The stramazzone, or vertical cut, is sometimes employed.

The false edge can be used with cut I at the back of the neck, cut 5 at the left side or back part of the left arm, or with cut 3, which is delivered at the back part of the left ham, when it is known as the “coup de Jarnac.”

The true edge cuts 3 and 4, at or below the knee, we do not permit, on account of the danger of inflicting serious injury.

PARRIES.

It is as well to designate the defensive movements of the buckler by modern terms, thus :—

Tierce—parries cut I, by raising the buckler to the left front.

Quarte—parries cut 2, by raising it to the right front.

Seconde—parries cut 3, by dropping it to the left front.

Septime—parries cut 4, by dropping it to the right front.
