---A High Hanging from both Sides

When you come to the closing with the opponent, stand with your right foot forward and hold your sword on your right side with your hilt in front of your head (as in illustration). Follow outward with your left leg and wind your point into his face with crossed hands out of the Hanging [1].

If he winds the point towards your face like this and you likewise stand opposite him in the Hanging with your right set forward, then follow outward with your left leg and shove out into the winding with the long edge to your right side with crossed hands. Let the weak of your sword run and strike him high [2]. If he displaces this, then Zwirch to his right side [3]. If he displaces this as well, then follow outward with your right leg and Zwirch to the left side of his head [4].

If he Zwirches towards you on both sides like this, then set the Krump on his sword and cut to his head [5].
