(p.101/#1) (Sword in Presence vs. Unstated) Finding yourself with your right foot forward against your enemy and having your sword in presence, and your enemy thrusting to bring you to mezza spada, true edge to true edge, in a manner similar to guardia di intrare; you will be mindful that if here he wants to strike your sword arm with a rising mezzo mandritto, you will immediately make a half turn of the hand defending yourself with a mezzo roverso thrown in the manner of a ridoppio; and subsequently, you will pass the left foot forward pushing a punta ferma to his flank, and you may perhaps also make a presa to his sword with your left hand; and if you don't want to pass forward with the left foot, you may instead step forward with your right foot, making a mezzo roverso in the manner of a ridoppio in defense against his mezzo mandritto, throwing immediately an imbrocatta to his chest that will stop in porta di ferro stretta.
