(p.95/#2) (Coda Lunga Stretta vs. Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward) If your enemy is set with his sword in coda lunga stretta and having his left foot forward, you will be set in coda lunga stretta with your right foot forward; and there you can skillfully feint a stocatta trivillata to the left side of the chest to induce him into then passing forward with his right foot and defending against the thrust with the true edge of his sword, and then making a presa and punta riversa to your chest; so stay aware that in the tempo that he will pass forward, parrying your stocatta trivillata, you will not allow his sword to touch yours, but will throw your sword hand somewhat back and subsequently you will strike his sword hand with a thrust; and if your enemy responds with some attack to your upper parts, you will presently defend yourself, giving him immediately an imbrocatta to his chest doing such that the sword ends in porta di ferro stretta for your security.
