(p.213/#1) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Coda Lunga Stretta or Porta di Ferro Stretta) Finding yours enemy in coda lunga stretta or porta di ferro stretta with his right foot forward, you will be able to place yourself in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward; and there you will feint a thrust to his right flank, and as he goes to defend against this, you in that moment will be able to pass with your left foot forward towards his right side withdrawing the sword hand somewhat back, and you will presently be able to push a thrust to his sword hand, or you will also be able to strike his hand with a mezzo mandritto that descends into porta di ferro stretta, but doing this in such a way that the left foot faithfully follows behind the right.
