Обзор
The Winding (Winden) subfamily covers the blade manipulation techniques performed when two longswords are crossed in the bind (Binden), one of the most distinctive and sophisticated aspects of the German tradition. [1] Winding involves rotating the sword around the axis of the bind — by turning the hands and hips — to change the angle of threat from a cut-line to a thrust-line or vice versa, without breaking contact with the opponent's blade. [1],[2] Winding is governed by the principle of Fühlen (feeling) — sensing the opponent's pressure through the crossed blades to determine whether they are hard or soft in the bind, and responding accordingly. [2],[3]
История и происхождение
Winding is a core concept of the Liechtenauer tradition that has no direct parallel in most other sword arts, making it one of the most distinctive features of German longsword. [1] The glossators describe Winden as the art of turning the sword from above to below and from below to above within the bind to find openings. [2],[3]

Эффективность
Winden (Winding) is the core close-range technique of the Liechtenauer tradition, executed from the bind (when blades are in contact) by rotating the sword to direct the point at the opponent's openings while maintaining blade pressure. [1] It is arguably the most important intermediate-to-advanced technique in the German system because it enables the fencer to attack from the bind without separating from the opponent's blade, maintaining control and preventing counter-attacks. [2] Liechtenauer's Zettel places Winden alongside the concept of Fühlen (feeling the opponent's pressure through the blade) as the key to winning in close-range combat. [3]

Биомеханический механизм
Primary Action — Cutting, thrusting, or striking with a bladed weapon — edge alignment and trajectory determine cutting effectiveness
Joints Involved — Wrists (edge alignment and rotation), elbows (extension for thrusts, chambering for cuts), shoulders (arc of the cut), hips (power generation)
Force Vector — Varies — downward diagonal cut (kesa-giri), horizontal cut (yoko-giri), thrust (tsuki), or rising cut (kiri-age)
Weapon Mechanic — Edge alignment (hasuji) is critical — the blade must travel along its cutting plane for effective cuts
Позиция и вход
From ready stance (chudan-no-kamae or equivalent) — Assume guard position, establish distance (ma-ai), execute the cut or thrust when an opening appears
From engagement distance — Use footwork to close to striking range, execute the technique with proper edge alignment (hasuji)
As counter — Wait for the opponent's attack, deflect or avoid, and counter-cut to the exposed target

Заметки по тренировке
✓Winding (Winden) is the core technique of German longsword at the bind — when the swords are in contact, the fighter rotates their sword to find openings while maintaining pressure on the opponent's blade (Tobler, Fighting with the German Longsword, 2004)
✓Winding occurs in the Krieg (war/struggle at the bind): when both swords meet and remain in contact, the next action is determined by winding
✓The four windings: from the bind, the sword can wind to Ochs (high, point at face) or Pflug (low, point at chest) on either side — creating four possible positions
✓Winding uses the principle of Fühlen (feeling): the fighter reads the opponent's pressure through the blade contact and responds accordingly
✓Strong and weak at the sword: when winding, the fighter determines if they are strong (pushing) or weak (being pushed) at the bind and responds appropriately
✓If strong at the bind: wind to the opening and thrust. If weak at the bind: wind away and cut to a different opening
✓Winding is what separates advanced longsword fighting from basic cut-and-parry: it is the technique of the bind that creates finishing opportunities
Типичные ошибки
!Disengaging from the bind instead of winding — the bind is where the fight is won; don't retreat from it
!Winding without feeling the opponent's pressure — Fühlen (feeling) determines the correct winding direction
!Winding to the wrong opening — if strong at the bind, wind to the near opening; if weak, wind away
!Using force instead of technique at the bind — winding uses leverage and angle, not strength
!Not maintaining sword contact during the wind — the blade must stay in contact to control the opponent's sword
!Winding without following up — the wind creates an opening; the thrust or cut must follow immediately
!Only winding to one side — all four winding positions must be trained for complete coverage

Часто задаваемые вопросы
What's the most common mistake people make when winding?
The most common mistake is not actually winding onto the sword—people wind in place instead of winding onto the weak of their opponent's front sword. Another frequent error is rotating the sword before pulling back, which can get you caught on the cross.
How should I move my hands and body when executing winden?
Winden is primarily driven by your left hand while your right hand relaxes. You must pull your sword straight back while keeping your heel in front of your head, and critically, you must shove the weapon to the side—just pulling back alone isn't enough. According to Jack Harmsworth, lean in with your body instead of just extending your arms to maximize power and stability.
What footwork should I use with winden?
Use a gathering step: gather in with your back foot as you wind while simultaneously stepping off with your front foot. It's crucial that the winding and footwork happen together consecutively rather than sequentially, as doing them one after the other wastes time you don't have.
How fast should winden be and how far should I extend?
Winden must be very fast and snappy—done at speed it should look quick and fluid. Don't go past the point of control on the blade or lift any further up than necessary, as this takes time you don't have and risks losing control of your opponent's weapon.
