(p.67/#1) (Porta di Ferro Larga vs. Coda Lunga Stretta or Porta di Ferro Stretta) If you are in porta di ferro larga and he is coda lunga stretta or porta di ferro stretta with the right foot forward; if you would like to hit him in the face with a falso, it is first necessary that you start by feinting a rising falso to his sword hand and to his sword; and whether or not he tries to defend against it, you will make a sfalsata of your blade under his and beat his sword aside towards his right side with a mezzo mandritto; then immediately you will step somewhat forward with your right foot and you may now give him a falso to his right temple followed by a roverso fendente to the sword arm that stops in coda lunga larga.
