Lesson 26

A lesson I taught at practice yesterday.  Part of the goal of the lesson was to introduce the passing step as described in plate 9 of Capoferro.  To keep everything simple, I taught the lesson right handed.

1. From the instructor’s invitation in 4th, straight thrust
2. From the instructor’s engagement in 4th, disengagement
3. From the student’s engagement in 4th, glide
4. From the student’s engagement in 4th, simple parry of 3rd, riposte by glide
5. Same thing, riposte with a lunge
6. Same as 4, riposte with a passing step
7. From the student’s engagement in 4th, time thrust in 3rd (hand in second)
8. From the student’s engagement in 4th, counterattack with a passing step, hand in 2nd
9. From the instructor’s invitation in 4th, three straight thrusts, end of lesson.
