(p.54/#4) (Porta di Ferro Stretta as Patiente) If you are set in porta di ferro stretta with the right foot forward against your enemy, and so your body somewhat lowered; and having your sword guard against his right side, there in that positioning you will stay aware that if he should throw at you a stoccata, or any other blow to wound your right side, you will make a half turn of the hand causing his attack to turn up against the true edge of your sword, and in that tempo you will pass the left foot in a great pass forward, and in this step keep the point of your sword directed at his person, pushing your arm as far forward as you are able; the right leg needs to follow somewhat behind the left.
