Verfliegen
From Scholar Victoria
Flying Off
The act of halting a cut just before the opponent parries it, then flying off with a cut to one of the other openings. This is actually a key part of the Meyer square - we fly off to other openings in succession.
Application Examples
In which the 'student' demonstrates their knowledge to the 'teacher' of a flying off to the opposite opening.
Meister | Lehrling |

Eisenport, left leg forward | Zornhut, left leg forward |
Passing Step as a false step with the right foot toward the opponent's right side, Zwerch | |
Long edge parry. | Before contact, pull the sword back and side step to the left, cutting a Zwerch to their upper right opening. |
Note: Ideally this occurs before contact but sometimes it's a good idea to lure them in with a strong parry to drive your own cut to the other side.
