(p.86/#2) (Porta di Ferro Stretta vs. Unstated) Remaining as above in porta di ferro stretta with your right foot forward; with refined skill you will pass your right foot somewhat forward towards his left side throwing a roverso to his sword hand, or to the front leg that ends in coda lunga larga; you will be exposed so that the enemy is provoked to throw an attack to your upper parts; and subsequently you will strike his sword hand or his sword arm with a mezzo mandritto, while the left leg follows somewhat behind the right; and without any delay you will strike his sword hand or sword arm with a thrust; and presently you will make another thrust to his chest, passing in this tempo with your right foot somewhat towards his left side; and if the enemy should throw some attack at you, you will subsequently throw a mezzo mandritto to his sword hand or sword arm, setting yourself then for your security into porta di ferro stretta.
