Ochs Device 3

Note that in the onset when you can reach your opponent from the Ox, as was just taught, then twitch your sword over your head and slash a strong and well aimed high traverse from your right with the flat outward to his left ear, yet from there twitch over your head and slash with an outward flat from the other side, also high traversing here. After these two strikes fence to what you think is a good opportunity. Thus you can always attack crosswise and against each other, which also leads out of fencing.

What the Device Teaches Us

• Flying off (Verfliegen)
• Rebound strikes (Prellhauw) in the onset (Zufechten)
