Near Guard

On of Meyer's secondary guards, the near guard is a low side guard which can be the starting point for an unterhauw or krumphauw.

Meyer doesn't provide a visual depiction of the guard, and other sources are equally vague, in fact there is evidence to suggest that early masters considered any low side guard to be a variation on nebenhut, including schranckhut, wechsel, or anything else.

For our purposes the nebenhut on the right will be a left foot forward, forward weighted posture in which the sword is point down by the right side with the false edge facing toward the fencer. It will be used like an 'orthodox' nebenhut, as well as like an 'orthodox' schranckhut.

The guard can also be weighted backward, away from the opponent, as seen in the image here.
