---Two other inward takings away which lead to an arm break

Item: conduct yourself thus with this device. Stand with your right foot forward [1]. If he then also stands against you with his right foot set forward with you in equal effort and [you] have thus bound one another inwardly with your daggers, thus pull [it] immediately nimbly and change it through from below and stab him outwardly at his right arm [2].

If he should stab thus at you, so take it away with your dagger on your arm, immediately stab nimbly from above at his face [3]. If he should set off this stab, thus pull above and stab him from below at his right side [4].

If he should thus stab doubly at you thus set it off with your dagger and grab with your left hand forward at his point [5].

If he has thus seized you and desires to take your dagger, so release it to him. Immediately grab with your right hand in front on his right and with the left well behind his right elbow, step with your left foot behind his right, immediately wind him above from you and below to you, thus you break his arm [6].
