Interpretation
Simple response
One fencer, having been constrained on the inside, sees an opening over his opponent's arm. In the tempo of that constraining, disengages over the sword and makes a rising reverse cut into that opening, intending to strike his opponent's face.[1]
Basic Play
Sequence
- Fencers begin out of measure.
- The agent enters into measure and constrains his opponent's sword on the inside line.
- The patient disengages to make a rising reverse cut to the agent's face, over his arm.
- The agent disengages beneath his opponent's sword and thrusts in fourth into the armpit, catching the rising cut on his false edge .
Key Points
- The agent's sword must be raised high enough to close the line over his arm.
Patient's Error
- The patient's goal was to take the tempo of his opponent's constraining, but he used an action that took too long.
Demonstrated Principals
- What does this play demonstrate from the earlier manuscript. References recommended.
Intelligent Play
Sequence
- Both fencers start out of measure.
- The agent steps into measure and constrains his opponent's blade on the inside.
- The patient raises his sword as though to disengage over and make a rising cut, but this is only a feint.
- The agent attacks in fourth into the armpit.
- The patient parries the thrust
- with a direct cut, and follows this cut with a thrust to the chest in fourth; or
- with a reverse cut, and follows this cut with a false-edge cut to the face.
Key Points
- The patient is feinting a cut. In order to be convincing, the blade and arm must be brought high enough to offer a clear opening to the opponent.
Agent's Error
- The agent was deceived by a feint.
Demonstrated Principals
- What does this play demonstrate from the earlier manuscript. References recommended.
