Zucken

Pulling

The act of pulling away from a bind and cutting to a different opening with a swift twitch around their blade.

Application Examples

A demonstration of a simple pulling from a strong bind.

Meister	Lehrling
Zornhut, left leg forward	Zornhut, left leg forward
Passing Step, Zornhauw	Passing Step back, Zornhauw to a bind.
	Pull away from the bind as if you're going to take away above, sliding the middle of your blade toward their weak.
	Cut back down on the same side of their blade with a schielhauw/glutzhauw like motion back to the opening to which you originally struck (ie. their left side)

Another variant of the pulling is a variation on taking away above, as below:

Meister	Lehrling
Zornhut, left leg forward	Zornhut, left leg forward
Passing Step, Zornhauw	Passing Step back, Zornhauw to a bind.
Press hard in the bind	Pull away from the bind sliding up and over to the other side of their sword, using the continued contact to draw their bind out
	Cut back down behind their blade over their blade to slice the wrists or head on the same side to which you originally struck (ie. their left side)

Note: In some ways this particular example is similar to Verfliegen, the difference being that this zucken example is performed after blade contact is established, whereas verfliegen occurs before the bind is established.
