The Ochs against the Bogen

It happens like this in this technique with the Ochs: stand with both feet together and hold your Duseggen away from you with an extended arm such that the point is directed at the opponent and the long edge is turned upward (left side of illustration). Then immediately step in with your right leg and strike with the Zwirch at his left side with the short edge [1]. If he displaces this, then spring with your left foot at his right side and strike long from above to his head [2].

If he strikes towards you like this, then step in with your right leg and displace him with the Bogen, your Duseggen in your left hand. Then immediately follow with your left leg outward and turn upward over your head in the Hangend Ort (hanging point) and then strike double to the right side of his head [3]. If he displaces this, then take your Duseggen in your right hand and Schaitel him double to his head [4].

If he strikes you like this from above, then turn in the Hangend Ort and spring inward with your right foot. Then immediately thrust to his face [5]. If he intends to displace this, then follow with your left foot outward and at the same time strike double to his right arm [6].
