(p.154/#6) (Coda Lunga Stretta vs. Coda Lunga Stretta or Porta di Ferro Stretta) If your enemy is set in coda lunga stretta, or in porta di ferro stretta with his right foot forward, you will be in coda lunga stretta with your right foot forward; and there making a falso tondo with the sword strongly grasped, you will throw it to his face, or his sword, then subsequently you will pass with your left foot forward towards his right side, feinting a mandritto to the head; and as he goes to defend against it in some way, you will throw a roverso to his front leg or to his sword arm, or to his sword hand, and this roverso will not go past coda lunga stretta; now, if he should respond with some attack to your upper parts, you will go with the sword into guardia di testa for your defense, and pass subsequently with your right foot towards his left side, turning a rising mandritto to his sword hand, or to his sword arm, making your left leg follow behind the right, and making your sword stop in porta di ferro alta.
