As soon as you feel (Fuhlen) the blade taken away, triangle step with the right leg deeply to your left, chase after (Nachreissen) with a tight unterhauw under to their lower right opening or under their arms, while keeping your hilt high to parry their oncoming blade.

Thumb the blade and turn the false edge toward them, sliding down their blade with your flat for a Glutzhauw type motion in a Gathering Step.

As they raise their hands lift your own to the high right and step to their left so you slice up (schneiden) under their arms and counter their attack.
