Kneichelhauw

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 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.
