(p.234/#3) (Porta di Ferro Stretta vs. Sword in Presence) If your enemy should have his sword in presence with his right foot forward, it will please me, that you place yourself nicely into porta di ferro stretta with the right foot forward; and here you will be able to strike a falso into your enemy's sword, beating it out towards his left side, to step then a little forward with your right foot, pushing a thrust to his chest, without any turning of the hand as you might otherwise do; but if he should defend himself in some way, you will immediately pass your left foot forward towards his right side, and in this tempo you will make a half turn of the fist and push a punta ferma to his chest; and if he should want to defend himself from this, you will with foresight, quickly make a presa with your left hand to his sword or his sword arm; then as you judge most correct, you will strike him with a thrust or a cut wherever you should most prefer.
