If your opponent strikes high at you from pre-fencing, step and strike from your left with crossed hands and the short edge against his right arm. In this Krumphau (Arc Strike) step full on to him, push your sword through, follow under him to your right while he is raising his arms high so that you can get under them, then drive with your hilt between his arms, take your left hand off the grip to grab your sword's blade and wrench him over. This crosses while the left hand is free, so he thus raises to strike in vain, and you follow after his upward movement to cut against his arms and so not allow him to operate further.
