While in the <i>vor</i>, one dictates his opponent's actions and thus is in control of the engagement, while in the <i>nach</i>, one responds to the decisions made by his opponent. Under Liechtenauer's system, a combatant must always strive to be in control of the engagement—that is, in the <i>vor</i>. "Strong" (<i>stark</i>) and "weak" (<i>swach</i>) relate to the amount of force that is applied in a bind, or contact, of the swords. Here, neither is better than the other, but one needs to counter the opponent's action with a complementary reaction; strength is countered with weakness, and weakness with strength. <i>Indes</i> means "meanwhile" or "interim", referring to the time it takes for the opponent to complete an action. At the instant of contact with the opponent's blade, an experienced fencer uses "feeling" (<i>fühlen</i>) to immediately sense his opponent's pressure in order to know whether he should be "weak" or "strong" against him. He then either attacks on the <i>vor</i> or remains in the bind until his opponent acts, depending on what he feels is right. When his opponent starts to act, the fencer acts <i>indes</i> (meanwhile) and regains the <i>vor</i> before the opponent can finish his action.<sup id="cite_ref-glossary_97-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-glossary-97"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>93<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>What follows is a list of technical terms of the system <i>(with rough translation; they should each be explained in a separate section)</i>: </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Range">Range</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=German_school_of_fencing&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Range"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Some of the later practitioners of the German school of fencing, such as Theodori Verolini,<sup id="cite_ref-98" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-98"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>94<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> started to use the term <i>Mensur</i> (measure) in the 17th century to explain the different ranges of the art of fencing. </p> <ul><li><i>Weite Mensur</i> (wide measure) the attacker has to make two footsteps to reach his opponent with his weapon.</li> <li><i>Mittlere Mensur</i> (middle measure) the attacker has to make one footstep to reach the other combatant with the blade.</li> <li><i>Nahe Mensur</i> (near measure) the attacker can cut or thrust his enemy without having to make any footsteps.</li> <li><i>Enge Mensur</i> (close measure) the attacker and his opponent are so close that they are able to reach the other person with their hands.

Percussion was realized with the <i><a href="/wiki/Mordhau_(weaponry)" title="Mordhau (weaponry)">Mordstreich</a></i> ("murder strike"), an attack with the hilt when holding the sword at the blade, and then penetration into openings of the armour with the <i><a href="/wiki/Halbschwert" class="mw-redirect" title="Halbschwert">Halbschwert</a></i> (short sword), which allowed stabbing with greater precision. From the evidence of the <a href="/wiki/Fechtbuch" class="mw-redirect" title="Fechtbuch">Fechtbücher</a>, most armoured fights were concluded by wrestling moves, with one combatant falling to the ground. Lying on the ground, he could then be easily killed with a stab into his visor or another opening of the armour. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=German_school_of_fencing&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: See also"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1259569809">.mw-parser-output .portalbox{padding:0;margin:0.5em 0;display:table;box-sizing:border-box;max-width:175px;list-style:none}.mw-parser-output .portalborder{border:1px solid var(--border-color-base,#a2a9b1);padding:0.1em;background:var(--background-color-neutral-subtle,#f8f9fa)}.mw-parser-output .portalbox-entry{display:table-row;font-size:85%;line-height:110%;height:1.9em;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold}.mw-parser-output .portalbox-image{display:table-cell;padding:0.2em;vertical-align:middle;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .portalbox-link{display:table-cell;padding:0.2em 0.2em 0.2em 0.3em;vertical-align:middle}@media(min-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .portalleft{clear:left;float:left;margin:0.5em 1em 0.5em 0}.mw-parser-output .portalright{clear:right;float:right;margin:0.5em 0 0.5em 1em}}</style><ul role="navigation" aria-label="Portals" class="noprint portalbox portalborder portalright"> <li class="portalbox-entry"><span class="portalbox-image"><span class="noviewer" typeof="mw:File"><span><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Yin_and_Yang_symbol.svg/28px-Yin_and_Yang_symbol.svg.png" decoding="async" width="28" height="28" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Yin_and_Yang_symbol.svg/42px-Yin_and_Yang_symbol.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Yin_and_Yang_symbol.svg/56px-Yin_and_Yang_symbol.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="250" data-file-height="250" /></span></span></span><span class="portalbox-link"><a href="/wiki/Portal:Martial_arts" title="Portal:Martial arts">Martial arts portal</a></span></li></ul> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Historical_European_Martial_Arts" class="mw-redirect" title="Historical European Martial Arts">Historical European Martial Arts</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Italian_school_of_fencing" class="mw-redirect" title="Italian school of fencing">Italian school of fencing</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/English_Longsword_School" class="mw-redirect" title="English Longsword School">English Longsword School</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Kampfringen" class="mw-redirect" title="Kampfringen">Kampfringen</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Academic_fencing" title="Academic fencing">Academic fencing</a> or <i>Mensur</i></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Notes">Notes</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=German_school_of_fencing&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Notes"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist reflist-lower-alpha"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-1">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">The historical term <i>Fechtschule</i> "school of fencing" does not refer to the "German school" but to individual fencing <i>competitions</i> held in the early modern period, equivalent to the English <i><a href="/wiki/Prize_Playing" title="Prize Playing">Prize Playings</a></i>.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-2"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-2">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">The <a href="/wiki/Early_Modern_German" class="mw-redirect" title="Early Modern German">Early Modern German</a> <i>fechten</i> translates to the English etymological equivalent, <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fight" class="extiw" title="wikt:fight">to fight</a>.
