Perceive whether he is soft or hard with his Duseggen. If he is hard and holds against you strongly, follow outward with your left leg and allow the weak to quickly pass and strike his head on his right side. (0:15 / 1:22) If he then strikes you like this from above and you also stand against him in the bind with your right foot set forward, follow outward with the left and displace his strike with the strong of your Duseggen. (0:23 / 1:33)Then immediately step in once more with your right leg and strike to his left side. If he displaces this, pull the right foot back again and thrust to his face. (0:33 / ) If he then thrusts like this to your face, take the thrust away with your short edge and cut with the long edge to his face. (0:48 / 1:55) If he cuts like this to your face, drop a Krump on him so that you have the cut as good as he and may work with him all the previous techniques. (1:01 / 2:06)
