Hema tournament wrestling: blue fencer at first intents to throw enemy forward, as in Leckuchner's throw from page 86v, but when enemy resists, blue throws him backwards, as in Leckuchner's throw from page 144r. Notice how blue fencer repositions his leg before finish to trip the enemy over it; exactly as taught by XVth century fencing master. Bear in mind, that before that tasty wrestling action could happen, good enough fencing needed to be played through: blue intended simple attack, then was counterattacked and had to perform countertime parry; then enemy run in (einlaufen) - and it's this mistake that made it possible for blue to use wrestling.
