Definitely there's that leverage component to the slicing and it's the bread and butter of hendedrucken moving from the lower to the upper slice. The question about whether slicing was just a draw cut never really made sense when it's been asked in other contexts because of course it isn't. You can draw in the context of you've got someone running in on you and you turn their momentum against them and move past them with the draw, but I've always taught this slicing as pushing to the hilt and then leveraging them over driving their arms to the ground. I really do like your option on this off the krumphau though. I think often times we see the transition between the low and the high slice just in the context of a high bind, but it can happen in other ways too. Great video.
As much as I'd like to take credit for it (and I'll take a little, since interpretation is required)... I *think* there may be examples given by Joachim Meyer that indicate this. And hopefully we'll get to more of these examples in future weeks...!
It seems to me that you and I have a very similar understanding of the slice mechanics. Then, logically, the use of levers for a response should work. ruclips.net/video/J9GBeJs7ZNo/видео.html

i will not be able to HEMA again without thinking about "Wurst".
YOU'RE WELCOME

Cool, thanks for sharing the neat counter!
