(p.74/#3) (Porta di Ferro Stretta vs. Coda Lunga Stretta or Porta di Ferro Stretta) If your adversary has settled in coda lunga stretta, or in porta di ferro stretta, with the right foot forward, you will be placed with the same same foot forward in porta di ferro stretta; and there you will throw the right foot near the left; and then you will immediately pass the left foot forward towards his right side feinting a thrust to the right side of his chest and as soon as he goes to defend himself, you will subsequently pass your right foot forward somewhat towards his left side throwing the sword hand somewhat back; and subsequently you will feint another thrust to his face; and as he goes to defend himself, you will immediately drive a thrust into his sword hand, the left leg must then faithfully follow the right, and the sword will settle into porta di ferro stretta.
