(p.237/#3) (Sword and Targa) (Coda Lunga Stretta vs. Coda Lunga Stretta) Being in coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward and your enemy in the same guard; there you will throw a mezzo mandritto to his sword that does not pass porta di ferro stretta, and then immediately engaging his false edge with your false edge, and subsequently passing the left foot forward, in this tempo you will make a half turn of the hand pushing a thrust to his face; and should he wish to defend himself from this thrust in some way, you will be able to use one of these these attacks: jamming your targa into his sword hand and giving him a mandritto to the leg; or making a feint of throwing the said mandritto and pushing a thrust to this guts; or just giving him a blow with your targa to his sword arm, pushing again presently a thrust to the face and then jumping dextrously back with even feet for your security.
