Learning Fiore De Liberi

We are two guards, one made like the other, and one is the contrary of the other. And in every other guard in the art, one is similar to the other and its contrary save the guards which stay in point which are Posta Longa, and Breve and Meza Porta di Ferro where point against point the longest offends first.

And what one can do, so can the other.

Each guard can do Volta Stabile and Mezza Volta.

Volta Stabile is when standing still you can play in front and behind on one side.

Mezza Volta is when you make a step forward or backward, and this way play to the other side infront and behind.

Tuta Volta is when you about one foot with the other foot, one stays still and the other circles it.

And I can say that the sword has three movements which are volta Stable, Mezza Volta and Tuta Volta.

And these guards are both called Posta di Donna.

Also there are four things int he art which are to pass, to turn, to acrease and decrease.
