Source Text and Drawing
If one covers from the forehand side, grab his sword with your left hand in this way, and strike him with a thrust or with a cut. And if you want you can cut his face or his neck with his own sword in the way that is shown. Also when I have struck you well, I can drop my sword and grab yours in the way that the scholar that is after me does.
