This play is part of Diogo Gomes de Figueyredo's Memorial / Of the Practice of the Montante.

Translation

This rule is for fighting with people in front and behind; do it by giving a talho from behind with the opposite foot which is the left, and another forward putting in the right foot, readying a thrust over the right arm which you will give to the rear, removing again the right foot. Then the left foot will go with a revez, turning the body towards where you gave the thrust. Next you will give a talho forward with the same opposite foot, and another putting in the right foot readying the same thrust, which you will give with the right foot to the rear, and successively a revez entering with the left foot, and then the two talhos starting again with the opposite foot, all corresponding to the opposition against you.
