Hende Drucken
— pressing the hands
Pressing the hands. The strong of your blade pressed downward on the weak of theirs and on their fingers — their hilt cannot rise, their head opens.
From the bind the strong of your sword rides their hands downward. They cannot lift the hilt without yielding the bind; the line above their guard is yours.
