System: Fiore: Longsword
Section: Fiore: Longsword: Blows
Source Text and Drawing
We are the thrusts, cruel and mortal. And our way is from the middle of the body, starting at the groin, and ending in the forehead. And we thrusts are of five types, thus: two from above, one from one side and the other from the other. And two from below, similarly one from one side and one from the other. And one in the middle, being from the middle iron door, or from the long guard or the short.
