From Swordschool
Revision as of 13:48, 1 September 2020 by Guy Windsor (talk | contribs)
This drill establishes the four most critical (because hardest to distinguish) crossing conditions, all of which happen middle to middle.
From the perspective of the one who executes the plays:
1: sword goes wide: which leads to the 2nd play of the second master of zogho largo
2: sword stays close, no pressure in the bind: 3rd play of the second master of zogho largo
3: swords are close, some pressure in the bind but inside line stays open: 2nd play of the master of zogho stretto.
4: swords are close, more pressure in the bind, closing inside line and opening the outside: 3rd play of the master of zogho stretto.
