I should practice more grappling, that's for sure....

It's a shame to watch myself closing in successfully and then my opponent circled to my back to turn the table. :|

:D Glad you enjoy it though.

Hey Lance, it looks like you tag him one with your sword while you're closing. Was it flat, or was there some other reason it didn't count?
Bring me my broadsword and clear understanding.

I was hitting his back but he was too close, so that my blade was out of the place and instead, my sword guard hit him... that caused my sword to fly out of my hand due to the sudden stop of my hand's motion and the continual of the sword's inertia.
