Feint at the right temple and deliver a cut under the forearm, or feint
at the outside of the leg and cut at the top of the forearm.
GUARD FOR THE ARM.
THE ENGAGING GUARD.

his shoulder, pass the point of your sword suddenly between his forte
and wrist, and, turning the edge, deliver a drawing cut on the inside of
his wrist, retiring out of distance as you do so.

PLATE XV.
GUARD FOR AN UPWARD CUT AT THE FORK.
This is not a good cut, and I do not recommend its use. To guard it,
draw the right leg up to the first position, and at the same time form
the outside leg guard.
