(p.62/#3) (Coda Lunga Stretta vs. Coda Lunga Stretta) If your enemy is set in coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward you will be in the same guard; there you will feint a mezzo mandritto to his sword, to induce him into avoiding your sword and making a sfalsata of his sword under yours to then stab you in the chest, and because he will do this your mezzo mandritto must stop in porta di ferro stretta; so that now as he avoids your sword and disengages his sword under yours to stab you in the chest you will make a half turn of your hand passing the left foot towards his right side, you can push behind his sword a thrust to the chest, your right leg following the left, the sword going into coda lunga alta with the arm extended as far forward as possible.
