87 He who binds against you  the changing-through finds him quickly. Glosa. You shall learn carefully to change-through. When you strike or thrust in against him in Zufechten and he tries to bind against the sword with a cut or a parry, let the point sweep through under his sword, and hurt him with a thrust to the other side, quickly find one of his openings.	[88] (11) The changing through. (durchwechseln). Drive it so: when he wants to bind against a blow or cut , so let the point slide through under his sword: then you will find his opening.

	[89] Another. Then if the opponent becomes aware of the thrust and chases it with a parry, then disengage again to the other side.	[89] Item. If he then becomes aware of the thrust and drives after it with the displacing, then but change-through to the other side.

	[90] Another. Another. If you arrive at your opponent, then advance your left foot and hold the long [sic. point] against their face. Then if the opponent cuts at the sword from above or below and wants to strike it away, allow your point to sink downward and stab them in the other opening of the other side and do this against all cuts.	[90] Item. Another. As you come to him, set your left foot forward and hold the long [point] against his face. If he then hews to the sword (over or under) and will strike it away, allow your point to sink downwards and stab him to the other opening of the other side, and do that against all hews.

	[91] About the yanking back 88 Tread close in binds,  So that yanking back gives good opportunities. 89 Suddenly withdraw. If they engage, suddenly withdraw more.  Uncover the work that does them harm. 90 Suddenly withdraw in all engagements  If you wish to make a fool of the masters Gloss. This is for when you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, cut in strongly from above, from your right shoulder to their head. Then if they bind you against their sword by parrying or otherwise, then in the bind step close to them and suddenly withdraw away your sword up off from theirs and cut in again from above on the other side at their head. If they parry that for a second time, then strike back in again from above on the other side and work swiftly according to the upper openings that may occur to you using doubling and by other plays.	[91] This is the text and the gloss about yanking 88 Tread near in binding;  The yanking gives good opportunities. 89 Pull: if it connects, yank more.  If he works, cut so that it does him woe. 90 Pull in all hits  Of the masters if you wish to deceive them. Gloss. This is when you come to him with the onset: so cleave-in strongly above from the right shoulder to the head. If he then binds you with displacing (or otherwise on the sword), so tread near to him in the bind on the sword and withdraw your sword from his above, and cleave-in again above to the other side to his head (as it stands pictured next to this). If he displaces that too a second time, so strike-in again above to the other side, and work swiftly according to the upper openings which may occur to you with the doublings (or otherwise with other plays to his nearest opening).	[91] About the twitching. 88 Step in closer in the bind,  the twitching gives you a good deal. 89 Twitch! Meet it, then twitch again.  Find openings to work: then give pain. 90 Twitch in all fights  against the masters, if you want to trick them. Glosa. When you come against him in Zufechten, strike powerfully from above from your right shoulder in against his head. If he binds against the sword with a parry or suchlike, step in closer to him in the bind and twitch your sword up and away from his and cut back down against him on the other side of the head. If he defends himself this second him, strike back to the first side from above and work deftly against the upper openings that open to you, with doubling and other techniques.	[91] (12) The Jerk (Das zucken) When you come to fence, so hit him from the right with an oberhau to the head. If he binds at the sword, then step in close to him(still binding ), jerk your sword quickly from above his and hit from the other side to his head. If he deflects it again, then strike him again to the other side, and then work cleverly to the upper opening with duplieren and other pieces.

	[92] Or act as if you will suddenly withdraw and remain upon the sword and thrust immediately back in against the sword at their face. Then if you do not rightly hit them with your thrust, then work using doubling or otherwise with other plays.	[92] Or act as if you will yank and [then] remain upon the sword, and quickly thrust-in again upon the sword to the face. If you then do not quite hit him with the thrust, so work with the doubling or otherwise with other plays.

Note there are hangings from each hand and from each side of the ground. Execute them like this: When you bind against the opponent's sword using the lower displacement toward your left side, hang your sword's pommel [down] toward the ground and from that hanging thrust up at their face from below. Then if the opponent shoves your point upward by parrying, then remain like this against their sword and rise up with them and hang your point down in their face from above and in these hangings you shall swiftly conduct all applications [with] cut, thrust and slice thereafter as you perceive in the binding up of the swords whether they are soft or hard with it.	[106] This is the text and the gloss about the two hangings 96 The two hangings happen  From one hand from the earth. 97 In every drive,  Hew, thrust, leaguer; soft or hard. Gloss.

If he then shoves your point upward with the displacing, so remain thusly upon the sword and also drive up with him, and hang the point from above down to the face, and in the two hangings you shall swiftly conduct hew, thrust, and cut [with] every drive. Thereafter, as you [are] in the binding-on of the sword, with that, perceive (or test) whether he is soft or hard. (The hangings from both sides, this is the plow from both sides.)	[106] About the two hangings. 96 There are two hangings  from each hand to the ground. 97 In all movements:  strikes, thrusts, guards—soft or hard. Glosa. There are two hangings from each hand and on each side towards the ground. When you bind against his sword with a lower setting-aside to your left side; hang your pommel to the ground and thrust him from below up into the face from the hanging. If he pushes your point upwards with a parry, stay in the bind and go up with him, and hang the point from above downwards towards his face. And in the two hangings you shall deftly use all techniques: strikes, thrusts and slice; in the binding against the sword notice if he is soft or hard.	[106] (16) The hanging. Note: There are two hangings from the same side: Drive them as follows: If you bind against his sword on the left while absetzen (setting aside) an attack to the lower opening, let your sword pommel hang to the ground and stab to his face from beneath. If he then deflects your point upwards, remain on the sword and drive high also. and let the point hang into his face from above. And learn all techniques from both hangings:Blows, thrusts and cuts, depending, on whether you feel he is soft or hard in the bind.

It~ schlecht er vom schwert vmb mitt aine~ oberhaw° dir zu° der andere~ sÿtten So bind mitt storck sine~ haw mitt nach [47v] mitt der langen schniden im oben ein zu° dem kopff	Item Schlet er vom schwert vmb mit einem oberhaw dir zu der andern seÿtten / so pindt im gegen seinem haw mit sterck ein oben zu dem kopf /	schlecht Er vom schwert vmb mit einem Oberhaw dir zu. der andern seiten. so pind gegen seinem haw mit sterckh ein Im oben zu dem kopff.
	[109] Or if they strike around using the crosswise cut, then drop into their arms using the upper slice.	[109] Or if he strikes-around from the sword with the thwart, so fall into his arms with the over-cut.	[109] Or if he strikes round in a Zwerchau, fall with the upper slice against his arms.	[109] Or if he strikes around with the zwerch, then fall on his arms with the overcut.		Oder schlecht er vmb mitt de~ zwer So fall im mitt dem obern schnitt in die arme	Oder schlecht er vom schwert vmb mit der twer so vall im mit dem obern schnidt in die arm~ /	slecht Er vom schwert vmb mit der twir. so vall Im mit dem obern schnit in die arm
	[110] Or if they suddenly withdraw their sword to themselves and wish to thrust at you from below, then pursue them against their sword and lodge against them from above.	[110] Or if he yanks his sword to himself and wishes to thrust you below, so race-after him upon the sword with the point, and set-upon him above.	[110] Or if he twitches the sword and thinks to stab you from below, follow after him in the bind, and thrust into him from above.	[110] Or if he pulls his sword back and tries to stab you in the lower opening. Then then follow his thrust and stab him over the sword.		Oder zuckt er sin schwert an sich vñ will dir vnnden zu° stechen So raise im nach an dem schwerte vñ secz im oben an	Oder zuckt er sein schwert an sich vnd wil dir vndten zu stechñ so raÿß im nach mit dem ort am schwertt / vnd setz im oben an /	zuckht Er sein schwert an sich. vnd will dir vnden zustechen. so raiß jm nach mit dem ort am schwert. vnd secz Im oben an.
	[111] Another. Or if they do not wish to withdraw themselves nor strike around away from the sword, then work against their sword using doubling or otherwise using other plays as you perceive the soft and the hard on the sword thereafter.	[111] Item. Note, if he does not wish to withdraw nor strike-around from the sword, so work upon the sword with the doubling (or otherwise with other plays) as you thereafter perceive the soft and the hard upon the sword.	[111] Or if he does not draw back from the sword, nor strikes round, work in the bind with the doubling and with other techniques—all because you mark if he is soft or hard in the bind.	[111] But if he wants neither to pull away or strike around, then work at the sword with duplieren and other techniques. Depending on whether or not you feel he is hard or soft at the sword.		It~ oder will er sich vom schwert nicht abziechen noch umbschlachen So arbait du am schwert mitt dem duplieren vñ sunst mitt andere~ stucken darnach alß du enpfindest die waich vnd die hört am schwert etc	Merck / wil er sich vom schwert nit abziechñ noch vmb schlagñ so arbeit dw am schwert mit dem dzplierñ vnd sunst mit anderñ gefertñ / darnach als du enpindest die weich vnd die hert am sch[wert]	will Er sich vom schwert nit ab ziechenn noch vmbschlachen. so arbait dir am schwert mit dem tuplir(n) vnd sonst mit andern geverten. darnach als du empfindest die waich vnd die hert am schwert. ~
	[112] Hereafter note what is called here, the long point. Note the moment before you arrive too close to the opponent initiation of fencing, advance your left foot and hold your point long from extended arms against their face or against their breast. Then if the opponent cuts down at your head from above, then wind against their cut with your sword and thrust into their face.	[112] Here note how you shall stand in the long-point and what plays you shall conduct from it Item. Note, when you come just near to him with the onset: so set your left foot forward before when he binds you on the sword, and hold your point long with extended arms against the face or against the chest. If he then hews-in from above to your head, so wind against his hew with the sword and thrust into his face.	[112] That which is called the "long point". Before you come too close to him in Zufechten, set your left foot forwards and hold the point towards him with outstretched arms towards the face or the chest. If he cuts at you from above and down towards your head, wind with the sword against his cut and stab him in the face.	[112] The long point Note: If coming in to fence, then your left point forward and place your point (with outstretched arms) against his breast or face. Or if he strikes to your head wind your sword against his blow and stab him to the face.

	[113] Or if the opponent cuts down at your sword from above or up from below and wishes to knock away your point, then disengage and thrust to the opening on the other side.	[113] Or if he hews from above to below, or from below up into the sword, and wishes to strike the point away, so change-through and thrust to the other opening or side.	[113] Or if he cuts from above or from below against your sword and tries to knock the point away, change through and stab him on the other side into the opening.	[113] Or if he strikes you from above or beneath and wants to beat your blade to the side, then change through and thrust to the opening on the other side.		Oder hawt er võ oben nider ode~ võ vnde~ auff dir zu° dem schwert vñ will dir de~ ort wegk schlachen So wechsel durch vñ stich im zu° der andere~ sÿtten zu° der blöß	oder hawt er von oben nÿder oder von vndten auff dir zu dem schwert vnd wil dir dein ortt weg schlagen / so wechsl durch vnd [21r] stich im zu der anderñ plõs oder seyttñ /	oder hawt er von oben nider. oder von vnden auff. dir zu dem schwert. vnd will dir den ort wegkhschlach(en) so wechsell durch. vnd stich jm zu der andern seiten. zu der plöß.
	[114] Or if they hit your sword with strength with their cut, then let your sword to snap around, so you hit them in the head.	[114] Or if he hits your sword with strength with the hew, so allow your sword to snap-around, so you hit him in the head.	[114] Or if he meets the sword powerfully with the cut, let your sword snap round. Thus you strike in against the head.	[114] But if he hits your sword with strength, snap it around and hit to his head.

	[115] If the opponent rushes in, then conduct the wrestling or the slice. Watch that it does not fail you.	[115] Or if he runs-in, so conduct the cut or await the wrestling. Watch that it does not fail you.	[115] If he rushes in towards you, grapple or slice him. Watch out so that it does not go wrong for you!	[115] If he runs in then wrestle or cut.

	[116] The text about the distillation of the recital 102 Who fully commands and correctly breaks  And makes complete irrefutable judgement 103 And breaks each one individually  Into three wounders 104 Who hangs consummately and correctly  And carries out windings with it 105 And considers the eight winds  With correct judgement 106 And unites them.  The windings, I differentiate trebly 107 Thus they are twenty  And four counting them individually. 108 From both sides  Learn eight windings with steps 109 And gauge these applications  Nothing more than soft or hard Gloss. This is a lesson in which the recital is succinctly tied together for you. It is taught like this so that you will be fully and completely educated and practiced in the art against those you fence with, so that you know how to execute your break against their play, so that you can complete your work from any particular break using the three wounders.	[116] This is the text about the conclusion of the entire Recital 102 Whoever commands well and properly breaks,  And tenaciously corrects completely, 103 And breaks apart,  Each into three wounders; 104 Whoever properly hangs well,  And with that brings the winding, 105 And considers the eight windings,  With proper movement; 106 And yet I mean your one  Of the windings are triple, 107 So are they simply counted  Twenty and four. 108 From both sides  Learn eight windings with stepping, 109 And test the drives [for]  Nothing more than soft or hard. Gloss. This is a lesson, therein the art of the record is skillfully understood. It is taught thusly so that you shall be quite well practiced and accomplished in the art. Also, so that you can appropriately command any attack and play according to that which you fence with, so that you therefore correctly know to conduct your break against his plays, so that you may work with three wounders from each particular break.	[116] The summary of the markverses. 102 He who does well, who counters correctly  and diligently and who understands completely, 103 and especially who counters  everyone by the three wounders, 104 he who lets go completely  and takes it into the wind 105 by eight windings,  and who understands correctly 106 that each of  the windings are threefold, so I mean 107 that there are  twenty and four, 108 counted on both sides.  Learn the eight windings with steps. 109 And test all techniques  no more than you test for weak or hard. Glosa. This is a lesson, which summarises the markverses so that they are comprehensible for you. Learn also: that you shall acquaint yourself well with and train the art by which you fence, so that you know to use your counters against his techniques. Especially that you can work with the three wounders from every counter.	[116] The closing lesson. In the following it is taught briefly. Note: In the art of fencing you should always be practised and ready, so that from each break you are able to operate, with blows, with trusts, and with cuts.

	[117] Another. You shall also properly hang against the sword and from these hangings you shall deliver eight winds and you shall also consider and properly estimate these windings, so that you know which one of the aforementioned trio to execute.	[117] Item. You shall also properly hang upon the sword and from the hangings you shall bring eight windings, and you shall also consider and properly estimate the windings, so that you know to conduct which one of the said three.	[117] You shall also hang well in the bind, and from the hangings you will use eight windings, and you will study these windings, so that you know to use all of the three methods.	[117] You should be able to use the hanging at the sword. And to wind from the hanging. And from the hanging you are likewise to be able to strike and cut.

	[118] Here note how you shall conduct the hangings and the windings Look at it like this: There are four bindings of the sword. Two upper and two lower. You shall only execute two specific windings from each binding of the sword.	[118] Here note how you shall conduct the hangings and the windings Item. Understand it thusly: there are four bindings-on of the sword, two over and two under. You shall only conduct two particular windings from each binding-on of the sword.	[118] How you shall use the hanging and the windings. There are four bindings with the sword, two over and two under. Now in every binding with the sword you will use two specific windings.	[118] The hanging and the winding. There are four sword binds, two upper and two lower. From each bind you should control two winds.

	[119] Another. Do it like this: When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, then if the opponent binds against your left side from above, then wind your short edge against their sword and rise sufficiently up with your arms and hang your point in at them from above and thrust into their face. If they parry the thrust with strength, allow your point to hang in from above against their sword and wind to your right side and thrust. These are two windings against one side of the sword.	[119] Item. Do it thusly: When you come to him with the onset, if he then binds-on to you above against your left side, so wind the short edge upon his sword and drive well up with the arms, and hang-in your point to him above and thrust into his face. If he displaces the thrust with strength, allow your point to hang-in above upon the sword, and wind to your right side and thrust. These are two windings on one side of the sword.	[119] If he binds above on your left side, wind the short edge against his sword and go upwards with the arms; and hang the point in from above towards him and stab him in the face. If he defends against the thrust, let the point hang in from above in the bind and wind out to you right side. There are two windings around the side of the sword.	[119] So if he binds high to your left hand side, lift your arms and wind the short edge at his sword, leave the point hanging and thrust to his face. If he sets aside the thrust, wind to your right side and let the point hang.		Das vernÿm also [124v] Bindt er dir oben an gegen deiner lincken sÿtten So winde die kucz kurcz schnide an sin schwert Vñ far wol vff mitt den arme~ vñ heng im den ort oben ein Vñ stich im zu° dem gesicht Verseczt er den stich So lauß den ort am schwert oben ein hangen vñ wind vff dein rechte sÿtten Daß sind zwaÿ winden an aine~ sÿtten des schwerts ~ ~~	Item / dem thue also / wen du mit dem zu fechtñ zu im kumbst / pindt er dir denn oben an gegen deiner lincken seyttñ / So wint die kurtz schneid an seinem schwert / vnd far wol auff mit den armen / vnd heng im dein ort oben ein / vnd stich im zu dem gesicht / versetzt er den stich mit sterck / So las im dein ort am schwert oben ein hangen / vnd wint auff dein rechte seytt vnd stich das sind zwaÿ winden an einer seÿttñ schwertz /	dem thue also.

	[120] Or if the opponent binds against your right side from above, also wind your long edge against their sword toward your right side and rise sufficiently up with your arms and hang your point in at them from above and thrust into their face. If they parry the thrust using strength, let your point hang in from above against their sword and wind to your left side and thrust. These are four windings from the two upper bindings from the left and the right sides.	[120] Item. Or if he binds-on above against your right side, wind the long edge upon his sword also against your right side and drive well up with the arms, and hang-in your point to him above, and thrust-in the point above into his face. If he displaces the thrust with strength, allow your point to hang-in above upon the sword, and wind to your left side and thrust. These are four windings from the two over-bindings-on, from the left and from the right sides.	[120] Or if he binds above to your right side, wind the long edge against his sword towards your right side. And up with the arms and hang the point in from above and thrust him in the face. If he parries the thrust powerfully, so in the binding let the point hang in towards him from above and wind out to your left side and thrust. There are four windings from the two high bindings on the left and right sides.	[120] Likewise if he binds high to your right side, then also wind to your right, with the long edge at his sword, lift up your arms let the point hang and thrust to his face. If he sets aside the thrust with strength then let his point rest on your sword above the hanging, wind to the left and thrust. These are the four windings from bindings to the upper left and upper right side.		[124v] Item oder d bind er dir oben an gen diner rechten sÿtten So wind och gege~ dine~ rechte~ sÿtten die langen schnid an sin schwert vñ far wol vff mitt den armen vnd heng im den ort oben ein vnd stich im zu° dem gesicht verseczt er den stich mitt störck [48r] so lauß im den ort am schwert oben ein hangen Vñ wind vff din lincke sÿtten vñ stich Daß sind vier winden vß den obern zwaÿen anbinden von der lincken vnd von der rechtten sÿtten ~	Oder pindt er dir oben an gegen deiner rechtñ seyttñ / So wint auch gegñ deiner rechtñ seÿttñ die lang schneid an sein schwert / vnd far wol auff / mit den armen vnd heng Im dein ort obenn ein / vnd stich im zu dem gesicht / versetzt er den stich mit sterck / so las im dein ort am schwert oben ein hangen / vnd windt auff dein lincke seÿtt vnd stich / das sind vier winden aus den obern zwaÿn an pinden von der lincken vnd der rechtñ seÿtten /	pindt Er dir oben an gegen deiner rechten seiten. so wind auch gegenn deiner rechten seiten. die lang schneid an sein schwert. vnd var wol auff mit den armen. vnd heng jm den ort oben ein. vnd stich Im den ort oben ein zu dem gesicht. verseczt Er den stich mit sterckh. so laß jm den ort am schwert oben ein hangen. vnd wind auff dein linckhe seitten. vnd stich das seind vier winden. auß den obern zwayen anpinden vnd der linckhen vnd rechten seitten.
	[121] Another. Now you shall know that you shall also execute four windings from the two lower bindings with all applications as from the upper. In this way the upper and lower windings total eight. And remember that you shall execute one cut or slice and one thrust in particular from each winding. And these are called the three wounders. Therefore one can and shall execute them from the eight windings, arriving at twenty-four. And you shall properly learn to execute the eight windings from both sides, so that with each wounder, you gauge their attack in no other way than whether they are soft or hard against your sword. And when you have sensed the two things, execute the play into the winding that is called for. If you do not do this, all windings become a means to be struck.	[121] Item. Now you shall know that you shall also conduct four windings from the two under-bindings-on with all attacks, as from the over[-bindings-on]. Thus the windings, over and under, become eight. And remember that you shall conduct one particular hew, or one cut, or one thrust, from each winding. And this is called the three wounders. From those, one can and shall conduct them from the eight windings into twenty-four instances. And you shall properly learn to conduct the eight windings from both sides, so that you step in with each winding, and you test his attack, no more than if he is soft or hard upon the sword. And when you have sensed these two things, conduct the play into the winding which is called for. Whenever you do not do this, you become struck by all windings.	[121] Now you shall know that from the two low bindings also you shall use four windings with all techniques you use from the over bindings: thus there are eight windings above and below. And think that from every winding you can use a strike, a slice and a thrust. And these are called the \three wounders", which of the twenty four methods one can and should use from the eight windings. And the eight windings you shall learn well on both sides, so that with every wounder you can feel precisely if he is soft or hard in the bind, and no more. And when you have felt these two things, use the correct techniques that are companion to the windings. If you do not do this then you will be beaten despite all windings.	[121] Likewise you should control four windings from the lower bindings. just as above. This totals eight, and imagine that you can strike, thrust and cut, from each winding, so that twenty four techniques can come from one winding. And you are to learn the eight winds in this way, from both sides. So that with each strike you test whether he is hard or soft at the sword. And you have learnt to drive through all pieces that lead to winding, if not you will be hit within each winding.

	[3] The first ground position. When you are both down from the horses, Then stand with your left foot forward and hold the spear ready to throw. And close to him thus; so that the left foot always stays in front. And wait, so that you can throw before him. And follow on at once shooting forward with the sword, then he cannot safely cast against you, and grip the sword.

	[4] The second ground position. When you would not shoot your spear, then hold it next to your right side in the lower guard and go to him thus. And stab him bravely from underneath at his face, before he does it [to you]. If he jabs at the same time or sets aside, then drive up in the high guard. So that his point remains on your left arm. Stab him at once with the point over his arm into his face. If he then drives up and sets aside with his left arm then jerk down and set the point in the opening of his left arm pit.

Thrust immediately with your point over his arm into his face. If he drives high and deflects with his left arm, then jerk away downwards and set your point under his left shoulder in his opening.

	[5] The jerk with the spear. When you stab from the lower guard, and he sets [it] aside with his spear, and his point to the side and goes beyond you, then jerk through and stab him to the other side. Or if he stays with the point before his face, then don't jerk. But remain with the spear on his and wind to the next opening, that he opens to you.	[5] The Jerking Away with the Spear When you thrust out of the lower guard and he sets it aside with his spear, then his point goes past yours, then twitch through and thrust him to the other side.

	[6] The traveling after with the spear. When you stab and he sets aside and loosens himself from the bind, then follow quickly with the point. Strike him with it. Then press him in that way back. If he now wishes to flee backwards before the stab and turns aside close to you. Then run in on this side and grip him with such wrestling grips and arm breaks, just as you find described in the following.	[6] Nachreisen with the Spear. If you thrust towards him and he sets it aside and wants to free himself from the bind. then follow immediately with the point. If you hit him with it then shove him back with it.

	[17] When you set the point to an equipped man. Then you must quickly recognise his openings. At first try and strike him in the face, but also in the armpits, in the palms of the hands, or in from behind the gloves, or in the knee pits, between the legs and on all the limbs, where the coat of mail joins inside. Because these are the best place in which to strike him. And you should know precisely, how you can strike these openings. Therefore you will not aim at a more remote one, when you could hit a closer one with greater ease. Practice with all the arms, that pertain to the fight.	[17] The openings of one who is armed If you want to place an attack at a place on a prepared man, then you must detect his openings quickly. First attempt to attack him in the face, but also under the shoulders, in the palms of the hands or from the rear in the gloves, or in the hollows of the knee, between his legs and to all the members there, where the armour has his joints inside.

	[19] The first technique. The cast over the leg to behind: When he seizes you you above and then draws you to him with strength to him or will thrust you from him, then strike the right arm outside over his left hand, just behind his hand. Press his arm with both hands at the breast, spring with your right foot behind his left and throw him over your knee.

	[27] The serious fight sword vs sword When both javelins have been thrown and the sword fight begins, then you should before all things pay attention to the four guards with the half sword. From them stab always to his upper opening. If he then jabs or binds with your sword. Then your should immediately notice if he is hard or soft at the sword. And when you have noted that, then use the strong against him, as is described in the following.

	[28] The first guard from the half sword. Holding your sword with the right hand on the grip and the left in the middle of your sword, keeping it on your right side above your head and let the point hang down towards his face.	[28]	Die erst hu°t In dem halben schwert ~~ Item halt din schwert mitt de~ rechten hand bÿ der händhäbe vñ mitt de~ lincken grÿff mitten in die clingen vñ halt es neben dine~ rechten sÿtten über din haüpt vñ laß den ort vndersich hang~ dem man gegen dem gesicht etc	Hie merck die Erst hutt mit dem halben Schwertt Item halt dein Schwertt mit der Rechten hand pey der hand hab vnd mit der linkenn greiff mittenn In die klingenn vnd halt es nebenn deyner Rechten seittenn vber dein haubt vnd los den ortt vntersich hangenn dem man gegenn dem gesicht	Hie merck die erst hut mit dem halbenn schwert.

	[29] If he then stands in the lower guard and wants to stab you underneath, then stab down from above between the sword and his closest hand. Press the pommel underneath, wind the point on his sword under and through to his right side and set the point on him.	[29]	Item stätt er dañ gegen dir In der vndern hu°t Vnd will dir vnden zu° stechen So stich durch võ oben nider zwischen dem schwert vñ siner vorgesäczner hand Vñ truck den knopff vndersich vnd wind im den ort am schwert vnde~ durch gege~ sine~ recht~ sÿtten vñ secz im an ~~~~ ~ ~ ~ :·~	Item merck Stett er dan gegen dir In der vndern hutt vnd will dir vnnden zw Stechen von oben nyder zwyschen dem Schwertt vnd seyner vorgesatzten handt vnnd truck den knopff vntersich vnd wind Im den ortt vnden am Schwertt durch gegen seyner Rechten seÿtten vnd setz Im ann	Item merck stet er dann gegenn dir in der vntern hut, vnnd wil dir vntenn tzu stechenn vonn obenn nider tzwischenn dem schwert, vnd seiner vorgesatztenn handt, vnnd truck denn knopf vntersich, vnnd wind im denn ort am schwert vntenn durch gegenn seiner Rechtenn seittenn, vnd setz im an.
	[30] Stab him in the face from the first guard. If he fends that off then jerk or go through with the point to the other side, just as before. When you have set the point against him then put your sword under your right armpit with the hilt on your breast and push him from you.	[30]	[98r] Item stich Im vß der ersten hu°t zu° dem gesicht wert ers So zuck oder ge du~rch mitt dem stich alß vor zu° der anderen sÿtten Vñ weñ du Im hau~st angeseczt So schlach din schwert vnde~ din rechte v°chsen mitt demgehu~ltz an die brüst vñ dring in also von dir hin ~	Item Stich Im aus der Ersten hutt zw dem gesicht wert ers weitt So zuck oder gee durch mit Stich als vor zw der andern seytten vnd wen dw Im hast angesetzt So Schlag dein Schwertt vnter dein recht vchssenn mit dem gehultz an die prust vnd dring In also von dir hin	Item stich im aus der erstenn hut zu dem gesichtt, wert ers weit so tzuck, so tzuck [!] oder gehe durch mit dem stich als vor, zu der andernn seittenn vnnd wenn du im hast angesetzt, so schlag dein schwert vnter dein Rechte vchsenn, mit dem gehiltz an die brust, vnd dring in also von dir hin.
	[31] Second assault from the first guard Stab him in the face from the first guard, just as before. If he puts the sword in front of him with the left hand in front and keeps the point in front of the face, and sets it around to you. Then grip with the left hand the point of his sword and hold it tight. With your right hand stab him hard in the face.

	[32] If he then wants to jerk on the sword and pull it from your hand, then suddenly let it go, so he gives you an opening. Straight away grip your sword again in the middle with your left hand and follow straight away to him.	[32]	Zuckt er dann sÿn schwerst vast an sich vñ will dir daß vß der hand rissen So laß im dz schert / Vrbringe faren So gibt er sich bloß So begriff sin schwert bald mitt de~ lincken hand wider mitten in der clingen vñ folg im nach etc	zuckt er dan sein Schwertt vast an sich vnnd will dir das auß der hand Reyssenn So las Im das Schwertt [111v] vrbering farn so gibt er sich plos So begreiff dein Schwertt bald mit der linken hand wider mitten In der clingen vnd volge Im nach	tzuckt er dann sein schwert fast ann sich, vnnd wil dir das aus der handt reissenn so las im das schwert vrbering farn, so gibt er sich plos, so begreif dein schwert bald mit der lincken hanndt, wider mittenn in der clingenn, vnnd volge im nach.
	[33] Second defence from the first guard If you grab his sword and he grabs yours, then let go of his sword and grip yours again in the middle with your left hand, wind the point out and over his left hand and set the point at him.	[33]	Item ain anders Begrÿffstu sin schwert vñ er das din So [99r] wirff sin schwert vß de~ lincken hand Vnd do mitt begrÿff daß din wide~ mitten inder clingen vnd wind im den ort ausen über sin lincke hand vñ secz im an ~ ~	Item Aber ein anders begreiffstu sein Schwertt…	Item aber ein anders, begreifstu sein schwert, vnnd er das dein, so wirf sein schwert aus der linckenn hanndt, vnd begreif das dein damit wider mittenn in der clingenn, vnnd wind im denn ort außenn vber sein lincke handt, vnd setz im ann.

	[35] When you stab him to the face from the upper guard. And he with his left hand seizes your sword between your hands, then drives through with his pommel outside or inside above his left hand. Tear to your right side and set the point on him. When you do, you'll also strike him with the pommel from the upper guard.

	[36] The second guard with the half sword Hold your sword with both hands, down to your right side, with the grip next to your knee. Your left foot will stand forward and the point shall be directed at the face of your opponent.	[36]			Item wenn du also stehest, in der hut, stehet er den gegenn dir in der obernn hut, vnnd wil dir obenn ansetzenn, So stich du vor, vnd setz im den ort, vnter sein lincke vchsenn in die plos, oder stich im tzu seiner vorgesatzenn handt, zu der plos des teners.

	[37] When you stand in this guard and he faces you in the upper guard and wants to set it in from above. Then stab him first and set the point on his forward hand in the opening of the flat of the hand. Or stab through over his forward hand, press down with your pommel and set him to the other side.

	[39] A break against the setting through When you stab him from the lower guard and he stabs you from the upper guard between your forward hand and your sword and pushes his pommel down. Then go in to the upper guard and set on him at once.

	[51] The fourth guard with the half sword As above hold your sword with both hands - holding it with the grip under the right armpit and place the hilt (in) on your breast on the right, so that the point sticks out to your opponent. [In this guard you should come from all previous mentioned.] Also when you have stabbed him to the opening and fixed the point in his armour then wind the hilt constantly in front of your breast and push him from you. And don't let him detach from your point. So he can neither stand still, hew or stab.

	[52]  When you have applied it and he has a longer reach than you, then push him thus from you, so that the point sticks out above and is set well into the rings of the chain mail.

	[53] If he has a shorter reach than you let the pommel of your sword drop to your right hip and the point will jut out above and stick in the rings, just as above. Thus press him away from you and don't release him from the sword.

	[54] The before and the after in the fight/fence You should in all things know the before and after. Because all skill in the fight comes from it. Take note, that you come before him with strikes and stabs, then he must move. And straight away, when he binds with his sword, set your techniques on, so he cannot get his techniques through your assault. This is the before.

	[55] The after. The after are all breaks against the techniques that he sets against you. When it occurs, that you must set him aside. Then from that setting aside immediately use your point to find his next opening. So you go straight away from being defensive to being offensive. This is the after.	[55]	Item hie mörck daß nach Daß sind die/brüch wide~ alle stuck die er vff dich trÿbt trÿpt Vnd daß ver nem nÿm also kumpt v er vor dz du im verseczen mu°st So su°ch zu° hand mitt de~ versäczüng mitt dem ort die nechsten blöß So gewinst du [103r] mitt dine~ versaczüng die arbait Vnnd dz haisst daß nach ~~	Item hie merck was da heist das nach das sind die bruch wider alle Stuck die er auff dich treibt vnnd das vernim also kompt er vor das dw Ime versetzen must So such zw hand mit der versatzung mit dem ortt die nachst Blos so gewinstu die arbeitt mit deyner versatzung vnd das heist das nach	Item hie merck was da heist das nach das sind die prüch wider alle stuck die er auf dich treibt, vnnd das vernim also, kumbt er vor das du im versetzen must, so such tzu handt mit der versatzung mit dem ort die nechst plöß, so gewinstu die arbeit mitt deiner versatzung, vnd das heist das nach.
	[56] You should therefore respect that in the fight/fence you take no more than a step towards or away from him. When he is faster than you and you can no longer set him aside, then go backwards one step only with your left foot and be aware that you can step back in with the left foot and set in again or seize him with the wrestle.	[56]	Item hie solt du mörcken daß in dem kampff fechten nicht mer soll sin wann ain abtritt vnd ain zu°tritt Vnd daß vernÿm also v~berilt er dich überÿlt er dich daß du zu° kainer versaczung komen magst So solt du nur ain tritt zu° ruck thon mitt lincken fu°ß vnd wart wÿßlich daß du im mitt aine~ zu° tritt deß lincken fu°ß wider an seczest ode~ mitt ringen begrÿffest ~~~~~	Item hie soltu merckenn das In dem kampff vechten nicht mer soll sein denn ein arbeitt vnd ein zw tritt vnd das vermein also vbereilt er dich das dw zw keyner versatzung komen magst So soltu newer Ein tritt zw Ruck thün mit dem linkenn fus vnd wartt weyßlich das dw Ime mit eynem zw tritt des linkenn fus wider ansetzest oder begreiffest mitt Ringen	Item hie soltu merckenn, das in dem kampfechtenn nicht mer sol sein den ein abdrit, vnd ein tzu trit, vnnd das vernim also.

	[58] Position yourself against him in a guard. Stands he also in a guard opposite. That if he pulls his sword, if he wants to rake or lift up to strike, then go with your point to his next opening before he can complete his strike or stab. If he comes really early before with the sword at the same time without aiming for your opening. Then you can jerk through suddenly. And always set the jerk on, when he only strikes at the sword. So you come to the arm breaks and to other breaks and this is the art against those.

	[63] The strike with the pommel. Defence against the strike with the pommel. The "percussive point" is the strike with the pommel. When he comes over with a strong strike in this way, then hold the sword over your left knee in the lower guard. If he then strikes to your head - and is a strong man - then strike his strike with your sword in front of your left hand over to his right. And drive in with the sword in the upper guard.

[68]	Item wañ du häst din schwert neben dine~ rechten sÿtten In der vndern hu°t Schlecht er dir dañ mitt dem knopff nach dem ort vñ lausst in wÿt vmb dich lauffen So spring die wil künlich zu° im So schlecht er mitt dem knopff überdich daß ist dir nicht schädlich Vnd secz Im an ~~	Item wenn dw hast dein Schwertt neben deyner Rechten seitten In der vntern hutt schlecht er dir dann mit dem knopff nach dem ortt vnd lest Inn weitt vmb sich lawffen So springe dieweille kunlich zw Ime So Schlecht er mit dem knopff vber dich das ist dir nit schedlich vnd setz Im an	Item wen du hast dein schwert neben deiner Rechtenn seitten in der vntern hut, schlecht er dir dan mit dem knopf nach dem ort, vnd lest inn weit vmb sic[h] laufen, so spring dieweil künlich tzu im, so schlecht er mit dem knopf vber dich, das ist dir nit schedlich vnd setz im an.
	[69] You will always use travelling after and setting in, whilst he draws out with the pommel.	[69]	Item och magst du Im nach raÿsen vñ an secze~ wo du wilt die wil er den knopff also wÿt lasst vmb sich lauffen ~ ~ ~	Item auch magstu Im nachreisen vnd an Setzen wo dw wilt dieweil er den knopff also weit lest vm sich lawffen	Item auch magstu im nachraißen vnd ansetzen, wo d[u] wilt, dieweil er den knopf also weit lest vmbsich lauffenn.
	[70] Assault with the pommel When you strike with the pommel, then you should aim at all his extremities that he sets forward. When you would strike, then hold your sword in the guard over your head and do so, as if you where going to stab him in the face. Then release the sword with your right hand and grab the blade next to your left. Strike with the pommel to his forward foot or his forward hand, whilst he holds the sword on the blade. You will also strike from the right lower guard.

	[71] Beware therefore if he strikes to your forward knee or forward hand and set him aside with the pieces described earlier so that he cannot hurt you.	[71]	Item du solt och gar eben fürsechen wann er dir mitt dem knopff zu° dine~ vorgesaczten knÿ oder zu° dine~ fürgesäczter hand schlecht Daß du im den schlag also versecztest mitt den vor geschribne~ brüche~ daß er dir nitt schaden müge etc	Item Aüch soltu dich gar ebenn fursehenn wen er dir mit dem knopff schlecht zw deynem vorgesatzten knye oder zw deyner vor gesatzten hand das dw In dem Schlag also versetzt mit den vor geschribenn Bruchenn das er dir nicht schaden mag…	Item auch soltu dich gar eben fürsehen, wen er dir mit dem knopf schlecht tzu deinem vorgesatzten knie, oder tzu deiner vorgesatztenn handt, das du im denn schlag also versetzt mit denn vorgeschriben pruchen, das er dir nicht schadenn mug.
