(p.174/#1) (Sword vs. Pole Arms: Porta di Ferro Stretta as Patiente) If you are assaulted by one that has a pole arm, and you have only a sword, my advice is that you set yourself in porta di ferro stretta with your right foot forward; and when he moves to push some attack to your chest, using any ordinary type of pole arm; you will beat it aside with a falso towards your right side, and pass subsequently with the left foot forward, you will make a half turn of the hand such that the right leg passes forward in a great pass, and gliding then with the left forward you will make a thrust to the face, and once you have gone forward, you will not let up.
