(224/#1) (Cinghiara Porta di Ferro Stretta vs. Sword in Presence) If you have placed yourself into cinghiara porta di ferro stretta with the left foot somewhat traversing, your enemy having his sword in presence; there you will make a great step forward with the right foot, throwing a falso in that tempo into your enemy's sword, and in this you will not pass guardia di faccia; then immediately passing with your left foot forward, not taking your sword from his, you will make a half turn of the hand pushing now a punta ferma to his chest, and after this, withdrawing your left foot back, you will turn a mezzo mandritto to his sword hand that does not pass porta di ferro alta. The counter to this will be that finding yourself with the sword in presence against your enemy with your right foot forward; there you will be mindful that when he passes with his right foot forward to strike your sword with his false edge, you will make no movement at all; but in the tempo that he passes with his left foot forward, making a half turn of the hand to push a thrust to your chest, you will take your sword under his towards his left side pushing a thrust into his chest.
