[23] A turner [change over]

Item: conduct yourself thus in this onset. Stand with your left foot forward and stab him at his left side. [1]

If he stabs thus at you and you stand with your right foot forward, so set him aside with your dagger blade on your arm. Immediately grab with your left hand his right arm, push therewith below under him and stab him above at his face.[2]

If he stabs thus at you, so grip with your left hand on his right and let your dagger fall. Immediately grip with your right hand in the left hand’s place and with the left on his right shoulder and turn him therewith on his right side.[3]

If he thus turns you, so take your dagger in the left hand, immediately step with your right foot well forward in front of yourself and turn yourself immediately nimbly and stab him in his left side.[4]

If he thus thrusts at you so grip with your right hand well in front on his left arm and with the left on his dagger so wind it out of his hands.[5]

If he has taken your dagger, so step with your right foot behind his left, immediately set with your right hand forward on this throat and with the left between his genitals and throw him back therewith.[6]
