Pulling

The act of pulling away from a bind and cutting to a different opening with a swift twitch around their blade.

Application Examples

A demonstration of a simple pulling from a strong bind.

Meister Lehrling
Zornhut, left leg forward Zornhut, left leg forward
Passing Step, Zornhauw Passing Step back, Zornhauw to a bind.
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.

Note: In some ways this particular example is similar to Verfliegen, the difference being that this zucken example is performed after blade contact is established, whereas verfliegen occurs before the bind is established.
