I wish Kal had shown the blade actually striking-I think the main thing you have going for your interpretation would be the "also along his sword" bit and the lack of foot work.
Speaking of which-why do you step with the Zucken, but not the initial Zornhau? :-/
@drfang68 I wish Kal had, too. The step *is* part of the Zornhau, I'm just following the blow. As with many of the techniques, you do the initial action, then step as you thrust; it's the same, for example, as the Schielhau breaking Pflug. It's just that the hands are so much faster than the feet that much of the play can happen before your feet finish stepping.
