(p.238/#4) (Sword and Targa) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Any) Your enemy being in any guard he want, you will be able to place yourself in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward; and throwing a falso to his face with the sword well-grasped, that goes over your head, because this said falso goes not to strike him, but you will subsequently act with your sword and your body as though you want to strike his front leg with a mandritto, passing your left foot a little forwards, and also making a good defense of the head with your targa, then presently you will also be able to throw a mezzo mandritto across his left temple and subsequently passing your right foot towards his left side you will be able to hit him with another mandritto to his flank for across his head, and in this making the left leg follow the right, and your sword will be thereafter found in porta di ferro alta, and notes that these two mandritti (mandrittos) will have to go one after the other with the greatest speed.
