Off Line

Wednesday saw a lot of buckler and dagger work.  One of the things I have been given to work on is the off line lunge, where you step off the center line and delivering the attack from an angled position.

It's important to both keep the sword arm extended and using the off hand to cover the lower exposed lines.  Obviously, timing matters as this works best if the opponent can't track your movements.

After remembering to disengage with smaller movements, I found success twice that night.  More work ahead.
