--An Einfallen (Dropping In) with a Cut

You strike with the Windthaw (winding/turning strike) and then turn out of it into a low cut towards his right side [1].

Should you perceive this cut, step in with your right foot and shove the cut out with your long edge. As you do this drop your long edge between his hands onto the hilt and immediately invert the right hand and sweep his sword down with the half blade the same as yours (as in illustration) and subsequently yank it out of his hands. Then cut in high or low and you have both swords [2].

If he will then cut like this towards you and has both swords held together, release your hands from your sword and step behind his right leg with your left and grab his waist with extended arms. Thus you throw him with both swords together [3].
