The Sixth Part

N°. 1. Of Two Breast-Holds

The first breast-hold is with F grasping G on the breast, and G grasping him with the left hand under the arm above the elbow.

2.

But F having thus gripped G, G slaps his right hand on the right hand of F, and twists this hand until F lets go of his breast, G now having his breast freed, twists the right arm of F completely around with his right hand, placing his left hand on the back of this same arm, thus forcing him down.
