(p.155/#4) (Unstated vs. Porta di Ferro Stretta or Coda Lunga Stretta) If your enemy is set with the sword in presence in porta di ferro stretta or in coda lunga stretta; and there you will feint a thrust to his right side, passing somewhat forward with the right foot; and if he should defend against this in some way, you will now withdraw your sword somewhat back, feinting another thrust to the left side of his chest; and he wanting to defend against this, you will immediately make a sfalsata of your sword under his, passing subsequently with your left foot towards his right side and pushing a thrust to the chest, making in this tempo a turn of the hand, such that your sword will end in coda lunga stretta.
