Folio 1rGerman (Liechtenauer)
Die Hengen
— the hangings
The Hangings. The strong of the blade acts as a shelf; pressure is received without resistance; the wind is the answer.
There are four hangings — upper and lower, left and right. None is a static guard. Each is the brief moment in which the strong receives pressure and the hilt rotates so the point swings into a new line.
