self explanatory weapons. your stance makes no sense to me. the spear is over your shoulder or across it? or across both of them? Shield position ok.

self explanatory weapons, your stance leaves you few options to defend against someone who is experienced.

clean

spear throw works. it is fortunate that you stated "starting to pull it" instead of drawing it. I'll allow it this time because you haven't actually drawn it yet. Had you, that wouldn't really flow with the follow through of the spear throw.

I get what you are trying to do but you can keep it much simpler and much less confusing to use positioning from your point of view. Most fighters and judges can figure it out. You moved to your right and opened your shield out to your left to bat the spear away. Then you moved more to your right as you advanced upon him.

here is where i have a problem. He threw the spear from 10 feet. You state as you began running you start your swing. The problem is when you began running, you were still 10 feet away from him. You want to start your swing when you get into range.

you can't draw your sword, use a shield pin, etc, in the counter portion of prodigy. Aggressive or offensive actions go in the reaction. Otherwise your defense is clean, were he close enough to you when he started his swing

this would be a clean attack, except you have to draw your sword first.

clean enough defense, but remember a short sword is much much faster than a shield.

this was a fairly sloppy fight from both parties. Krul, I had a LOT of difficulty trying to figure out what you were doing throughout the spar. Militiades, you made a few technical errors, one in your stance, and a couple regarding the drawing of your sword after your spear throw.

I stopped judging because it was a difficult fight to follow. I've actually seen better from both of you guys so I am going to leave this one at a draw.

I see what your saying Herzog about the drawing sword part .

But when your in a throwing stance the spear is across both at least from my point of view anyway thanks for taking the time to judge and all that
