Mezani (Fol 23r)
System: Fiore: Longsword
Section: Fiore: Longsword: Blows
Source Text and Drawing
We are the mezani [middle] blows because we go between the blows from above and the ones from below. And we go with the true edge from the forehand side, and from the backhand side we go with the false edge. And our way is from the knee to the head.
