Paulus Hector Mair - Longsword #10

This is an interpretation of longsword play #10 from Paulus Hector Mair’s enormous compendium of martial arts teachings “Opus Amplissimum de Arte Athletica“ (MSS ). ⭣⭣⭣ More information available below ⭣⭣⭣ See other longsword plays: Training Manual: Website: Source: Dresden I Transcription (1540s) by Pierre-Henry Bas Fencer: Carsten Glotzbach & Christian Stickel ---A Nachraisen (Traveling After) with a Cut--- You stand with your left foot forward in the Unterhau (Upward Strike) and he adheres to your hands from above (as in illustration). So step outward with your right foot and drop a Krump on him at your left side. If he drops a Krump on you and you stand with your left foot forward, then drop down quickly and step out with your right leg. With that strike him from above to the right side of his head. When he displaces this, strike him from below to his left side with your long edge. Then immediately step back and strike him from above a long one to the head. If he travels after, then set the point in his chest. If he sets aside your point, then strike with extended arms back away from him. If he strikes back away from you like this, then travel after him double with cuts and strikes from above and below, whatever he makes you do.
