Blind Strike

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.
