System: Fiore: Longsword
Section: Fiore: Longsword: Zogho Largo
Source Text and Drawing
My master that is before [me] has taught me that when, at half sword, I am crossed with someone, that I must immediately step forwards, and grab his sword in this way, to strike him with cut or thrust. Also, I can destroy his leg in the way that you can see drawn here, by striking him with my foot in the shin, or below the knee.
The scholar that is before me says that his master and mine has taught him this play, and [per vizuda] I do it. To do it, without doubt, it is little trouble for me.
