Nachraisen

German (“traveling after” or “attacking after”) A timed attack immediately after the adversary’s own attack. One of the three ways of overcoming an opponent’s attack (contrasted with Gleich Fechten or In Des Fechten and Vor Fechten). An advanced concept of inviting the opponent to attack rather than taking the offensive, as is the general tenet of German swordsmanship. These are techniques in which the opponent is allowed to attack first, then counterattacked when he is either in the middle of his strike, or after his strike has missed.
