(p.227/#3) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Coda Lunga Stretta.) If your enemy is set with the sword in presence with the right foot forward in coda lunga stretta, you will be able to place yourself in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward; and so throwing a mezzo mandritto to his sword, and subsequently passing your right foot somewhat towards his left side, you will push a thrust to his chest; but if he should defend in some way, you will immediately make a half turn of the hand pushing another thrust to the chest, and he wanting to defend against this in some way, you will be able to without delay strike his front leg with a mezzo mandritto and also you will be able to subsequently make a rising mezzo mandritto to his sword hand and to his sword that does not pass guardia di intrare; then withdrawing your right foot back you will make a half turn of the hand setting yourself in coda lunga stretta.
