Lessons of the Lines: Sword in One Hand: Grabbing the Pommel 

I have been looking at these plays of the one handed sword and I think this can also flow from the guard of Finestra or Window guard. I think they can origin from a crossing from Siniestra too, just saying... And guards from the left. Also from the bind on your left side when You Cross after the first engagement, often at your left. After that, doing something like the Germans do it, that is, "crooked-cuts" and "handwork" like with the "Circle": while stepping to your left by changing guards from your Long Guard or left guards, crossing your hands left under right lifting high the left hand so that You might strike with the false edge at the blade and possiblily right ear after your first bind... Or misleading cut at oponent's left! You can also activate these plays. Considering Fiori does have some German influence, might actually make that implicit in all of these. There likely are some or many German techniques we are not reading directly. On the matter of the leading foot of the player, I think I just Saw a solution. How can be the plays used agaist somone who does not advance the rear foot to strike? You can Cross, retain and slice swords together, and by doing footwork manouver yourself to find your left foot outside their right, and then step forward with the rear foot to perform your techniques!... Also there are some techniques that I think appear on some other editions of this Flower of Battle, where there are even some specialized covers from the backhand stroke from the sword for the narrow play... So all of this might have been actually considered! I just always wondered about the matter, could he (Fiori) have been possiblily ignored the fact some people does not advance the rear foot?... But not actually, You just need to move to archive the figure, maybe striking and pushing, pulling... Stomps, mule kicks?... But the play Will eventually appear. Just saying. 😅
