Destreza Spirals Made Easy
The General Tretas
The General Techniques (or Tretas) carry or capture the opposing weapon by creating a spiral with your own weapon.

|
Inside Line (Spiral Counterclockwise) |
Outside Line (Spiral Clockwise) |
|
Half Circle Spiral |
General Technique of Narrowing (Thrust by Glide) |
General Technique of Weak Under (Thrust by Detachment) |
|
Full Circle Spiral |
General Technique of Weak Over (Thrust by Detachment) |
General Technique of Line in Cross (Thrust by Glide) |
NOTE: All the descriptions below assume the opposing weapon is carried by the spiral instead of captured.
From an atajo on the inside line at MdP*, carry the opposing steel in a half
circle counterclockwise to the outside low line and terminate by stepping to
the right to deliver a gliding thrust to the chest.
General Technique of Weak under Strong:
From an atajo on the outside line at MdP*, carry the opposing steel in a half
circle clockwise to the inside low line and terminate by stepping to the right to
deliver a thrust by detachment to the chest.
General Technique of Weak over Strong:
From an atajo on the inside line at MdP*, carry the opposing steel in a complete
circle counterclockwise to the inside high line and terminate by stepping to
the right to deliver a thrust by detachment to the chest.
General Technique of Line in Cross:
From an atajo on the outside line at MdP*, carry the opposing steel in a
complete circle clockwise to the outside high line and terminate by stepping to
the right to deliver a gliding thrust to the chest.
Addition: The Generals can be combined together in such a way that the end of one may form the beginning of another without breaking the spiraling motion.
*MdP = Medio de Proporción or the Defensive Medio\Place.
