(p.72/#3) (Coda Lunga Stretta vs Coda Lunga Stretta) If your enemy is settled in coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward and you are set in the same; there you will pass the left foot traversing towards his right side going with the sword into cinghiara porta larga di ferro; and then you will immediately pass the right foot forward feinting a roverso to the sword hand but then you will actually throw the hand somewhat back into coda lunga alta; and at that moment you will then feint a thrust to the left side of his chest; and as he goes to defend against it this thrust, you will subsequently pass the left foot forward making a sfalsata of your sword under his sword pushing at him presently a punta ferma to the right side of the chest the sword going to coda lunga alta with the arm extended as far as you are able. Then immediately withdraw the left backwards settling into porta di ferro stretta, in such a way that the point of your sword guards his sword hand.
