(p.244/#1) (Sword and Targa) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Sword in Presence) If your enemy is set with the sword in presence and with his right foot forward, you will place yourself in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward, and then pulling the left foot near the right, you will make a falso tondo that goes overhead turning at him subsequently a curtailed mandritto, that is to say it will come up short underneath his sword and which must not pass cinghiara porta di ferro stretta; then you will immediately pass your right foot forward, striking your false edge into his sword beating it towards his left side; and next you will be able to give him a mandritto to the face or to the sword arm, such that it will then descend into porta di ferro stretta; and following, you will be able to without delay turn a roverso tondo to his face over his targa, and as he wants to defend against this using his sword and his targa, you will immediately pass your left foot towards his right side pushing a thrust to his face under his targa, and you will remember to keep your targa defending your head, and this done you will withdraw the left foot back setting yourself into coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward.
