Duel Redux

Secondé gardé
Rapier to quarte and beat
Disengage to strike

Counter cavatione
Slope pace left
Punta Reversa

Match the slope pace left
Void the punta reversa
Retreating a pace

Half pass back then lunge
Stramazone cut to exposed wrist
Touché! First blood spilt

Ouch! What a bugger!
My arm was exposed again
Change my guard to tierce

Time to finish this duel
Attack the reverse diagonal
Mornington Crescent!



The italics are my friend Rachel from my rapier group, the bold text is me, and the haikus are pretty much what we did last time we fenced each other.
