Over Gripping
An occasional and unusual use of the sword in which the sword is reversed (Verkehren) and the lead hand grips over onto the schilt of the sword to strongly press the hands and block the opponent's movement. From here the fencer can move in to grappling, or cut away with strikes.
Overgripping is demonstrated in:
- Hanging parry set #3 (variation)
