(p.80/#5) (Coda Lunga Larga with the Left Foot Forward vs. Sword in Presence;) If your enemy stands with the right foot forward with the sword in presence, you will be in coda lunga larga with the left foot forward; and with awareness and skill you will pass the right foot forward throwing a rising falso to the sword of your enemy that does not pass guardia di faccia, and you do this as to join with his sword at mezza spada; you will make a half turn of the hand to bring your sword into guardia di intrare; and if he makes a sfalsata of his sword under yours, quickly, to beat your sword out towards your left side and throwing at you subsequently a mandritto fendente to the face; so you will be aware that at the beat of the falso, you will not make any movement; but in the tempo that he throws the mandritto to the face, you will turn your hand taking your sword into guardia di testa to defend yourself from this blow; and then subsequently you will pass the right foot somewhat forward, throwing at him an overhand imbrocatta to the sword arm; or you will throw a mezzo mandritto to the sword arm or sword hand that ends with the sword in porta di ferro stretta.
