'''[1] A High Thrust against a Low Thrust with the Rappier'''
 +
 
 +
It happens like this in this technique: hold your Rappier in your right hand in front of your forward leg in a low thrust position directed towards his groin. He then stands with his left foot opposite you and thrusts towards your face at the upper opening (as in illustration). Then drive up with your Rappier out of the low thrust position, fall over his Rappier and with that take away his thrust to your left side with your short edge. Then immediately step with your left leg in the triangle on your right side and strike to his forward leg.
 +
 
 +
If he strikes low towards you like this, then yank your left leg back and take it away with the long edge so that you avoid injury from him and can work against him once more.

'''[2] An Understich against an Oberhaw'''
 +
 
 +
Hold yourself like this with this technique: stand with your left foot forward and hold your Rappier in an Understich (low thrust position) opposite the opponent on your right side with the blade along your left thigh. He then stands with his right foot opposite you and strikes from above to your head. Then drive up with your Rappier out of the low thrust position and with that fall over his Rappier to take away his strike to your left side with your short edge. Then immediately follow outward with your right leg and do an extended strike from above to his head.
 +
 
 +
If he strikes like this to your upper opening, then take it away with your long edge and immediately step back. As you step back pay attention that you strike his right forward set leg and with that yank back away from him.

'''[3] An Understich against a Zornhaw (wrath strike)'''
 +
 
 +
It happens like this with this technique at the closing: he stands with his right foot forward and holds his Rappier with his right hand outside of his right leg. You then stand opposite him with both feet together and hold your Rappier up high in the Zornhaw over your head (as in illustration). He thinks you will then strike him wrathfully from above, but step in with your right leg and wind with a Verborgnen Stich (concealed thrust) behind your head and forward from your right side to your left into his face with a Nachtruck (after-press).
 +
 
 +
If he has wound a thrust like this towards your face, then take it away with your short edge to your left side, immediately follow outward with your left leg and strike him with the same thrust to his right opening that you then see. With that step back away from him.

 +
Hold yourself like this with this technique at the closing: stand with your left foot forward and hold your Rappier in an Underhaw outside next to your left thigh. He then stands with his right foot opposite you and fires a high thrust towards your face or chest (as in illustration). Then go up with your Rappier out of the Underhaw and take his thrust away with your long edge and at the same time follow outward with your right leg and strike to his head. Then immediately step with your right leg behind your left in the triangle and wind a thrust towards him from your left to his right side.
 +

'''[18] Two Bindings from the Left Side'''
 +
 
 +
Hold yourself like this with these techniques in the Sword: stand with your left foot forward, your left arm outstretched with your Buckler so that your Sword stands at your right chest with your cross under the point opposite the opponent with your blade on your left arm (shown in illustration). Thus you can thrust to his left side. Then immediately spring in with your right foot and strike to his right arm. If he parries this with his Buckler, then thrust quickly to his groin.
 +
 
 +
If he thrusts towards you like this and you stand with your left foot forward, then spring back with both feet together and set his thrust aside with your Buckler. Then immediately spring in quickly with your right foot against his right side with another thrust. If he parries this with his Sword, then strike him quickly to his forward set leg.
 +
 
 +
If he strikes like this to your foot, then yank it back and thrust immediately to his face.

Thus you have him in the Wag and can throw him wherever you want.

Paulus Hector Mair (1517 – 1579) was a 16th century German civil servant and fencing enthusiast. He was born in Augsburg in 1517 to a wealthy and influential family in the German middle class (Bürger). In his youth, he likely received training in fencing and grappling from the masters of Augsburg fencing guild, and early on developed a deep fascination with fencing manuals. He began his civil service as a secretary to the Augsburg City Council; by 1541, Mair was the Augsburg City Treasurer, and in 1545 he also took on the duty of Master of Rations.

Mair lead a lavish lifestyle and maintained his political influence with expensive parties and other entertainments for the burghers and city officials of Augsburg. Despite his personal wealth and ample income, Mair spent decades living far beyond his means and taking money from the Augsburg city coffers to cover his expenses. This embezzlement was not discovered until 1579, when a disgruntled assistant reported him to the Augsburg City Council and provoked an audit of his books. Mair was arrested and tried for his crimes, and hanged as a thief at the age of 62.

While Mair is not known to have ever certified as a fencing master, he was an avid collector of fencing manuals and other literature on military history, and some portion of his embezzlement was used to fund this hobby. Perhaps most significant of all of his acquisitions was the partially-completed manual of Antonius Rast, a Master of the Longsword and one-time captain of the Marxbrüder fencing guild. The venerable master died in 1549 without completing it, and Mair ultimately was able to produce the Reichsstadt "Schätze" Nr. 82 based on his notes. In sum, he purchased over a dozen fencing manuscripts over the course of his life, many of them from fellow collector David Lienhart Sollinger (a Freifechter who lived in Augsburg for many years). After Mair's death, this collection was sold at auction as part of an attempt to recoup some of the funds Mair had appropriated.

Already in Mair's lifetime some of his people's Medieval martial arts were being forgotten; this was tragic to Mair, who viewed the arts of fencing as a civilizing and character-building influence on men. In order to preserve as much of the art as possible, Mair commissioned a massive fencing compendium titled Opus Amplissimum de Arte Athletica ("The Greatest Work on the Athletic Arts"), and in it he compiled all of the fencing lore that he could access. He retained famed Augsburg painter Jörg Breu the Younger to create the art for the text, and according to Hils Mair also hired two fencing masters to pose for the illustrations.[citation needed] This project was extraordinarily expensive and took at least four years to complete. Ultimately, three copies of the massive fencing manual—six volumes in all—were produced, the first entirely in Early New High German, another entirely in New Latin, and a third including both languages.

Whether viewed as a noble scholar who made the ultimate sacrifice for his art or an ignoble thief who robbed the city that trusted him, Mair remains one of the most influential figures in the history of Kunst des Fechtens. By completing the fencing manual of Antonius Rast, Mair gave us valuable insight into the Nuremberg fencing tradition, and his extensive commentary on the uncaptioned treatises in his collection serves to make useful training aids out of what would otherwise be mere curiosities. Finally, while his collection of manuscripts was dispersed after his death, most been preserved to this day instead of disappearing as did so many others, significantly expanding the corpus of historical European martial arts literature.
