(p.124/#4) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Coda Lunga Stretta with Either Foot Forward) If your enemy is set in coda lunga stretta with either foot forward you will be in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward; and there you will feint a mezzo roverso to his front leg, and then with all possible speed, you will make another feint of pushing a thrust to his face, stepping somewhat forward in this tempo; and as makes some movement to defend himself from this thrust, you will subsequently hit his front foot with a roverso spinto in the manner of a fendente, then you will go immediately to his sword hand with a rising mezzo mandritto; and so then you will withdraw the left foot back setting yourself into porta di ferro stretta.
