(p.100/#1) (Coda Lunga Alta vs. Coda Lunga Alta) Finding your enemy in any guard he wants; you will act as though you intend to hurl yourself forward with great force with your left forward and the sword in coda lunga alta; acting as if you will give him an imbrocatta to his face, showing yourself to be unreasonable; nevertheless you will go very warily because if he throws some cut to wound you, then you may withdraw the left foot and in moving it from its place you will give him a mandritto to his sword hand; or an imbrocata or a rising falso whichever will seem most suitable in the moment; and if he doesn't respond to your attack with some counterattack of his own you will be able to easily take his sword with your left land and give him subsequently a thrust or cut anywhere you want.
