Source Text and Drawing
This is another pommel strike. And you can do it immediately if the face is uncovered, do it without doubt. This can be done in armour and unarmoured. With this play you can knock four teeth out of someone’s mouth, as he has tested. And you could throw the sword to the neck if you wanted, as is done by this scholar that comes after me.
