(p.114/#4) (Porta di Ferro Stretta vs. Sword in Presence) Finding yourself set in porta di ferro stretta with the right foot forward and your enemy in porta di ferro stretta or coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward, or he may have the left foot forward, 42 Actual guard is not mentioned in the text but most likely should be guardia di faccia. just so that he has his sword in presence; and there you will feint a thrust to the left side of his chest, and as he makes some movement to defend himself from this thrust, you will subsequently make a sfalsata of your sword under his, passing the left foot forward in this tempo, making a half turn of the hand, and pushing a punta ferma to the right side of the chest; and if he should go to defend himself from this punta ferma in some way, you will make a presa to his sword with your left hand, using all of your strength; and if he pulls his sword back so that you may not make the presa or in some other way escapes, you will subsequently throw an imbrocatta to his face or to his sword arm, that will drop into cinghiara porta di ferro stretta; and if he responds with some attack to strike your upper parts, you will immediately pass the right foot forward pushing a thrust to his face in the mode of guardia di testa, thus defending and striking in the same tempo; and should the enemy not respond do not rest, but push this thrust regardless, for it will make it easy to bring the enemy to mezza spada; and the moment you are joined in mezza spada, you will, with all possible quickness, make a presa to his sword with your left hand, striking him then with the sword wherever you wish.
