Lesson 24
At practice today, I taught a lesson based roughly off of plate 8 of Capoferro. I did this left handed, so there are a couple of differences from the actual text. Here’s what we did.
- From the instructor’s invitation in 4th, straight thrust.
- From the instructor’s engagement in 4th, disengagement.
- From the student’s engagement in 4th, glide.
- From the instructor’s engagement in 4th, cut to the thigh.*
- From the student’s engagement in 4th, simple parry of 3rd, riposte by glide (no lunge).
- From the student’s engagement in 4th, time thrust in 3rd.
- From the student’s engagement in 4th, reassemblement (ie plate 8) with a thrust to the face.
- From the student’s engagement in 4th, reassemblement with a cut to the wrist.
- Instructor’s choice, from the student’s engagement in 4th, reassemblement with a thrust to the face or time thrust in 3rd.
- Blade seizure in 4th and glide.
- Blade seizure in 4th, as the instructor attempts a disengagement in time, reassemblement in countertime with a thrust to the face.
- Instructor’s choice to have the student either get the blade seizure or execute the reassemblement in countertime.
- From the instructor’s invitation in 4th, three straight thrusts.

*In the lesson I actually did this just before doing the blade seizure. If I’d thought about it, this would have been a better place to do it.
