Krumphau gegen Ochs
— crooked cut against the ox
The named answer to a high point from Ochs. A cross-step offline, crossed hands, the short edge falling on their blade and arms.
When the opponent threatens a thrust from Ochs, the Krumphau cuts across the line of the threat: the lead foot crosses offline, the hands cross over one another, and the short edge falls onto their blade and hands in one motion that displaces and wounds.
