	Rounds The rounds are two things, Single and Double. The single round is when you twitch off your sword from your opponent’s blade or opening in a swing overhead, and let fly over in the air so that you make a round circle. The double round is this: when you so twitch strongly off from his sword, that it goes over your head two times in full swing overhead, one time to each side, thus both single and double rounds are very serviceable also to Leading On, such that you will see and drive farther onward.	[Ⅰ.20v.2] Rinde. DEr Rinde seind zweierley, Einfach und Doppelt, Einfache Rinde ist, wann du dein Schwerdt von deines gegenparts klingen oder Blöß in einem schwung uber dein Kopff abzuckest, und in der lufft last umbfliegen, also das du ein runden Zirckel machest. Doppel Rinde ist diese, wann du also starck von seinem Schwerdt abzuckest, das es zweymal in vollem schwung uber deinem Haubt umblaufft, zu jeder seiten einmal, welche Rind beide Einfach unnd Doppel sehr dienstlich auch zum verführen seind, wie du solches in den stucken weitleuffiger sehen und erfahren wirst.
