1st Master — 13th Play
Section: Fiore: Abrazare
Source Text and Drawing

Because you have grabbed me with your arms under mine, [with] both of my hands I will strike you in the face. And if you had been armoured, with this play I would be released. The counter of this play is that if the scholar that became injured by the player in the face, places his right hand under the elbow of the player, thus of the left arm, and pushes it hard, the scholar would remain free.
