(p.171/#1) ( Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward; Counter to (play #434)) One's counter to this attack is to not allow his sword to strike your own, but to avoid his sword by turning your own sword beneath the sword of your enemy; and then you may defend against the forthcoming roverso by going into guardia di testa; then subsequently you will pass with the right foot towards the enemy's left side, giving him a mandritto to the head or to the flank that will stop in porta di ferro stretta, in such a way that the left foot will follow the right.
