Hans Lecküchner's fight book on the Langes Messer (long knife) is split into 23 main parts called Haupstücke. In this video, we take a look at the eleventh one called Absetzen. It allows us to employ a counter-thrust whenever an opponent clearly commits to an attack, making it a very useful part of the manuscript to practice for anyone who trains with a single handed sword.
