(p.196/#1) (Sword and Targa) (Any vs. Unstated (though presumably sword in presence)) Set however you will be, that you will let the right foot push the left forward, and having approached your enemy you will be able to strongly push your target into the point of his sword, in such a way that it retains his point; and now throw at him a mandritto to the front leg, or push a thrust to his chest, or you will be able to, passing quickly towards his left side with your right foot, throw at him the same mandritto to the leg, or push at him the same thrust to the chest, making the targa guard your head well; and allowing the sword to descend into porta di ferro larga, you will have the left follow behind the right; and should you be actually be in coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward, you will be able to proceed with the above written attacks, and in addition you may also throw a mezzo roverso to his legs, stepping somewhat forward with the right foot.
