Simultaneously

Gleich means simultaneous or the same, and it refers to the commonly occurring situation in which two combatants act at the same time. Usually this is an undesirable situation as there is no good opportunity for either fencer, and a double hit often results.

Gleich is not a core timing element of the early sources, though is specifically noted by Meyer in his section on the topic. The word has the same etymological background as the work "Like" in English (as in these two things are alike) and has much the same implications.
