Ochs Device 4

At times you can also, as opportunity allows, attack seriously from one side high traversing to the other, and this on one side somewhat with the long edge, on the other with the short edge or flat. At the last thus also mark where one would be rushed in this guard, so that you cannot bring any element into the before, then shoot forward just then into his face with a step forward in the long point, and in this shooting forward turn the long edge against his oncoming strike and, as soon as you engage, wind on his sword to the next opening.

What the Device Teaches Us

• Flying off (Verfliegen)
• The final part of the technique is similar to Schlussel Device 2 with the thrusting parry
