How to Sword Fight: The Single Rapier

There is a 17th-century guard with the rapier that is called Mezza Checcio, or Middle Cheek. This is an evolution of Quarta, or fourth, position. This guard is a way to protect yourself from the fencer that just wants to counter thrust instead of protecting themselves first. This guard can be used against a counter thrust or against a cut with a contra-tempo thrust that will protect you and counterattack at the same time.
