[edit] Slicing Off
[edit] 15th Century
Entry incomplete
[edit] 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.
[edit] Applications
Slicing off can be performed to both sides; we're told to use it to hold off attacks until we can find advantage.
[edit] Application 1: Slicing off to both sides
In this application the cut is being used as a Taker in the Onset. In this case the fencer is acting in the Nach.
