(p.190/#3) (Sword and Small Buckler) (Guardia Alta vs. Guardia di Faccia) Beat your enemy's sword to your left with the rim of your buckler. You may then immediately step forward with your right foot and give him a roverso to the right temple or a mandritto tondo to the leg, flank, or sword hand. Or having batted aside his sword, you may pass with your left foot towards his right side, hitting his right temple with a roverso spinto. Your right leg will follow behind the left and as your sword will go into coda lunga alta, you will have set yourself up to gather back your left foot and settle with your sword and buckler into guardia di faccia.
