---Two inward takings away from the right side

Item: conduct yourself thus in this taking away. Set your right foot forward and go to him with your dagger at his right arm [1]. If he stands also thus against you with his right foot forward and is simultaneously working with you, so grab with your left hand in front on his right, shove him therewith under himself and stab at his right side [2].

If he thus stabs at you, so seize him with your left hand by his right elbow and step in with your left foot; shove him therewith from you [3].
[Note: You can stab at his right side here]

If he thus shoves you from him, so step with your right leg back on your right side so you wind yourself away from him. In this, step with equal feet together and stab him in his face [4]. If he thus takes away this stab and sets this of yours off with his dagger on his right arm and grabs you with his left hand on your right arm, so grab with your left hand well under his right arm pit and twist him on your right side.[60] Immediately step in behind and stab him in his neck [5].
