Überlauffen

German (“overrunning”)

1. The concept of timed counter-attack by outreaching the adversary just as they attack, you move into or out of their action and strike their closer targets exposed by their own attack. To outreach an opponent who attacks a distant target by targeting one closer. If the opponent attacks a lower target, the swordsman doesn’t bother to parry; rather, he simply attacks a higher (and therefore closer) target, outreaching the opponent. Typically a thrust, or a cut using the very tip of the blade.

2. Any cut or thrust over the opponent’s weapon, when he attacks the lower openings.
