The Pieces with the Buckler

The First Piece

If you strike an Oberhau, then set the pommel of your sword inside at your buckler to your thumbs. And thrust from below high up to his face, wind against his sword, or let it snap over. This works for both sides.

The Second Piece

If you strike an Unterhau and he executes an Oberhau from his right shoulder, then wind against him on your left side against his shield, then you are doubly protected. Wind then on your right side and work towards his face. If he repels this, by lifting his shield, then strike toward his left leg. This works for both sides.

The Third Piece

Just as before from the buckler. From the Wechselhau strike from left and from above against his sword and strike him then to the left side of the head, and wind towards his unprotected place, and thrust him in the face. If he repels this with shield and sword, then strike with the true edge to his right leg. This works also for both sides.

The Fourth Piece

Out of the middle/horizontal cut (Mittelhau): Strike the Zwerch to both sides and the Scheitelhau with the true edge, and then thrust him in his privy parts.

The Fifth Piece

Out of the Sturzhau do it thus, as if you want to thrust over his shield to the left side; and drive through with the point down and thrust at him within the shield to the body. And wind immediately to your left side. If he repels this, then strike with the true edge to his right leg.

The Sixth Piece

Take the blade to the buckler in your left hand and wind against him as if with the half-sword. If he strikes or thrusts high to your face or low to your leg, then loosen the right hand and set him aside with the shield and sword. Grab then with your right hand on his right side from below to his shield, and turn him on your right side; thus have you taken his shield.
