Sperren

Blocking/Barring

Coming over his sword with yours while he's in a low guard so he can't come up out of it. For example, if he cuts an Oberhauw drop your own blade over his with crossed hands, preventing him from cutting up or around. This is closely related to reversing (Verkehren)

This technique is demonstrated in:

• Crossguard parry set #4
• Oberhauw parry set #1
