(p.129/#2) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Right Foot Forward vs. Sword in Presence) If your enemy has his sword in presence with either foot forward, you will place yourself into coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward; and there you will make a falso impuntato to his sword hand and to his sword, turning subsequently a mandritto tondo to his sword hand that goes to guardia sopra braccio; and from there you will immediately make your feet turn one after the other with dexterity going somewhat forward and in this motion you will feint a roverso tondo across his right temple, and if he should make some movement or move his sword forward such that his point is directed at your sword arm to defend himself as will be obvious or as necessity will compel him, you will, with all possible speed, make a presa to his sword with all your strength, and subsequently you will pass the left foot forward giving him a roverso across his head or wherever you wish.
