Ablauffen
Ablauffen (Running-Off or Flowing-Off) means to withdraw from or evade the opponent’s weapon by rotating the blade downwards around the hilt. It is one of several techniques featured in the Handworks section of longsword techniques in Joachim Meÿer's canon, and is also referenced by Paulus Hector Mair. The earliest appearance for Ablauffen is in the messer treatises of Johannes Lecküchner.

| Flowing Off
On whichever hand you bind on your opponent’s sword, so move while retrieving your hand, and let yourself flow off below you with the half edge, and twitch under to bring your riccasso high overhead to strike, and drive such to both sides. |
Ablauffen.
ISt / von welcher Handt du dem Mann an sein Schwerdt bindest / so verkehr in dem es riert dein Hand / und laß mit halber schneid undersich ablauffen / und zuck under des dein Hefft ubersich in die höh zum streich / und solches treib zu beiden seiten. |
