Here we see a Zornhau aimed between the eyes. This targeting only appears in later manuals from other traditions, but is the theoretical upper limit of the angling of this strike.

Here we see how moving the strike just a few inches higher leads to a complete miss. The proximity of the strike to the head leads most new fighters to react unnecessarily.

Here Ben sees that Randy’s parry is too high, and he can see the underside of his blade. He decides to execute a Durchwechseln.

Ben lowers his body and withdraws his sword letting Randy’s sword pass by and prepares to thrust.
