---A Winding with a Throw

When you both come together at the closing and have equally bound upon each other [1], change through at his Halberd from his right to his left side and thrust to his left arm [2]. Should he perceive this thrust and displace it, change through double and seek his nearest opening [3].

If he seeks your opening like this, stroke with your Halberd from below to in front of his face and strike his foremost arm. Then immediately bind strongly on his Halberd and quickly change through to thrust him double to his face [4][5].

If he thrusts double like this towards you, take this aside with the foremost point of your Halberd such that your left foot stands forward. 

If you then likewise stand opposite to him with your left foot forward. Then take away his Halberd with your rearmost point, step with your right foot behind his left and set your rearmost point in front of and around his neck (as in illustration). With that yank strongly from above to yourself so that you throw him over your right leg [6].
