Plunge Strike Although this strike is an Over Strike, be aware that between one and the other lies a minor difference, from which comes this strike’s name of Plunge Strike, that one strikes through by plungeing from above, and that the point comes against one’s opponent’s face from the Ox, and can thus be executed from the start or pre-fencing. |
[Ⅰ.14v.2] Sturzhauw. OB wol diser Hauw ein Oberhauw ist, unnd dafür geachtet das zwischen disem und jenem ein geringer underscheidt sey, wirdt doch diser darumb der Sturtzhauw genant, das er im durchhauwen alweg oben ubersturtzt, das die spitz dem widerpart gegen seinem gesicht kompt in Ochsen, und wirt den mehrertheil im gang oder zufechten gebraucht. |
