(p.242/#3) (Sword and Targa) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Any) Once again finding your enemy in any guard, you will place yourself in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward, and there pulling the left foot near the right, you will make a falso tondo that goes overhead, and subsequently passing your right foot forward, you will turn a mandritto tondo to his left temple, and subsequently passing your left foot towards his right side, you will be able to similarly turn another mandritto tondo to his left temple and now the sword will need to descend into cinghiara porta di ferro stretta; then passing presently with the right foot forward, and keeping the targa defending the head well, you will make in that tempo a roverso to his flank, that does not pass coda lunga stretta; and if he should respond with some attack you will defend with a thrust to his face accompanied by your targa, without moving the feet; or instead you may push that thrust to his sword arm.
