- Seeing the adversary\u2019s resting guard places his blade is out of line, the diestro strikes immediately before the adversary can move.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Apropiado :\u00a0<\/strong>The adversary is in motion carrying the weapon off the path to the target.\u00a0 During the motion, the diestro stikes him in the same time.\u00a0 The diestro was given an opportunity to strike by the adversary\u2019s dispositive movement.<\/p>\n\n- The adversary attempts to elude an atajo by lifting the point. During the violent movement (rising) the diestro strikes with a thrust in the same time.\u00a0 (in time)<\/li>\n
- The adversary attempts to parry a thrust with an atajo on the inside line. During the offline movement of the atajo the diestro redirects the thrust to the chest into a clockwise circular thrust to the flank.\u00a0 (half circular thrust in second intention)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Transferido:\u00a0<\/strong>The adversary was attempting to strike and during the final movement of the attack was defeated and struck.\u00a0 The diestro has stolen the enemy\u2019s opportunity and transferred it to himself.<\/p>\n\n- The adversary executes a thrust. The diestro defeats the thrust with an atajo and responds with a thrust to the chest. (parry-riposte)<\/li>\n
- The adversary executes a thrust. The diestro defeats the thrust by stepping offline, presenting the right angle, and the adversary is struck in the same time.\u00a0 (counterattack)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
But wait\u2026 there\u2019s more!<\/strong><\/h4>\nEttenhard expands the scope to more than just attacks.\u00a0 He applies these relative timings to more contexts such as finding Medio de Proporcion (Defensive Medio) and gaining strength in the bind.\u00a0 That liberates the concept of attack, attack in time, parry-riposte from solely the attacking realm into broader conceptual space.<\/p>\n \n- We can speak now of taking good measure, being given good measure, and stealing good measure with counter-footwork.<\/li>\n
- We can take the bind, be given the bind, or steal the bind with counter-bladework.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
