(p.257/#1) (Sword vs. Opposite Handed) (Coda Lunga Larga with the Left Foot Forward vs. Coda Lunga Stretta or Porta di Ferro Stretta) Should your enemy be settled in coda lunga stretta or in porta di ferro stretta with his right foot forward, you will be able to place yourself in coda lunga larga with your left foot forward; and here you will give him a rising falso to the sword hand accompanied by a rising roverso ridoppio to his sword hand, your sword then turning into coda lunga lunga without moving the feet; then you will immediately be able to feint another rising falso to his sword hand, and as he goes to defend against this, you will transform it into a stoccata trivillata, that goes to the left side of his face, stepping a little forward with the left foot, and if he wants to defend himself against this thrust you will subsequently be able to pass your right foot towards his right side, turning then a mandritto across his head to his sword hand, or to his front leg that descends into porta di ferro larga; and now the left foot will faithfully follow the right.
