--An inwinding from which an arm break goes

Item: conduct yourself thus in this device/play/bit/encounter. Wind yourself with stabbing and thrusting toward him so that your left foot stands forward, your thumb under by your rondel.
If he then stands also thus against you with his right foot forward his thumb above on the pommel and stabs above to your face [1], thus go toward his stab and set it aside between both your hands on your dagger so that the point stands in front against him. Immediately wind in with your point above over his right arm, thus you are able to break his arm [2].

If has thus set you aside and wishes to break your arm thus, step toward him with your left leg and grip with your left hand on his right elbow, shove him therewith over himself so you will be free of him. Immediately stab him in his face or the breast [3].

If he thus stabs in at you above thus take it away from him with your dagger on your right arm from inside and outside. Immediately tug as if you would like to thrust to his face and change your dagger out of your right hand into your left. Immediately step with your right foot toward him and thrust to his genitals [4]. Step therewith twice back away from him.
