(p.164/#1) (Porta di Ferro Stretta vs. Sword in Presence) If your enemy is set with the sword in presence with his right foot forward and you are set in porta di ferro stretta with the right foot forward; and here you may throw the false edge of your sword into that of your enemy beating it towards his left side, to pass subsequently with your right foot somewhat forward, and pushing a thrust to his chest without making any turn of the hand; but if he should defend said thrust in some way, you will immediately pass with your left foot forward towards his right side, and making in this tempo a half turn of the fist, you will push at him then a punta ferma to the chest; and if he defends against this, you will with great awareness and speed a presa to his sword with your left hand, or you may seize his sword arm; following up with whichever you deem best, giving him immediately a thrust or a cut wherever you please.
