#Sidesword vs #langsmesser is a test of managing distance, footwork and learning to close safely to the grapple.

My partner is overall a more experienced fencer than I am with a much longer weapon, I however have better grappling foundations, a foot of hight and an extra 60 pounds.

#Sidesword Vs #Langsmesser:
Provoke, counter cut displacing cut to my face, we arrest at the hilts however my shorter sword can not hit her in the head. The moment of stillness gives me time to grab the blade and pull her forward the last needed inch to score the touch.
