(p.210/#2) (Coda Lunga Larga with the Left Foot Forward vs. Coda Lunga Stretta or Porta di Ferro Stretta) Finding yourself against your enemy and remaining in coda lunga larga with the left foot forward and he in coda lunga stretta or porta di ferro stretta; the you will able to give him a falso traversato to his sword hand, and subsequently passing your right foot forward, you will turn a rising roverso, going thence to guardia di testa; and from there you will strike him subsequently with a mighty fendente to the head that descends into porta di ferro stretta; and so if here the enemy should think to throw some attack to your head, you will immediately change yourself into guardia di testa for your safety and you will presently give him a mandritto tondo to the leg, or to the face, or to the sword hand; then you will withdraw the right foot back, striking at his sword hand with a roverso that descends into coda lunga larga.
