Timur posted a video of my fight with Horace, who is my nephew and at that time was Queen's Champion, on Youtube:
I've watched it a couple of times and here's what I see:
I'm indecisive in how I want to start the fight. I will start with sword foot forward, then step back, then step forward again. Also, my hand drifts out too far to the side when I'm in a sword back position.
Except for the very first pass, I attacked first throughout the fight. I'm not patient and I never have been.
Why I would ever throw a legshot at Horace is beyond me.
The kill itself was in a way a product of the kite. I would not have died to that shot if I'd had the half round or the heater: they both have more shield in front of my hand and more head coverage. But I might have long before lost my leg as well.
He did post two fights that I *won* though! (that's a rarity--most videos of me on Youtube I'm losing in):
and
Yes, in that second one I kept my shield after I took his arm. Sue me. I'm consciously trying to be more Eastern in my outlook. :-)
In the third video I fought Mitchel. I threw a wavy-rising snap and didn't execute. His shield went where I needed to but my shot came in too low. So I did it again and corrected that and it worked.
