Slicing Off
15th Century
Entry incomplete
16th Century
In Meyer the slicing off appears more as a way of attacking or defending with slicing movements (as opposed to parrying with a static blade or a percussive strike against the opponent's weapon). This is done from extended arm positions such as Langort with long edge slicing movements to attack or to set aside the opponent's blade.
Applications
Slicing off can be performed to both sides; we're told to use it to hold off attacks until we can find advantage.
Application 1: Slicing off to both sides
In this application the cut is being used as a Hitter in the Onset. In this case the fencer is acting in the Vor.
