Subject: [CFML] Spanish Fencing Article - The Atajo

Hello all,

I have published an article on the Spanish defensive technique called the
Atajo.
http://www.puckandmary.com/blog_puck/2011/06/spanish-fencing-the-atajo/

From a classical fencing perspective it is similar to an engagement, parry,
or blade seizure with some key differences that can potentially lead an
interpreter astray.  From a historical perspective it could be considered
theoretically similar to the Italian finding of the sword (trovare di
spada).
