Parry from High Guard 2

Latest revision as of 05:29, 15 October 2019

Parry from high guard against an attack to the defender's upper left opening .

Canonically these are performed from reverse grip, but variations can be extrapolated from the orthodox grip.

Meyer also says we can extrapolate a variation of this for attacks to the upper right opening.
