(p.177/#4) (Sword in Two Hands) (False Edge to False Edge Counter to (play #462)) The counter is, that being with your opponent false edge to false edge and with the right foot forward, you will not move as he cross hes his arms and places his hands to the middle of his sword, but as he passes forward with the right foot striking with his quillon to your sword to prepare a pommel strike to the face; these it will be possible in this tempo to abandon one's sword with the left hand, and passing forward towards the attacker's right side it will be possible to take with the left hand the right arm of the opponent pushing towards his left side; and striking him subsequently to the head with a fendente or to the face with the pommel.
