(p.123/#1) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Coda Lunga Stretta) If your enemy is set in coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward and you are set in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward; now note that to make this group of attacks that I will here teach you, then you must be somewhat distant from him 43 ; I want you (to start) by throwing a stoccata trivillata to his sword hand, and then you will allow your sword to go into coda lunga lunga, subsequently pulling the left foot somewhat near the right; and subsequently you will pass forward with the right foot feinting an imbrocatta to his face, and as he goes to defend this imbrocatta, you will once again feint, this time with a rising falso in the manner of a montante; and as he goes to beat your montante to the ground or to defend himself in some other way, you will presently pass the left foot in a great pass forward pushing a violent thrust to the right side of his face; and if he defends this thrust in some way, then without moving your feet, you will turn a tramazzone with your wrist onto his head, throwing it in the manner of a fendente, and in such a way that this tramazzone then falls into cinghiara porta di ferro stretta; and if he responds by throwing some attack to your head, you will defend yourself going with the sword into guardia di intrare, and subsequently you will strike his head with a roverso fendente that descends into coda lunga stretta, stepping somewhat forward with the left foot; and if here, he intends to throw some attack at your head, you will defend against it by going with the sword into guardia di testa and presently you will pass the right foot in a great pass towards his left side giving him in that tempo a mandritto fendente onto his head, that descends subsequently into porta di ferro stretta, the left leg following behind the right.
