Nick in first ward (like he’s drawing the sword) me in half shield, I’m circling to his right as I advance to try and blind-side him.
In this instance he doesn’t react in time so I stab him…Hah.
This time, as I am in 1st ward and enter with a cut to the hand.
In the following I try the hand cut…
as nick prevents this with the bind,
I (moving back as he moves forward) change at the sword (note the way my buckler is under my sword hand; this should prevent it getting trapped and allow me to grapple should he carry on with the shield knock)…
and enter with a counter.
