Interpretations of Francisco Lórenz de Rada Atajo 1- 8, by Phil Swift
Quick demonstrations of Atajo and wounding techniques.
Transverse or Diagonal steps after the Atajo's towards the left aka 1-2 should be done like at 6:22, which is more forward from the angle created by the initial curved Atajo step, with the front foot pointing at the adversary/opponent (my sword was longer than my fiance's sword so I did not want to hit her, since she had no protective gear on.)

Rada's Nobility of the Sword... Book 2, p.41-42 (1705)
Atajo is in the Art an impediment that is caused in the opponent’s Sword, with contact or without it. Atajo of greater potential is the one that deprives the opponent’s Sword of more. Atajo of lesser potential is the one that deprives the opponent’s sword of less.
