Rada - Atajo Primero - Treta 5 - Flaqueza debajo de la fuerza

This is what Francisco Lorenz de Rada described as «Flaqueza debajo de la fuerza» from the First Atajo. Performing: Ton Puey & Manolo González. We made this is quick recording in answer to a Matt Galas' question on a couple of Facebook threads. The interpretation of Verdadera Destreza's «Tretas Generales» (approximately «general techniques») is always a delicate issue -- especially for the composite ones, i.e. «Flaqueza encima de la fuerza» and «Flaqueza debajo de la fuerza». Their real application in freeplay notwithstanding, with this series of videos we want to display our interpretation of the «Tretas Generales» according to Francisco Lorenç de Rada in his «Nobleza de la Espada» (1705).
