GUARD FOR THE HEAD (PRIME).

Raise the hand until it is opposite the right temple, with the upper

knuckles level with the top of the head, so that you can see under the

forte of the sword without lowering the chin. Point well advanced, and

nearly opposite to the left elbow, so as to cover the left cheek and

breast. Edge upwards. Arm slightly bent, with elbow turned up and hidden

behind the hilt.

A short man should form this guard a little higher than the right

temple.
