When he then strikes like this towards you and you stand with your right foot forward, drop into the Hangenden Ort (Hanging Point) (as in illustration) and let the weak of your sword pass, then spring in behind his right side and hit to his head. If he displaces this, Doplier (double) high and Mutier (transform) low and set the point on his neck. If he sets upon you with his point like this, then push him away with your long edge, follow with your right leg outward and strike from below to his right arm. If he displaces this, then step with your left foot in front of his right and hit him with a double Feler (feint) to the top of his head. If he strikes high towards you like this, then displace him and wind with your short edge at his left ear. Then immediately run off and strike around again to his left side with your long edge.
