Source Text and Drawing
This is another way to make him let go, also it is better for getting rid of a lance. Also I say that with force I will strike you in the joint of the hand that holds me by the collar, I will be certain that I will dislodge you, if you do not take it away. I want to explain the counter. When the scholar comes, thus comes with the arms to dislodge the hands of the player, the player immediately takes away their hand from the collar of the scholar. And he can immediately wound him in the chest with the dagger.
