(p.142/#1) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Coda Lunga Stretta or Porta di Ferro Stretta) Finding your enemy in coda lunga stretta, or in porta di ferro stretta, with the right foot forward, you will be in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward; and there you will feint a thrust to his right flank, and as soon as he should want to defend against this feint, you will immediately pass with your right foot towards his left side, pulling back the sword hand, and in the same motion, turning subsequently a mezzo mandritto or a falso strongly to his sword, knocking it towards his right side; and then immediately you will push a thrust to his chest, or throw a roverso to his face, or a roverso to his sword arm, that descends into coda lunga larga; and now the left leg needs to follow behind the right; if he should attack in some way, you will be able to throw a rising falso to his sword hand, and for your defense you will withdraw the right foot back giving him subsequently a roverso to his sword hand, and the sword will descend into coda lunga larga.
