He was fast and moved out of the way. He grabbed onto your arm and keeled it fairly hard, you lose your grip on your sword from the sudden hit.
I duck into a roll and pick it up again as I roll past, going into a crouch with the sword in hand (hopefully)
He nodded. He waited for you to strike again.

This time I play it more carefully, circling around him and checking for weak points, which foot is he leaning on, where does it look like he thinks I'll be heading, and then I feint to the strong side and strike at his weaker side, instead of attacking the sword I'll attack the body, keeping a firm grip on my sword, I keep it held up and the point tipped at him

He stumbled, but quickly placed his footing again. He lifted his leg and swiftly kicked your sword. His strike was surprisingly strong and your sword went flying out of your hands.

The moment it flies out I shoot out with a kick of my own, if he just kicked me he won't have much time to react, I'm acting off of instincts my intent is to knock him back a bit and give myself a chance to get my sword again, I think i understand his strategy a bit more.

About 45 minutes pass, and both of you are exhausted and are sitting on the floor. ``Good practice.`` Orzin raises his hand for a high five.

I'm smiling despite the exhaustion and give him the high five he seeks "God I missed this"
