H2: The crooked strike (Krumphau)

08/28/2019

"Here learn and know that the Krumphau is an
Oberhau which is done in a bent manner with a good step to
one side. This is why Liechtenauer says whoever wants to
execute this strike, should step well to the right side while
striking and shall well and quickly Krumphau and shall throw
or thrust the point over the hilt of the adversary onto his
hands..."

While the text describes striking directly to the hands, in most practical applications the Krumphau is done to the blade, setting up a second strike as shown here.

Another video showing multiple applications of the Krumphau may be found here.
