Langort

— long point

Arms extended, point at the opponent's face. The longest line on the floor and the end of every action.

Langort — the Long Point — is less a guard than a destination. Every Liechtenauer technique that does not land cleanly resolves here, with the arms long and the point threatening. From Langort the opponent cannot strike without first displacing your steel; from Langort you wind, change through, or pull back into another guard. The Nuremberg gloss treats it as the chief of the four hangings.
