Here begins then or now the manner of fencing with the buckler.
The first piece out of the high point
When you strike the high cut towards the man, put your pommel inside on the buckler towards the thumb and thrust from low to high towards his face. Turn against his sword and let it fly. This goes to both sides.
The second piece out of the low cut
When he strikes from above towards you outwards from his right armpit, turn against him on your left side against your buckler. Thus you will move in both bucklers. Then turn your right side and raise towards his face. If he defends this and lifts his buckler, take his left leg. This also goes to both sides.
The third piece out of the change cut
Raise from the left side off of the buckler high on his sword, then strike from the left side towards his head. Turn fully exposed, and thrust towards his face. If he lifts with his buckler and his sword and if he defends, then with the long edge strike towards his right leg. This also goes to both sides.
The fourth piece out of the middle cut
Perform the defense[1] to both sides and the half launch[2] with the long edge. Thrust him below towards his genitals.
The fifth piece
Act as if you want to thrust him towards his left side over his buckler, and move in with your tip or point through below. Thrust from his face towards his stomach, and from this turn downwards to your left side. If he defends this, then take his right leg with the long edge.
The sixth piece
Take your blade to your buckler in the left hand and defend against him. If he strikes or thrusts above towards your face or below towards your leg, remove your right hand from the sword and parry him with the buckler and sword. With your right hand take his buckler well down and press on your right side. Thus you take it from him.
