(p.156/#4) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Coda Lunga Stretta) If your enemy is set with the sword in presence with his right foot forward in coda lunga stretta, you will be set with the left foot forward in coda lunga stretta; and so you will throw a mezzo mandritto to his sword, and subsequently passing with your right foot somewhat towards his left side, you will push a thrust to his chest; and if he should defend in some way, you will immediately make a half turn of the hand, responding to him with another thrust to the chest; and he wanting to defend against this, you can without delay wound his front leg with a mezzo mandritto; and now you will make a second mezzo mandritto rising to his sword hand, and to his sword arm, that does not pass guardia di intrare; then you will withdraw the right foot back, making a half turn of the hand and setting yourself into coda lunga stretta.
