Boj dýkou a nožem (dagger and knife fight) HEMA - Paulus Hector Mair - sestava 24

A dagger taking
Item: conduct yourself thus in the dagger taking. Stand with your left foot forward and stab at his face. If he then thus stabs to your face [1], so go toward him with a stab from below; so his stab is set aside. Immediately grip with your left hand in front on his dagger [2].

If he has attacked you thus on your dagger so grip also with your left hand well forward on his dagger and push therewith strongly below yourself on your left side [3].

If he pushes you then with strength underneath himself[73] so let go of your dagger and nimbly snatch his away; thus he must let you have it. Immediately spring on his right side and stab him in his right arm [4].

If he thus stabs at you, so step back with your right leg and set that aside in front on your dagger. Immediately allow your dagger to nimbly attack from above with winding and stab his right side. And step therewith back into a good stance [5].
