(228/#1) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Coda Lunga Stretta) Remaining in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward and your enemy set in coda lunga stretta or in porta di ferro stretta with his right foot forward; there you will pass your right foot somewhat towards his left side while feinting a thrust to his right side, but then you will quickly withdraw the sword hand somewhat back, and push another thrust to his left side; and note that this thrust goes not to wound your enemy, but to bring your sword against his, true edge to true edge, in the manner of guardia di entrare; and in doing this your left leg must follow a little behind the right; and subsequently, now that you find yourself true edge to true edge, you will make a half turn of the hand pushing yet another thrust to the chest, making an accrescimento of the right foot somewhat forward, and as he goes to defend himself you will immediately throw a mezzo mandritto to his leg, and subsequently turn a rising mezzo mandritto to his sword hand that does not pass guardia d' intrare, and then withdrawing your right foot back you will place yourself in coda lunga stretta.
