Thanks, that was my basic understanding of the Krumphau. I always though that the Krumphau was called the "crooked strike" because of the crossing of the hands but it does make much more sense that it is describing the stepping-attack path. I too find it easier to use the long edge from the right side and the short edge on the left side. I have been trying to use the Krumphau from the Pflug and vom Tag guards but not from the Nebenhut - I guess part of my brain has been turned off. <img src="/forum/images/icons/crazy.gif" alt="" /> BTW, when are you going to publish your work? We are about to wet our pants waiting! <img src="/forum/images/icons/tongue.gif" alt="" />
