[edit] Lehrling Level 1 Syllabus

The first Lehrling level introduces tactical concepts such as the stages of the exchange, hitter/provoker/taker strikes, and the ideas of Vor and Nach. The student will know all of the secondary guards, and understand many of the secondary cuts. The Lehrlin I student will also understand important handworks including several deceptions (failing, flowing-off, and flitting), as well as cutting around from the bind.
