(p.111/#3) (Coda Lunga Stretta vs. Sword in Presence) If your enemy is set with the sword in presence with either foot forward, you will be set in coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward; and there you will feint a thrust to his chest or sword hand, once or twice; but then with all possible speed you will throw a roverso fendente onto the front foot, turning then immediately a rising falso to the sword hand that should not pass guardia di faccia if possible ; then you will settle with the sword in porta di ferro stretta; and note that the roverso fendente goes not so much for striking the foot, as to strike his sword hand.
