(p.111/#1) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Any) Finding your enemy in any guard he wants and you being set in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward; there you will throw a mezzo mandritto to his sword hand, passing somewhat forward in that tempo, the sword descending to cinghiara porta di ferro larga, exposing yourself to give the enemy reason to attack you; and you will be mindful that should he throw any attack at you, you will defend yourself from the incoming attack with the true edge of your sword, knocking the enemy's sword towards his left side, your sword not passing coda lunga alta, and subsequently you will pass the right foot forward feinting an imbrocatta to the chest, and as he goes to defend this imbrocatta in some manner, you will withdraw the sword hand somewhat back, not allowing his sword to touch yours; and then with all possible speed you will throw another imbrocatta, to the chest, to the face, or to the sword arm that will descend into porta di ferro larga.
