| Master | Student |
|---|---|
| Assumes the F posture
(The image indicates the E posture, but the describing text reads “low 4th, sword withdrawn and dagger high and extended”. I recommend looking at both variations.) |
First Movement: From the C posture with the dagger at the wrist, simulates an attack to the inside high line over the opponent's dagger in 3rd, keeping the dagger in place |
| Parries upward with the dagger and counterattacks with the rapier in either 4th or 2nd | Second Movement: Eludes the dagger parry with an attack by disengagement clockwise to the inside line in 4th, simultaneously parrying with the dagger |
| Receives the Touch |
