Press hard in the bind | Pull away from the bind sliding up and over to the other side of their sword, using the continued contact to draw their bind out |
Cut back down behind their blade over their blade to slice the wrists or head on the same side to which you originally struck (ie. their left side) |
Note: Meyer describes this cutting back in as using the short edge of the blade in a rapid zwerch/krumphauw movement, though the long edge is described in earlier sources also.
