Interpretation/Notes: The couplet clearly illustrates a two fold capability of the deployment of the boar's tooth to a longa attack. It suggests that the deployment of the boar's tooth will enable one to take/throw the zugadore to the ground, and failing this, or possibly, in addition to this, being able to dislocate the left arm (the arm being the focus of the boar's tooth).

Application: The Pisani-Dossi (PD) version of Liberi's treatise is structured slightly different than the Gettys' version in that explicit demarcation of the next master is not clear in this PD version. However, the identification of the master's section is highlighted in this online presentation which is based on information and illustrations found in the Getty's version. The first master illustrates basic grapples such as the boar's tooth, leg grab, face push, etc. all from the perspective of a patient agent who had received the initial grapples (attack) from the agent. This encompasses the first 5 illustrations in the PD treatise.

The agent¹ grasps the patient agent's² (the master wearing the crown) shoulder with his left hand, and attempts to grab the patient's left hip. The patient agent thrusts his left hand forward to grip the elbow/upper right arm of the agent, and deploy the boar's tooth (denti di zenchiar) on the outside the agent's elbow, striking the elbow with the heel of the right hand as it passes by upwards and continues with the upward motion of the right arm, pressing against the arm now with the elbow upwards while maintaining the agent's left wrist locked on the neck, taking down the agent. The patient agent must not bend down or over while deploying this hold otherwise, the maneuvre can be compromised and the agent may break away. This technique is successfully deployed when the patient agent includes his/her left hand in the play.
