(p.53/#1) (Porta di Ferro Stretta vs. Porta di Ferro Stretta) (Continuation from #9) But if your enemy has the sword in such a way that it guards against your left side and you are set in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward, you will be advised that as soon as you will have seen that the enemy has the sword in this fashion you will presently pass the right foot in a great pass towards his left side; and in this passing you will make a half-turn of the hand driving the true edge of your sword into that of your enemy pushing it as hard as you can towards his right side, or knocking it towards the ground; and presently behind his sword, you will push a thrust to the flank, the left foot needs to follow the right and the sword needs to find itself ending in guardia di intrare, turning the body well; and if the enemy lifts up his sword high to defend against said thrust, you will immediately pass the left foot forward, seeing if there is some way you can make a presa to his his sword hand or to his sword with your left hand.
