(p.233/#1) (Porta di Ferro Stretta vs. Sword in Presence) If your enemy has his sword in presence with his right foot forward, you will place yourself in porta di ferro stretta with the right foot forward; and there you will touch your enemy's sword with your false edge, making sure to keep your arm extended far forward; and subsequently you will pass your left foot forward, making a half turn of the hand, and pushing a punta ferma to his chest; and should your enemy seek to defend himself by lifting his sword in the manner of guardia di testa, you will pass back the left foot giving him a falso to his sword hand, behind his sword, and you will follow that, in the shortest time possible, with a mezzo mandritto to his sword hand, making your sword end in porta di ferro alta.
