Thank you ! Defending the legs is the thing with I struggle the most with longswords ! Even if this video isn't about longswords, I can still inspire myself with this video !

Interesting stuff. I have just started some socially distanced sparring in the park. I’ve noticed that slipping the leg and reaching for my opponents head makes it very easy to slip or loose balance on wet grass. I’d imagine taking a shallower target like this will allow better stability. I’ll certainly be practicing it.
