A redouble is a renewal of the attack when your adversary after guarding does not return. It should be done with great rapidity and in a different line to that of the first attack.

REPRISE ATTACK.

A reprise is a sudden repetition of the attack, after a phrase in which no hit has been got and both have returned to the guard. It must be done with great quickness, so as to catch your adversary a little unprepared.

PLATE XIX.—TIME THRUST WITH OPPOSITION.

PLATE XIX.
Time Thrust with Opposition.

A time thrust can be made when a man feints at your head and tries to deliver a cut under your right arm, or on any part of the right side down to the foot.

As he raises his point to feint, make a straight thrust at his breast with a longe, keeping your hand as high as your right shoulder and a little to the right of it. Palm turned down.

Should you be quick enough, your point will fix on his breast, and his cut will fall on the forte of your sword.

If you are too slow, your thrust will guard his attack, although you may not touch him.
