Knuckle Strike
A secondary strike in Meyer's system. This blow attacks the wrists and elbows.
Execution
The canonical application of the Kneichelhauw is described as follows:
- Stand in Vom tag
- As the opponent lifts his hands up to Vom tag cut a rising Zwerch to his wrists or elbows.
We can extend the strike to be generically a strike to the wrists or elbows in this way.
Application
The kneichelhauw is rarely used as a direct first attack except as a means of drawing a response. More often it is used from the bind (Anbinden) wherein the fencer waits for the opponent to take his blade away and at that moment cuts in to the wrists or elbows, or as a chasing movement when the opponent goes up overhead (Nachreisen).
In this respect it can be extrapolated as being any cut against the arms used this way.
Application Example
In which the 'student' demonstrates their knowledge to the 'teacher'.
| Teacher | Student |
|---|---|
| Pflug, left leg forward | Vom tag, left leg forward |
| Lift hands to Vomt tag | Passing Step forward right and Zwerch under to the elbows/wrists. |
