• Tilting the earth – Parallel your sword with the ground and tilt the hilt to guide the opponent’s word into your forte.
• Crossing at the mezza spada with pressure – Push against one another with the true edges turned to the inside. See how when you bring your point over your opponent’s sword they are directed down into your hilt.
