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. | |
Lift hands so the point is to the low right so their blow slides off to the side, begin to 'roll over' their arms for an Umbschnappen style movement. | 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. |
