(p.104/#1) (Porta di Ferro Larga vs. Sword in Presence with the Right or Left Foot Forward) Finding yourself set in porta larga di ferro with the right foot forward and your enemy having his sword in presence with his right foot or left foot forward; you will step extremely quickly with the the right foot somewhat forward, driving your true edge into your enemy's sword, beating it upwards in the way of defending yourself in guardia di testa; and presently you will turn a mandritto tondo across his front leg; and immediately for your security you will retire the right foot back, throwing a roverso to his sword hand that drops into coda lunga larga.
