Paulus Hector Mair - Dussack #1

This is our interpretation of PHM dussack #1. Solve et Coagula e.V. is a HEMA club based in Fulda/Germany. More information here: ---The Zornhaw against the Schaitler--- When you proceed to close with the opponent, stand with your left foot forward and it happens like this with the Zornhaw. Hold your Duseggen with extended arm above your head on the right side such that the point hangs to the rear (left side of illustration), strike with the Zornhaw to the left side of his head (1) immediately follow outward with your right foot, and thrust to the right side of his face (2). If he thrusts like this towards your face and you stand in the Schaitler with your left foot forward (right side of illustration), set his thrust aside with your long edge, follow outward with your right leg, and immediately strike to the left side of his head (3). If he displaces this, spring with your left foot before his right and strike with the long edge to his head (4). If he then strikes a long one from above towards you like this, step in with your left leg and displace his strike, then immediately strike towards him with an Underhaw from your right to his left side (5).
