Standing at an even 7’2” and 340lbs as I enter the pit, cutting the fat down to the fact that I have a Y visor helm on My head with the strap done, My right hand has a long sword double edged, with a 32” blade and cross guard over the hilt, held out to My right side so the tip looks at the sands 45 degrees from My right leg…My left arm has a Torv round shield of 36” with a boss and metal banding, held with the strap on the forearm and pulled around so that the boss is looking at You, upper rim under My chin level and about a foot away from Me…My left foot leading on at shoulder width and right trailed back with the toes of the right foot pointing out, knees slightly bent and ready to fight at 5 paces from you.
Helm.
Long sword right hand.
Torv shield left hand.

walk in to the pit and stand near the wall of the entrance to the pit with my back 2 foot from the wall which is behind me. I am wearing a brown tunic and leather footwear. I am 6ft 4” and 205lbs. Strapped to my left arm is a 30” common round shield with a black verr painted on the hide cover. The shield is strapped to my left arm by two straps, one strapped to my forearm and one in my left hand. I have the shield placed with my left elbow at my left side under my ribs and my left fist over my right side of my central chest about 6” from the flesh and the shield covers my torso from neck to waist. On my right hand is the blade of a 22” short sword which is being held with the hilt at my right hip and the blade forward and horizontal to the ground with the tip pointing forward at your left hip. I had a 10” dagger at the centre of my belt and peered from my Y slotted helm. I noticed you where a big fucker so me being small and nimble I had to think speed not strength. I stood 5 paces from you and waited.
Round shield left arm.
Short sword right hand.
Helm.

As You had not moved and keep the 5 paces I nod and walk in slow coming towards Your right side slightly as I brought My right blade up over My right shoulder so the mid section of blade was resting on the shoulder ready to strike…
as I got to 2 paces I started to bring My sword down, looking like it was coming for your right shoulder but then as I made a half step onto My left foot lead I sprang to My right and tucked My right elbow in sharp to My side to pull My falling blade over towards My right and hope to clear around Your left side before You can work out what is going on and pressed My right arm back out to My right and snapped the right wrist to send the blade tip back over to My left and should be past Your back shield edge as I shove the blade forward and try and drive the blade in Your left side rib level behind Your shield, keeping My own shield tucked in with the left side (My pov) pointed back to cover My flank
This post is ok.

watched you move towards me and then do your fancy stuff with the sword. There did not seem to be any effort in your first attack so I took it as a faint. I was right and you moved to my left side. As you did I moved to my right in a circle my body turning to keep facing you and the circle was backwards to my right and moved the distance as fast as I could back to 3 paces which is 9ft and I hope with my shield still in place your sword would hit my shield face not me.
I then move forward fast in a circle to my right and closing to your left side at 3 ft. I hope to face your right side and I drive my right hand forward aiming foe your left hip hoping to drive the tip of the sword into there away from the shield which is at your front not side.
This defense is cheesy at best. You let him come to 2 feet from you, you let him feint, and then only react when he's stepping forward and to your left, by turning to your right, and then trying to back up 8-9 feet. This is simply not enough for me. I want to know exactly what you're doing to stop a blow, other then just back pedalling and saying "Oh and my shield was there." When he made a specific effort to go around that shield. deadly blow. -1.

I was not sure how You are on My left and facing My right but I had angled back My shield to cover My flank and as You step away and come back in I take that time to just lower My left shoulder by leaning over and shoving My left elbow back to drive the large shield face over My hip and take the short sword on the face of My shield
in close now as I had You I think on My left side as I push out My left hand and keep the left elbow in tight and hard with a nasty sweep of My shield face to try and bat Your short off to My left, as I was also twisting on the ball of My left leading foot to held bring over My right long sword from the block You made to try cut the blade over the top of Your shield rim as I hope the mid rib position it was would be blind to You till it came over the top, I made sure I made no contact wih Your shield to give the position away of the blade, I then quickly snap My right elbow down to My right hip to sink the blade down as hard as I can so that the end of My blade may be able to get over Your body and hack down into Your exposed right shoulder as the twist should bring Me around for more angle on but still leading left a quarter.
Abraham
12:53:39
As you move to face me I move back in a jump to 3 foot back so I was now 6ft from you and with your side and sword length you still might be able to get me but I could see your sword more closely now. You hit my sword a little so it was knocked to my right and I moved my left forearm to my right about a foot to protect my right shoulder with my shield.
I then circled to my right around to your left and hopefully to your left side at 3 foot again facing your left side I hope. I thrust my left forearm forward about a foot in a fake thrust to your body hoping you would think I was going to charge to batter you with the shield. I then thrust my right hand forward fully extending it then move my right hand to my left to try and cut into your left hip at your back.
Round 3

13:00:36
I watched You move back again and try to circle with no real pace on it that I could see as I twist on the ball of My left leading foot to bring My left shoulder back another quarter, The sort of charge ment nothing as I was confident I could not only hold You off but lash You across the sands and I lower My left knee slightly to get ready to push You but instead a strike came, I felt lucky that I had moved around to ready the charge and take the stab on the face of the lowered shield
now was the time as My blade should be over on My left side as I missed and the weight bring down low across My body and You had come in before I had repositioned, I just wretched My right arm back up and to My right in order to send the longer blade up to a high right to try and cut up from Your right hip and over Your chest, I was aware Your shield was smaller and I turned My wrist down so My thumb faced the sand to turn the blade in the sweep up and give better control in the action so that I may get around the lip of Your shield on the way up and out, if not gutting You like a fish I thought it should drive You back if nothing else.
Abraham
13:08:06
I watch you move and then I see the upper arm of your sword arm move so I decide to act. I jump back 3 foot to give us more distance about mmm 6ft again I think. At the same time I push my left forearm down hand and twist my left forward slightly so the bottom lip of the shield was close to my body. The centre of the shield ends up near my mid belly and the shield covers my right hip. As I hopefully feel the sword hit the shield and move up I move my forearm up at the same time bringing my shield up and to my left to try and knock your sword that way.
with my shield now to my left slightly I twist my left forwarm forward move to angle the top of the shoield forward at about 45% and then I thrus tmy right arm forward and up vertical to aim for the bottom of your jaw to try and knock you back abit or daze you
Last defence
Joe
13:12:00
I saw You try to bat Me from 6 feet away and unless You let go of the shield and throw it at Me like a frisby I cannot see You even getting close, I watched Your shield go up and looked at You like You been on the paga all night as I smiled and nodded sheathing My blade and taking off My helmet, If I got that wrong in the distance then I will have a hell of headache in the morning…..good spar
