If he displaces the point, then yank back and strike from above to the next opening. If he then strikes you like this, set your left foot forward and spring with your right foot well to his left side and drop in with the Creuzhaw. If he displaces this, then step back with your right leg and strike to his left arm. If he strikes you like this, then displace this with the Krumphaw such that it adheres on your sword. Then immediately step outward with the right foot and strike high to his head. If he strikes high towards you like this, then set this aside with the Krump with your short edge on your right side, and with that cut into the upper opening.
