IV. COD^EINED KOVEMENTS. 



46. The purpose of combined movements is to develop more 

 vigorous attacks and more effective defenses than are obtaine<l 

 by the single movements; to develop skill in passing from at- 

 tack to defense and the reverse. Every movement to the front 

 should be accompanied by an attack, which is increased in 

 effectiveness by the forward movement of the body. Every 

 movement to the rear should ordinarily be accompanied by a 

 parry and should always be followed by an attack. Movements 

 to the right or left may be accompanied by attacks or defenses. 



47. Not more than three movements will be used in any 

 combination. The instructor should first indicate the num- 

 ber of movements that are to be combined as two movements 

 or three movements. The execution is determined by one 

 command of execution, and the position of guard is taken 

 upon the completion of tlie last movement only.
