Durchtrit, the tread through in I.33

Talking about a point I made recently that the tread through is possibly another indicator of a circular system. Also that destreza is totally ripped off from I.33;)

Very interesting takes!!! Thanks for the share! I hope to post also my own interpretation (which is very similar btw!!) in the next months!

I believe you are right about the footwork. The way the buckler is used to defend the sword hand makes little sense if you aren't coming from a base of sword-foot forward. The step though, I believe contributes to some of the odd strike angles depicted (I don't concur with many that they must be thrusts).

I'd like to add, in your first play, your finishing strike could just as easily use the false edge with your hand twisted as in the pictures ("plunging blow"). I believe that arc you made naturally, but with a twist to use the false edge is the proper interpretation of the text, though people have come up with wildly different answers.

A question regarding I.33: I believe that Nick Thomas over at the Academy of Historical Fencing mentioned in one of his videos that I.33 does not perform favorably against Renaissance sword-and-buckler styles. Is this more the product of the Renaissance styles using longer swords with more hand protection, or is I.33 as a system simply worse? I have no actual experience doing HEMA, but I'm curious nevertheless.

I still feel that wards 6 and 7 feel more natural left foot forward, and I fear that right foot forward keeps my left shoulder back a little far, making it feel awkward to also pull the sword back. Maybe I just need to get used to it though, you don't want to waste time shifting legs to what feels nicer.

Hi Dave, with your "right-foot forward system" how would you go about 5th ward, I tend to keep a little more distance, with the left foot forward
