---The Underhaw from Both Sides

It happens that you stand in the Underhaw [1] with your right foot forward and hold your Duseggen with the hilt in front of your head and the point extended towards the opponent (shown left side of illustration). Immediately follow outward with your left leg and strike with the Zwirch to the right side of his head [2]. If he displaces the Zwirch, pull the blow back completely and strike again to his right arm [3].

If he strikes you double like this at your right side and you stand with your left foot forward, set this aside with your long edge and immediately wind upwards over your head, step outward with your right foot and strike quickly to the upper opening on his right side [4]. If he displaces this, wind the point to his face or chest [5]. If he then sets you aside like this, follow outward with your right foot and strike from above to the top of his head [6].
