21,208"But if they're Hard and Strong on your sword and want to press and push you aside firmly, then be Soft and Weak against their Strength, and weaken their Strength and pressure with your sword. As you weaken and their sword goes aside, then before they can recover, seek their exposures with cutting, thrusting, or slicing, swiftly, rapidly, and boldly, so that they cannot cut nor thrust, nor otherwise come to blows."
Anonymous 15th Century Fencing Master in the Pol Hausbuch (MS 3227a)
