A hits B on the chest. After being hit, B twists his left or right leg, depending on where the punch is coming from, around the right or left leg of person A. He then pushes with his left hand A's right arm downwards and with his left hand he grabs A behind his buttocks at his trousers. Doing this, A has to fall over the leg that B has put forward.

Again, K grabs L at the throat. Noticing this, L then grabs this arm of K with both hands. With his right hand he grabs K's wrist and with his left hand he grabs the arm just above the elbow, while he bends his arm inwards. In this way, it is almost impossible for K to free his hand. Should this happen though, by twisting it for long time, L can then press K's hand against his chest, while he kicks K's foot. Alternatively, he can kick K's balls with his knee, which can provoke quite an unpleasant feeling.

N then places his left hand on M's neck and his right hand on M's trousers. He pushes M forward and makes him fall.

Nicolaes Petter (1624 – 1672) was a 17th century German wine merchant and wrestling master. He was born in Mommenheim, Germany, and took on an apprenticeship in Amsterdam, Netherlands as a young man.[citation needed] He then joined the wine guild and went on to become a successful wine merchant. Petter practiced a style of grappling known as luctorius, and was known in his time as an undefeatable wrestler.[citation needed] His clientele seems to have consisted mostly of upper-class gentlemen, and the techniques he taught were considered more "civilized" than common wrestling.[citation needed]

Petter wrote an extensive treatise on grappling as a means of urban self-defense titled Klare Onderrichtinge der Voortreffelijke Worstel-Konst ("Clear Education in the Magnificent Art of Wrestling"), but did not publish it before his death in 1672. His widow inherited the manuscript and published it with illustrator Romeyn de Hooghe in 1674,[citation needed] and it was reprinted and translated many times in the following centuries. Sydney Anglo describes this text as "historically speaking, [one of] the [two] most important treatises on unarmed combat ever printed", and notes that "in many ways, the finest of all wrestling books—and deservedly the most famous—was the treatise by Nicolaes Petter and Romeyn de Hooghe".[1]
