(p.199/#2) (Sword and Small Buckler) (Counter to (#548)) The counter will be that when your enemy thrusts the point near your sword hand, you may turn a rising falso in the form of a montante to his sword hand transforming it into a thrust, and pushing it at the uppermost part of the sword hand, accompanying it with your buckler. Should he drop to reach for your foot, you may give him a roverso to the right temple, or you may throw a mandritto to the flank, settling them into coda lunga stretta with your left foot forward.
