(p.192/#5) (Sword and Small Buckler) (Counter to (play #527)) The counter will be, in the moment that your enemy steps forward to lock you up, you may pass left towards his right side extending your false edge to beat his sword towards his left side, immediately throwing a mandritto to his flank, while guarding your head with your buckler. Alternatively when he passes to lock you up, you may lift your sword into guardia alta. Then stepping how you wish, you may hit him with a roverso, pass back the right foot, and throw a mandritto. This mandritto can go to the face along with your buckler, to his sword hand or to the flank, and finally you will settle into cinghiara porta alta di ferro.
