Boj dýkou a nožem HEMA (dagger and knife fight) - Paulus Hector Mair - sestava 25

A crossed dagger-taking

Item: When you both come together with the onset [1] your right leg set before you and equally stab in with each other, so grip with your left hand nimbly over your right arm at his point.

If he has thus seized your dagger so grip also with your left hand on his dagger. So you are with each other in equal struggle [work]. Immediately wind his dagger over your right arm on your left side and push your dagger with strength also over his right arm so he must release both daggers to you [2].

If he has then all two [both] of the daggers so grip nimbly both his hands and hold them strongly and press therewith under him.

If he then presses thus under himself so wind with both your arms [in] over his arm [3].

If he has thus wound over you, so grip with your left hand in front on his left and with the right on his dagger by his grip, so he must then release the dagger to you. Immediately tear him [it] away and stab him doubly at his face [4]. Tug therewith back with a good stance.
