  1. Prima admonitio,
  2. primum operam dabis,
  3. ut Ictus,
  4. qui mox describentur,
  5. artificiose ferire possis more Athletico,
  6. si fortem gladiatorem te exhibere volveris.
  7. Cum pedem sinistrum praefixeris,
  8. atque de latere dextro ferias,
  9. iam deceptus,
  10. et ictus est falsus,[2]
  11. nam dextrum latus non sequetur,
  12. et ictus brevior,
  13. quam par est,
  14. apparebit,
  15. neque vero ad dextrum latus rite potest exerceri.
  1. First reminder,
  2. first you will dedicate the work,
  3. so that the Strike,
  4. which will soon be described,
  5. you will be able to strike skillfully in the custom of Athletics,
  6. if you would have wished to appear yourself as a strong gladiator.
  7. When you set the left foot in front,
  8. and strike to[3] the right side,
  9. now he/it has been deceived,
  10. and the strike is false,
  11. on the other hand, if he/it will not follow on the right side
  12. and it will be clear that a short blow,
  13. however suitable it is,
  14. [moved to 12]
  15. truly cannot be employed properly toward the right side.
Here begins a good, general teaching about the long sword. Nevertheless, there is a lot of good, hidden art included therein
  1. If you want to see the art,
  2. [if] left [foot forward], go [to the] right with the cuts
  3. and [go to the] left with the right [foot forward]
  4. if you desire to fence strongly.


  1. The first lesson of the longsword is
  2. that you should learn to strike correctly before anything else
  3. The second is that you want to fence strongly.
  4. And thus understand that:
  5. If you stand with your left foot in front
  6. and strike from your right side,+
  7. then the strike is wrong/false and incorrect
  8. because the right side remains behind.
  9. Therefore the strike will be too short
  10. and cannot have its correct path to the right side.
  1. Hie hiebt sich ain gute gemaine Lere des Lanngenn Schwerts doch so ist vil gutter verborgner kunst darin beschloßen
  2. Wiltu Kunnst schawen Sich Linnckh ganng recht mit hawen

  1. Sin autem dextrum praeposueris,
  2. et de latere sinistro ferias,
  3. nec sinistro fueris subsequutus,
  4. tum rursus falleris. [4]
  5. ea propter curabis,
  6. ut,
  7. si de latere dextro ictum regis,
  8. statim subsequaris pede itidem dextro in ipso ictu.
  9. Idem facies,
  10. si de sinistro ferias,
  11. et ea ratione commodissime corpus adcommodabis,
  12. ictusque porrecti et more gladiatorio formabuntur.
  1. but if, however, you should set the right before,
  2. and strike from the left side,
  3. and do not follow immediately with the left,
  4. then you are deceived in turn.
  5. Take care, on account of these things,
  6. so that,
  7. if you direct the blow from the right side,
  8. you would immediately follow with the right foot likewise in the same thrust.
  9. You will do the same,
  10. if you strike from the left,
  11. and you will adapt the body at the right moment to this method,
  12. and the extended strikes are shaped by gladiatorial custom.
  1. Or if you stand with your right foot forward
  2. and you cut from your left side,
  3. if you do not follow with your left foot,
  4. then the strike is wrong** again.
  5. For this reason, take note:
  6. when you strike from the right side,
  7. that you always follow the cut with the right foot.
  8. Also do the same when you cut from the left side.
  9. Thus, your body itself moves into the correct, balanced movement*,
  10. and the cuts are cut long and correctly.
  1. Oder Steest du mit dem rechten fuoß vor,

  3. volgst du dann mit dem lingcken fuoß nit nach

  8. Your sword's point (in fact) will prevent his advance.

  5. of your body.
  6. And if you thus strike them one close at their head,
  7. and you force them there with this,
  8. that they must counteract,
  9. and they cannot arrive at the Change through[8] in the Before.*

  12. then, in particular, do not cut the first cut from the left side

  1. Also, when the adversary touches your sword from the form of thrust or strike,
  2. in the first conflict,
  3. do not immediately practice repeated strikes,
  4. but hasten slowly,
  5. and you will take the greatest care,
  6. in order to observe earlier whether he holds the sword gently or strongly in the striking together of swords,
  7. but if you catch this,
  8. you are able to use the wrapping,
  9. and within the timeframe of the repeated strikes (which is the aspect of the art that we Germans call beautiful/warfare) you attack by closely seeking the opening.
  1. Take note of this equally:
  2. Cut, thrust, stance, soft or hard,
  3. Indes, before and after.
  4. Guard [yourself] from the war, do not rush in (be inclined to haste/incautious).


  1. This is a teaching: Whenever he binds on your sword with a cut or a thrust,
  2. you should not allow yourself to be be inclined to rush with the war (that is, with the twists).
  3. As you take note in the before, immediately just as
  4. when their sword glances on the other,
  5. or if he is soft or hard in the bind and as soon as you sense this, Indesly twist and work with the war toward/following the soft and not[12] toward/following the hard to the nearest opening.
  6. And this is called the before and after,
  7. which you have been previously taught.

  1. Another caution
  2. or using the curved strike.
  3. When you use this strike,
  4. it is always necessary to present yourself open to the adversary,
  5. and thereupon grasp this.
  6. If you strike him the strike from your right side,
  7. or you touch his sword,
  8. you appear open from the left side,
  9. And if HE would have diligently drawn so near before,
  10. the sword having been shifted away from a mutual collision of swords,
  11. and also the opening,
  12. then as you present to him,
  13. he seeks to strike,
  14. and he tries to ensnare you with swiftness,
  15. your [sword] sticks/clings to his sword immediately after and follows/overtakes his strike,
  16. afterwards, twine the sword with your point,
  17. truly into the face of the opponent,
  18. and with continuous strikes,
  19. which is called "warfare" by german athletes,
  20. use [this tactic] when the openings are acquired,
  21. therefore you will completely confuse the adversary with this method,
  22. so that he would neither be able to protect himself against your strike,
  23. nor skill in thrusting.
  1. Krump to him who bewilders you,
  2. the noble war will puzzle him
  3. so that he will truly not know
  4. where to be without danger.


  1. Take note: when you carry out the Crooked cut,
  2. you always have to present an opening with it.
  3. Understand this in this way:
  4. When you cut in with the Crooked cut from your right side
  5. or when you bind on his sword,
  6. during that time you are open
  7. on the left side.
  8. If he is then clever/mentally sharp
  9. and wants to cut from the sword to the opening
  10. and wants to suitably cause you confusion [cause you to make mistakes],
  11. then remain with your sword
  12. on his
  13. and follow theron
  14. his cut.
  15. And twist the point INDES
  16. towards his face
  17. and continue to work with it [the point]
  18. with the war towards his openings.
  19. Thus, he will truly not know in which ends/points
  20. he should defend himself from your cuts or thrusts

[corrected from: he should guard himself from or or defend himself from thrusts].

  5. closely contact the sword to the right shoulder,
  6. and, if you see the enemy from a distance to be that person selected by you, whom you would strike,
  7. then leap forward with your right foot to your right side,
  8. and compose yourself with this method,
  9. as if [you were] to have struck the left side of the head of the adversary with a free transverse [strike],
  10. in reality, having withdrawn the strike.
  11. if you were to leap forward with the left foot on his right side,
  12. his head having been battered with the transverse [strike].
  13. And if he sets aside this forward attack,
  14. and you touch the sword only a little,
  15. then having advanced close to that side,
  16. from which you have used the doubling, you should cut back to the middle of the sword of the opponent using the short edge,
  17. or at the other shoulder.
  18. It is permitted to practice this skill on both sides,
  19. and you can shape the wild by transversing equally from the highest strike possible.
  1. [Execute a] Deception twofold.
  2. If one contacts the Slice with power/strength,
  3. [Execute] Another two,
  4. Step to the left and don’t be sluggish.


  1. Take note: this is called the twofold Deception, and execute[14] it like this:
  2. When you approach him in the onset,
  3. place your left foot forward
  4. and hold your sword
  5. at your right shoulder.
  6. And when you see that he is even with you,
  7. leap toward him
  8. with your right foot well outside
  9. on the right side.
  10. And [act] as if you wanted to cut a free
  11. Crosswise strike
  12. at his left side at his head,
  13. [moved up to 9]
  14. and pull the cut.
  15. And jump with the left foot to his right side
  16. well around him
  17. and strike at him with a Crosswise [cut]
  18. to his head.
  19. If he counteracts
  20. and you contact his sword,
  21. then step to the same side
  22. away and next to him,
  23. and slice behind his sword blade
  24. from the Doubling
  25. into his muzzle[15] with the short edge.
  26. Or drop down with the sword across both of his arms and slice.
  27. [You can] do this on both sides.
  28. You can also execute the Deception in the same way from a High cut
  29. or from a Crosswise strike,
  30. if that is what you want.
