I’m not sure how the initial cut is supposed to work here, but it sure looks interesting.

It happens like this in the Prechfennster (Speaking Window): stand with your right foot forward and hold your hilt in front of your head such that your thumbs are underneath, the point is high on your right side, and you look out at the opponent between your arms (as in left side of illustration). Drop the sword down on your right side as you step in with your left foot and strike him powerfully to the head.
