Please excuse the poor quality of the video. We are experimenting with the low-light setting of the camera and will redo this video at a later time.

Der Veler
“If your opponent stands as is shown in the figure, then stand in the high-point and strike a feint to his left ear. By doing so he displaces in vain, and you gain a full strike against his strike.” (Paurñfeyndt p. G2.)

Windenschlag bricht der Veler
“When one feint-strikes to you, strike down through from above, so that you remove his strike from his hand with the back of your messer so that you clear the way for you to strike, and you expose him.” (Paurñfeyndt p. G3)
