Alius pręcedentis habitus.

A Piece with the Halberd against the Dussack.

Present yourself like so in this piece from the approach: Step in with your left leg and cut a high cut to his head. If he cuts upon you from above like this, and you have your right foot in front, then step in with your left leg and go up high in front of your head in the Crown with your dussack, thereby parrying his cut. If he has taken away your cut like this, then step in with your right leg and wind your front end to his face or chest from below. If he has wound into you with his point like this, then fall upon his halberd with the Crown and push it far below, thus you take that away. In the same moment, grab the back end of his halberd with your left hand and lift his halberd. Step in with your right leg and cut to his head in the same instant. If he then parries that, stab him in the face or chest. Immediately pull yourself back away from him with a Double Cut.
