(p.246/#3) (Sword and Targa) (Coda Lunga Stretta vs. Coda Lunga Stretta) If your enemy should be set in coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward you will place yourself in the same guard; and then you will make a falso, subsequently passing your left foot foot towards his right side, feinting a mandritto to his front leg and if he goes to defend this in any way, you will throw that same mandritto to his head; or if you want, as you feint the mandritto, and now that he wants to defend, you will make a half turn of the hand pushing a punta ferma to his guts in the manner of a falso impuntato, always keeping the targa well-extended forward to defend your head; then immediately you will withdraw the left foot back, going with the sword accompanied by the targa into guardia di faccia for your defense.
