(p.194/#3) (Sword and Small Buckler) (Counter to (play #535)) Your counter will be thus: as your enemy feints the tramazzone to your head, you will defend by extending a thrust under your buckler that goes to guardia di faccia. Then when he tries to beat aside your sword with his buckler, you will not let his buckler touch your sword. In that moment you will skillfully throw two tramazzoni one after the other, the final tramazzone will end in porta stretta di ferro and in this way you will have made yourself safe from the roverso spinto; and in all of this you will defend your head with your buckler.
