To quote "The Art Of Dueling" (pg. 22), because I lack the Italian to make 
my own translation, "Some individuals, more out of arrogance than out of 
knowledge, state that there are certain unstoppable attacks to which there 
is no possible defense or counter. To them I reply out of experience that 
every blow has its counter, and that no blow exists that admits no counter."

Of course, he was wrong, you know...  I *know* the botto segrete. 
Interested parties may contact me off line for free details! (just $200 
shipping and handling, no representation made of suitability for any 
purpose, results not typical, YMMV, etc.).

Justin, Fabris are right (as usual) there was no, nor can there be, a "secret stroke."  What stesso tempo does is take all the wind out of the sails of the attacker in which is best effort is turned against him.  Even if he avoids disaster, the mental effect is usually debilitating for some time in a bout.

However, since that was written, I have also developed a secret stroke.   You need to go to www.lobottosegrete.bz and give me a paypal donation 



(Not an actual site for the gullible!).
