(p.125/#1) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Any) Finding your enemy in any guard he wants, you will be placed in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward; and there you will throw a stoccata trivillata to his sword hand allowing the sword to go subsequently into coda lunga lunga, and in that tempo you will pull the left foot somewhat near the right; and immediately you will feint an imbrocatta to his face, passing the right foot forward in a great step, and as he makes some move to defend against this imbrocatta, you will subsequently make a half turn of the hand, pushing an underhand stoccata underhand to his sword hand, and with this stocatta there is more to do, for as he withdraws his hand back, lest it be wounded, or as he goes to parry your stoccata, you will, with all possible speed, throw a fendente spinto to his front foot, and immediately you will go at his sword hand with a rising mezzo mandritto, setting yourself then with the sword in porta di ferro stretta.
