MORE MANEUVERS

Doublé : an attack or riposte that describes a complete circle around the opponent's blade, and finishes in the opposite line.

 

In Quartata : an attack made with a quarter turn to the inside, concealing the front but exposing the back.

 

Flying Parry or Riposte :a parry with a backwards glide and riposte by cut-over.

 

Flick : a cut-like action that lands with the point, often involving some whip of the foible of the blade to "throw" the point around a block or other obstruction.

 

The first three can be mastered after a couple of practices, but the flick requires a lot of practice and a strong arm. It is a very useful move though.
