Of
the manner of doing the Trabuchetto grave.
One
does the Trabuchetto grave in this manner, that is; Finding the body
with feet
even, widen the left foot 1 handspan distant from the right to the
flank in the
manner of a hop; and in the same time which the left rests on the
ground, raise
the right, arriving it about 2 inches near to the left gracefully on
the points
of the feet, holding both the legs well extended, not touching
therefore the
ground with the right foot; then withdrawing the right foot to the
place where
it was found, return with the left to do the effect which will have
been done
with the right: be careful to wantonize some at each Trabuchetto, and
to do it
with agility and dexterity of the body: and avoiding doing it as others
are
accustomed to, the which after having in the start done the hop with
the left
foot, in accompanying, as was said, the right to that, throwing it with
the
point of the foot as much clumsily behind the left, which appears most
quickly
to throw thrusts, which the other: and doing the same then with the
left: the
effect of which is to guard oneself: and the use of which we owe to
correct,
and to amend. The time of each of these
Trabuchetti is one perfect beat of music.
Reconstruction of the Trabuchetto grave
The Trabuchetto minimo has to be done in the same manner as the grave, except which the time of this is not but half of the other, whence when in one perfect beat of time is done one Trabuchetto grave, in the same beat we have to do 2, and this enough as much as the Trabuchetti.
