(p.221/#1) (Coda Lunga Larga with the Left Foot Forward vs. Any) Note: the text here states that you make the falso descend into guardia alta (“scenda per infino in guardia alta”); it is also used to describe the montante ending in guardia sopra braccio. Again finding yourself in coda lunga larga with the left foot forward against your enemy, and in whatever placement he wishes; there you will be able to push a stoccata trivillata to his sword hand, and as you will have your left foot forward, you will then pull the left foot near the right, your sword going into coda lunga lunga; and this done you will quickly give him a rising falso traversato to the sword hand that goes to end in guardia alta; and then stepping somewhat forward with the right foot you will be able to throw a rising falso to the sword hand that goes in the manner of a montante that ends in the manner of guardia sopra braccio; you will stay mindful that these two falsi must be made with the greatest speed, one after the other; then you will able to also push an imbrocatta roversa to his face or to his sword hand that descends into coda lunga larga; and if in this the enemy should try to attack you in any way, you will be able to presently strike his sword hand with a rising falso that goes thence into guardia sopra braccio, withdrawing your right foot back and giving him a roverso to the sword hand that descends into coda lunga larga.
