It looks like Chris' 1st Dagger Master counter is not going to work, because Mark's dagger has been lifted, and I suspect Chris is about to get stabbed in the chest.	Chris, not being able to apply the 1st play of the 1st Master of Dagger, has brought his right hand into play, to force Mark's arm around. From here he can do many different techniques.		Ligadura Mezana	Mark went to apply the Ligadura Mezana to Chris, but got too close. He thought it would be a good idea to smack Chris in the face from here, so that's what he did!
Rob steps in to show how the Ligadura Mezana should be applied. Mark has been locked so well that he has dropped his dagger on the floor. - Matt I would just like to add to this, that although I recovered the situation - I had not applied the Ligadura Mezana properly in that it is to close to my body. - Rob	Chris does his Ligadura Mezzana. Mark bends over to stop his elbow getting dislocated!	John Dodd, explaining to one of our newest members the First Master of Dagger.	Our newest member attempting the technique of the First Master of Dagger.	Jeff Basham (HACA) in front of the Wallace Collection.
Jeff Basham (HACA) demonstrating a thrust from Posta di Fenestre (Window Position) or Ochs.	John Clements (HACA Director) doing a drill in front of the Wallace Collection.	John Clements (HACA Director) conducting more drill.	From left to right; Oz, Rob, Me (Matt), and Chris. We went to the Battle of Tewkesbury for some fun - The only reenactment event we attended in 2000.	Oz (right) shows Chris (centre) and myself (left) some of the guards from I.33, a sword and buckler manual from c.1300, kept in the Royal Armouries.
Experimenting with transitioning through the thrusting posta of Posta Breve, Posta Bichorno and Posta Longa. Also moving between these while traversing - hence learning to defend from a thrust and return one.	Oz shows more guards from I.33. These guards can also be found in other sword and buckler sources, including period artwork.	Showing in slow how to 'break' Chris' thrust, by traversing off line and beating his blade downwards.
