Hen

Hen
German (“The Hanging” or “to hang”) An important and very versatile long-sword movement referring to positions or actions where the point “hangs” downward from above, covering the body. The Hängen is not a guard (but in a sense, results in one), but an action, or more precisely a series of techniques delivered from the Ochs or Finestra position, usually as a Winden. Sigmund Ringeck described a classic hanging action. Ringeck describes two hanging techniques used when the blades are pressed or crossed, and the point can thrust from under or over. It may be delivered from the Pflug by raising the hilt and closing as the opponent strikes. He also instructs to learn all cuts, thrusts, and slices while in the hanging. Meyer also calls the Hengen a technique. Also called: Hanging Point, Hangetort, Hengetort, hengeten Ort.
