Techniques in the Wild #12 - Mutieren

Techniques in the Wild is a series that features clips from sparring in which manuscript techniques occur spontaneously. In these clips, we can see many examples of Mutieren. Mutieren is described as an action made in response to a weak bind. When your opponent is weaker in the bind than you are (or is planning leaving the bind), you wind the short edge to his blade and thrust to a lower opening. This ought to control the opponent’s weapon to such a degree that he won’t be able to hit you in return.
