(p.91/#2) (Porta di Ferro Stretta vs. Sword in Presence) Finding your enemy with the sword in presence and his right foot forward, you will be settled opposite him in porta di ferro stretta with the right foot forward; and there you will engage his sword with your false edge with your arm extended as far forward as possible in the the manner of guardia di faccia; and subsequently you will pass the left foot forward making a half turn of the hand pushing a punta ferma to his chest, and note that this is done in the manner of an overhand imbrocatta as we have have explained elsewhere; and if he responds to the punta ferma with a sfalsata, you will give up the punta ferma, and defend against his sfalsata with your true edge in the manner of a mezzo mandritto; then without delay you will pass the right foot towards his left side giving him a thrust to the chest, or a roverso to the face; the left leg needing to now follow behind the right, and the sword to settle then in porta di ferro stretta.
