(p.190/#2) (Sword and Small Buckler) (Counter to (play #517)) The counter will be, as he steps forward to throw the mandritto fendente over your head, step a little forward, joining your sword and buckler and then jam the point into his face, or at his sword hand, and thereafter redoubling with a roverso to the leg. Deftly using your buckler, you will pass back the right foot, setting your sword into guardia di faccia, and keeping it united with your buckler for your defense.
