Scheitelhau gegen Alber
— parter against the fool
The Parter is the destroyer of Alber. A high vertical cut down the centreline, the arms long, the point so far forward that any rising counter arrives too short.
From Vom Tag the cut comes straight down at the parting of the opponent's hair, arms held long so even a rising counter cannot reach you. If they invert their hands and lift the point into your face, read the displacement and convert the cut into a thrust from Ochs.

Sie im Alber
— they stand in the Fool
Their sword hangs low, point at the ground. The head is offered — but it is bait.
