Great stuff as usual! I always kinda figured one of the reasons posta di donna is that far over the shoulder is for this action.

I have on tip and one observation to add.

The tip is, train the third way with the gear you use, especially if you re-enact. Standard mask may throw you a bit off at first (you can't bring your arm directly to the forehead), and throwing that cut with a kettle hat on is a bit of an acquired skill (and also depends on what specific kettle hat you have).

The observation is that the second way looks almost like a bicorno, or rather a position halfway between a finestra and a bicorno. I'm not sure how useful this observation is, especially since we're never shown bicorno on the right side, it's just something I noticed.

Excellent, j'ai adoré. Très bien illustré.
J'espère faire d'aussi bonne vidéo que vous.
Bonne continuation.

I agree with your interpretation that frontale (the crown) can be applied to the sides of the body and not just in front.

[livrasyt]

Yes. really nice video. and also very informative. A like from me

It's like the flashiest cover in sword-focused martial arts* but it's super situational, in my experience getting enough reps in sparring to do it naturally outside of practice is basically Impossible
*you can see it all over japanese and Chinese MA-related popular media and KrabiKrabong teaches it as a standard parry for some reason.

Great video!
I noticed that often, from a superficial look, your head doesn't seem to be protected because the parrying move ends with the hands - instead of the blade - at head's high. I assume that's because the parry is supposed to happen earlier, during the movement instead of at the end of it. Would you confirm this and possibly expand on it?
