Composed Rule 6

Although rarely does one montante meet with another, when it happens, you should value your knowledge about the nature of all movements, both the steps of the feet as well as the blows of the montante, all of which are derived from the movements of the sword. Based upon those of the sword, you can know the qualities of those for the montante, their weakness or their strength, with the single difference that all the deflections, parries and attacks of the montante must be helped by the movements of the body. In responding to the adversary, you must be prepared to act in accordance with the greater force required by the blows of the montante. This generalization will suffice for those who have the knowledge of the true skill of the sword, which is the foundation of all the arms that have been invented.
