(p.171/#7) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward; Counter to (play #440)) One's counter to this attack is to make no movement as the enemy throws the stoccata, and to defend against the roverso that follows the mandritto feint, by withdrawing the left foot back throwing a mandritto to the sword hand, or a rising falso that will stop in guardia di faccia.
