Wind/wound Strike
A composite strike which combines an unterhauw wound back down into a slice back down on the opposite diagonal. This strike uses a form of “setting aside” (absetzen) and involves “winding” (winden)
Execution
The canonical description of the technique is performed thus:
- Beginning from wechsel on the left, against an attacker striking an oberhau/zornhau rechts.
- Step forward with the left, cutting up with an unterhau, stopping their blade with an ochs position..
- Side step backward to the left, winding your sword down to your lower left, striking him across the arms (see the image)
- Continue the movement through schranckhut
- Continuing the motion, cut back over with a sturtzhauw to the head or krumphauw to the hands.
Application Example
The technique is simplified in many areas to the unterhauw winding to a slice, and this simplified version forms the application for this technique.
| Master | Student |
|---|---|
| Vom tag, left leg forward | Wechsel, right leg forward |
| Passing step, oberhauw | Passing step forward, unterhauw |
| Glide step rear left, wind pommel low left for a slice from above to the arms. |
