| Agent | Patient |
| Agent assumes a True Guard position outside of measure. | Patient assumes a True Guard position outside of measure. |
| Agent steps into measure, beginning a lunge with an Imbrokata to the Patient’s dagger hand. (This sequence assumes the Patient is using a dagger with minimal hand protection.) | |
| | Patient pulls their dagger hand back, making the thrust fall short. Patient’s rapier sweeps across to parry the thrust clear of their left side. |
| Agent disengages under the Patient’s rapier and begins a straight stock to the patient’s chest. Agent’s dagger drops to brace against the middle of their rapier, making the thrust much more difficult to parry. | |
| | Patient, unable to parry the doubled thrust with just their rapier, is hit in the chest. |
| Agent recovers to True Guard and retreats out of range. | |
