Raw video from TSG class on 10/25/2016. ZETTEL He who strikes from on high the point of wrath threatens. When he is aware come off from above, don’t travel away. Be strong against and turn. If he sees the thrust go low. Know now these things: Hew, Thrust and Lay. Soft or Hard. Indes and Vor and Nach. Hark and be not a fool in the War. He who flees downward from War You will shame. Learn to find hew, thrust, and slice In all winding. To fool the masters In all encounters Test them with Hew, thrust, and slice. Know four openings. Seek to hit true Without any danger, Without doubt what he’ll do. ... He who well defends and in the end does right breaks all into three wounders. He who hangs well and brings the winden with it, winds well with eight with the right risk considered. And each one Of the winden are three So they are twenty and four, Counted on both sides. Eight windings learn with stepping and test the bind no more than hard or soft. GLOSS (from Rome MS, ) (37r-37v) Mark, this is a lesson and an admonition of Hanging and of Winding with the sword; therein you shall well meditate on and take account of, so that you boldly drive with agility and break against the others fencers’ techniques correctly, and drive boldly against him therefrom. When the hangings are the Ox above on both sides, these are the two upper hangings; and the Plow below on both sides, these are the lower two hangings. From the Four Hangings you shall bring Eight Windings, four from the Ox, and four from the Plow, and the same Eight Windings you shall further thus consider and correctly weigh, so that from every particular Winding you shall drive the Three Wounders (that is a hew, a stab, and a slice).
