Reading through Codex Wallerstein and came across the Verzuckter Hau, or twisted stroke. Don't remember seeing this particular stroke in other German manuals (not that I have read em all) could someone elaborate a bit on this?
Thanks

He describes it as a "shortened stroke": someone strikes at you, you bind with his blade, he winds round to put his false edge in your face, you wind up into a right Ochs to defend and to threaten him, and when he goes to defend himself you flick your blade from a dipped Ochs position up into his elbow joint. Quite a nice little technique: not a game winner by itself, but it will certainly upset your opponent and hurt him if it lands!

Here's a short video.
