| If a change of line is involved, i.e. from absence of blade in sixte to contact on the outside of the defending blade, or visa versa, it is called a change of engagement. |
| The sixte is to do them also with al mekenesse bothe in spyryte and gesture. |
| The first is narrated by a man named Sixte, who lives in the H6tel de la Vermine et des Rats and loves a woman named Reine. |
| Prises de fer finishing in sixte and octave are to be preferred, since they drive the opponent's blade outside. |
| This is not to say that they cannot be done in these lines but the counter attack should be aware that those lines afford less protection than sixte or octave on the sword arm side. |
| If the hand is on the left side, then the bind from sixte to septime is more appropriate. |
