(p.247/#1) (Sword and Targa) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Coda Lunga Stretta) If your enemy should be set in coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward, you will be able to place yourself in coda lunga stretta but with the left foot forward; then you will pass the right foot forward and this you will make a half turn of the fist pushing a thrust over his sword and to his guts, but in this you will lift the sword hand a little, such that the point goes somewhat somewhat low, to the end that you can better strike him; but if he wants to defend himself in some way you will subsequently pass your left foot forward, making a half turn of the first, and again pushing another thrust to the face; and if, perhaps, he wishes to defend himself from this attack you will will immediately drive the targa under his sword hand, giving him subsequently a mandritto across the front leg; and then without delay you will withdraw the left foot back, going with the sword accompanied by the targa into guardia di faccia for your security.
