“…the arm should be straitened, and the wrist raised above the head, and the point dropt in line to the adversary’s breast; being thus situated, you must throw your wrist forward, stepping immediately, or longe about two feet beyond your guard; the left heel, and knee, should be in a perpendicular line, the point of the foot in a line to the knee, and the right heel in a line to the left; the left foot should be plumb to the ground, and not move, heel or toe.
And observe, that when the arm stretches forth in order to thrust, the foot must follow at the same time; the body should be very upright, the left leg stretched, and the left hand should hang down in a line with the left thigh, about one foot distance, with the hand open, nails downward, and fingers close.
