Rising & Lateral: We are continuing to explore defenses from various quadrants against lines of attack this week. The attacks we’re focusing on now are the rising (sottani) and midline (mezzani) blows.

Against the Thrust: Continuing on our topic of quadrant defenses with the longsword, we now look at how to break and exchange a thrust from the opponent from each of the quadrants.
