It's all pretty simple, since your right wrist is inverted, when you pass by your target, the hilt pushes forward with the rider and the tip of the blade turns down in a counter-clock wise direction which rips up the target even more and allows you to extricate your sabre from the victim. While you are passing by your target, you rotate your right arm backwards and twist your wrist to its normal position which helps you to be able to xtract your blade from your victim.
