I missed something: "Posta di falcone is one of only 2 guards that doesn't have a (????).... Parry...? Pair...? Pear...? I assume pair, presumably meaning its only done on one side...?
If most cuts from Posta Vera Fenestra are basically rotating back into Posta Di Falcone prior to the strike itself, what advantages does Vera Fenestra bring to the table? Looks to me like it adds an extra step (tempo) to every cut except the low rising ones. Is there something extra here? Does it provide better cover?
Hey Laury! Great question, I'll start anecdotally and move into some theory. So personally, the small tempo change from working in a high, point forward, cutting guard comes with a break in period if you're used to a shoulder guard. There is a trade off in speed that comes at the expense of keeping the point forward no doubt, but when this is adjusted for by the fencer it becomes negligible. What you gain from keeping the point forward is better coverage of the high mandritto & Riverso lines as you stated. But also the ability to bring the point online to positions that equally cover the right and left lines (Sagittaria & Breve Longeza), as well as easily transition to a rotare with your wrists and sword pre-aligned for a stramazzone. Once more with Vera Fenestra & Frontale, you are able to stay in a left or right profiled position, allowing us to follow Vadi's prescription of "facing to where we turn" and "remaining side-on" this profiling in these guards allows us to take full advantage of his demi lunge footwork. Hopefully this explanation was comprehensive enough for you, and if you have anymore questions, please feel free to ask!
I can’t understand how I managed to miss your channel ‘till now! Good work!!!

@jasonbaldwin2171 You got it my guy, Posta Falcone is one of only two guards that doesn't have a pair, meaning it's only done on the dominant side
Liam Neeson would be proud!
