(p.119/#2) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Porta di Ferro Stretta) If your enemy is set in porta di ferro stretta with the right foot forward you will be set in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward; and there you will throw the right foot somewhat near the left, and then you will immediately step with the left foot towards his right side, throwing a mezzo mandritto to his sword hand, that drops subsequently into cinghiara porta di ferro larga; and subsequently you will withdraw the left foot back lifting a rising falso, that ends finally in guardia alta; and if your enemy attacks you here, you will withdraw the right foot back throwing a mandritto to his sword hand, that descends into cinghiara porta di ferro larga; and if he attacks you here you will pass forward with the right foot defending yourself with a falso that does not pass guardia di faccia, and then throw a mandritto to his face or to his sword arm, as you prefer, that then drops into porta di ferro stretta.
