(p.233/#2) (Coda Lunga Stretta vs. Coda Lunga Stretta) If your enemy is set in coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward, you will be able to place yourself also in coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward; and there stepping a little forward with your right foot, you will feint a thrust to his chest, and as he goes to defend against this in some way, you will subsequently strike his sword hand with a mezzo mandritto that does not pass porta di ferro stretta; then you will subsequently throw a falso to your enemy's sword that does not pass guardia di faccia; and immediately passing your left foot forward, while making a half turn of the hand, you will push a punta ferma to his chest, and if he should defend against this thrust in any manner you will immediately withdraw your left foot back, pushing a thrust to his sword hand and setting yourself with the sword in porta di ferro stretta.
