ttack.

86. In order that the attack may be changed quickly, as little force
as possible is put into a feint.

Example: Being at the _engage_, _Number one, feint_ head _thrust_; at
stomach, _lunge_; 2. _Number two, parry right and low parry right_; 3.
_ASSAULT_.

Number one executes the feint and then the attack. Number two executes
both parries.

87. In double feints first one part of the body and then another is
threatened and a third attacked.

Example: Being at the _engage_, 1. _Number one, feint straight thrust_
at chest; _disengagement_ at chest; at stomach, _lunge_; 2. _Number
two, parry right, parry left_, and _low parry left_; 3. _ASSAULT_.

88. An opening may be offered or procured by opposition, as in the
_press_ or _beat_.

89. In fencing exercises every feint should at first be parried. When
the defense is able to judge or divine the character of the attack the
feint is not necessarily parried, but may be nullified by a counter
feint.

90. A _counter feint_ is a feint following the opponent's feint or
following a parry of his attack and generally occurs in combined
movements.

COMBINED MOVEMENTS.

91. When the men have become thoroughly familiar with the various foot
movements, parries, guards, attacks, feints, etc., the instructor
combines several of them and gives the commands in quick succession,
increasing the rapidity and number of movements as the men become more
skillful. Opponents will be changed frequently.

1. Example: Being at the _engage_, 1. _Number one, by disengagement_
at chest, _thrust_; 2. _Number two, parry left, right step_ (left foot
first), and _lunge_; 3. _ASSAULT_.

2. Example: Being at _engage left_, _Number one, press_ and _lunge_;
2. _Number two, parry right, left step_, and _thrust_; 3. _ASSAULT_.

3. Example: Being at the _engage_, _Number one, by disengagement_ at
chest, _thrust_; 2. _Number two, parry left, front pass_, and at head
_butt strike_; 3. _Number one, right step_; 4. _ASSAULT_.

92. Examples 1 and 2 are typical of movements known as _cross
counters_, and example No. 3 of movements known as _close counters_.

93. A _chancery_ is an attack by means of which the opponent is
disarmed, which causes him to lose control of his rifle, or which
disables his weapon.

94. When the different combinations are executed with sufficient skill
the instructor will devise series of movements to be memorized and
executed at the command _assault_. The accuracy an
