(p.86/#1) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Coda Lunga Stretta or Porta di Ferro Stretta) If your enemy is set in coda lunga stretta or porta di ferro stretta with the right foot forward, you will be in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward; and there with refined skill you will throw a mezzo mandritto to his sword hand; and whether he steps back or remains in place, you will pass your right foot forward in a great pass towards his left side with all possible speed and push a thrust to his chest; and the left leg will follow the right foot forward and the sword will go into porta di ferro stretta; or if you don't like this option of thrusting to the chest, you will still throw the mezzo mandritto to the sword hand, and then immediately push a second thrust to sword hand or the sword arm and when you will do these blows you will step forward; and so the left leg subsequently follows behind the right and the sword needs to go into porta di ferro stretta.
