7. Step to your left while letting your sword point wheel round to strike under his arms with a roverso rota,
8. And strike again with a mandritto fendente.

If you strike a mandritto, then beware,
His roverso so he doesn’t strike you,
Make it that your sword
Parries with a fendente, so you are not caught.
