Folio 1rGerman (Liechtenauer)
Nachreisen (script)
— travelling-after as a sequence
Travelling-after. Their cut misses or is withdrawn; you ride the absent blade into the opening before they can guard it.
Nachreisen turns their commitment into your opportunity. The instant their sword is gone — overshot, withdrawn, or retreating — you step into the empty line. If they recover the bind, you stay on the steel and wind.
