Blind Strike
Longsword
A secondary strike which uses winding with the opponent's blade inside your own to cut their head to the inside.
Execution
- In the bind wind to the left as if you're attacking with a point/slice to the left side of their head.
- As he pushes this aside to his left, wind deeply to your low right so the false edge of the sword flicks inward against the left side of their head.
- Wrench left with the cross, or just wind back the right (into a pflug on the left side), and continue the fight.
Application
The first part of the blind strike varies through the text. In the canonical description it is a wind from the bind, whereas elsewhere it is begun with a strike with the inside flat of the blade. The important part seems to be the outward wind and the threatening of the face with the point, be it flat or pointed.
Application Example
In which the 'student' demonstrates their knowledge to the 'teacher'.
| Teacher | Student |
|---|---|
| Zornhut, left leg forward | Zornhut, left leg forward |
| Passing Step Zornhauw | Passing Step back Zornhauw parry & bind |
| Gathering Step forward and wind winden to the low left to slice at their left ear. | |
| Parry/swipe the cut to the side | Step to the left and wind winden to the low right with crossed arms and flick the false edge to their left ear in the winding. |
Dussack
A secondary dussack strike which winds the false edge to the opponent's face just as the longsword version does.
Execution
- He attacks you from above.
- Go up with an Entrusthauw to parry the blade with your point turned to your right.
- Wind high right to cut around his blade with the false edge to his face.
- Briefly turn the dussack back toward your high left to cover against his blade.
- Gather forward right and cut with the long edge to his face.
The winding part of this attack is really the "blind strike" part of the motion, with everything else providing context.
