(p.87#1) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Coda Lunga Stretta) If your enemy is set in coda lunga stretta with his right foot forward, you will be set in coda lunga stretta with your left foot forward; and there you will make a mezzo mandritto to his sword beating it towards his right side and subsequently you will pass your right foot forward, feinting a thrust to his chest; and as he goes to defend against this thrust you will not allow the swords to touch, but with skill, you will throw the sword hand somewhat back; and presently you will either give him a thrust to his sword hand, or strike his sword hand with a rising falso that does not pass guardia di faccia; then giving him presently a thrust to the sword hand or to the sword arm; and then you will immediately withdraw your right foot back setting yourself with the sword in coda lunga stretta.
