(p.255/#2) (Sword vs. Opposite Handed) (Porta di Ferro Larga as Patiente) Remaining in porta di ferro larga with the right foot forward against your enemy, and he thinking to throw some blow to your head, or perhaps to push an imbrocatta or stoccata to your chest; you will defend yourself from these with a falso that does not pass guardia di faccia; and subsequently passing your left foot towards his left side, you will give give him a descending mandritto to his face and and to his sword arm that descends into cinghiara porta di ferro larga; and if he should respond with some attack to your head, you will presently pass the right foot forward defending yourself with the sword in guardia di testa; and subsequently then giving him a mandritto to the face or to the sword hand or to the front leg that descends into porta di ferro larga; and presently withdrawing the right foot back you will place yourself into coda lunga stretta.
