says to Truls RohkA Man Without : There I stood 7'4 and 325 was
no definition to me as I stood there I looked like an immovable
mountain... I reached back over my shoulder for the haft of the
30" wide double bearded axe gripping it in my right hand as I
pull it free from the sheath as I lift it over my shoulder I let
the haft slide till my grip tightens about the half way point of
the haft... as I reach and grab a Y slotted helm and placed it
upon my head and secured it firmly with the chin strap as I let
the axe hang there in my right hand as I looked at you from
under that helm
as I square up leading with the left foot foward my right
slightly back and planted in the basic L stance knees slightly
bent
as I simply nod to you when you are ready

says to PreacherAxe Glacier Outp: -sees you pull out the great
axe and reconsiders my own weapon choice in the light axes but
done is done-
I swiftly close the distance to 3 feet between our lead toes in
a shuffling forward step that maintains body position as the axe
in my left hand swings out from where it is held at waist level,
keeping parallel to the ground, just over waist height swinging
from my right to left aiming the blade at the` outside of your
left wrist trying if nothing else to push that arm over across
in front of you and hinder use of the great axe
-before bringing that second axe in my right hand in a high
arcing swing, just a slight slant towards my left aiming for the
top of your left shoulder blade, the angle such that if it
passed clear through you it would come out just above your belt
buckle-

says to Truls RohkA Man Without : I seen your movement and the
closing of the distance to 3' as I stepped forward with my right
foot at the sametime swinging the great axe out to my right with
the face flat as I aim to deflect your left axe with the face of
the Great axe as I plant my right foot
I then swing the axe right to left aimed low below your left
knee at the sametime lift my left arm up to connect with your
right forearm to stop your swing for my left shoulder
He closed to 3', you stepped forward, so its what, 2 - 2 1/2ish
now. My understanding and I could be wrong is 2HAxes double
sided would range between 3-5 feet. Anything longer was
generally a pole-arm. Anyways, keep in mind distance compared to
weapon length. I think you're too close to be efficient
attacking or defending at this point.
Also, if you're using a weapon that's so heavy you want to
always keep it moving forward, instead of moving it left to
block then right to attack or something, describe it as moving
it in a sideways figure eight sort of deal, like the infinity
symbol, otherwise all the start stops, you're not gonna be fast
enough.
Just can't see the size of the 30" head, and length of the axe
allow you to work between you both to block at all. or the 2h
axe being quick enough to beat his smaller 1h 6" blade to your
shoulder. I'm calling it here.

Is standing or walking about the Grounds outside the Hall of

says to PreacherAxe Glacier Outp:
My first swing of the left axe deflected, I continue the swing
keeping the movement fluid, rotating at the left elbow to bring
the axe in a clockwise circular motion swinging between us to
end up swinging outward at shin level, letting the axe handles
meet, slide, and bind up as axe head meets axe head and our arms
struggle, me pushing outwards in defense and you swinging
inwards for my leg
-As your left arm stops my right swing keeping the right axe
from cleaving your shoulder, I jerk my right arm downwards,
bending at the elbow to slide the right held axe handle along
your forearm as my fist clears your forearm, only inches needed
now to bring the bottom "beard" of that axe head to come raking
down across your left shoulder and down to hook your left arm
trying to pull it out wide to your left and out of play-

says to Truls RohkA Man Without : using the fact that the axe
heads have met I twist the haft outward locking the axes in
place and lift up as I slide my left foot behind me and leaving
my right shoulder facing you taking my left shoulder out of
range at the sametime for the beard of your axe to find my left
shoulder
as I then push forward and down on the haft looking to knock you
off balance and gain a little control in this fight

says to PreacherAxe Glacier Outp:
-Counter-
-Keeping my right foot in place I pivot on the ball of that
foot, dragging my left foot backwards in a sweeping arc to rest
behind me, in essence reversing my stance to a right side
forward version of what I had first started with-
-The whole time trying to keep contact of my left axe against
yours as you thrust and adding in my right axe as I pivot,
bringing it from high right (My PoV) to low left, raking across
your front to add impetus to my left axe, striking your shaft
trying to send it out well wide to my left your right

says to Truls RohkA Man Without : = simply rotates the axe in a
upward underhanded arc lower right to upper left ( My POV) as I
aim to keep the blades locked and use your own body against you
to block or move your right held axe out of the way and coming
to rest about chest heigth with=
=as I turn the haft again releasing the locked blade and pull
back sharply hoping to give you a nasty bite on your left arm
just behind the elbow =

says to Truls RohkA Man Without : lowering the axe as you back
up quicly I swing it up and place it back to the sheath and
remove the helm and nod laughing Well fought Truls..
Was a good spar, you both know what you're doing. But the better
man at this moment was Truls. winner by disabling blow to
Preachers neck/shoulder area in Rnd 1
Great fight, and in all honesty everything was super clear to
me, except for a few of your words that I know cost me in spars.
You both used "outside" a lot to describe how you twisted your
wrist, or turned a blade or whatever. But you never mentioned
outside what. I can assume you mean outside your own body,
outside of his body, outside of his axe, which side is the out
side?
Added note: I never seen it done before with other judges, but
Eotecles was giving a successful block to your opponent if you
mentioned it successful in your post Truls, and you did it a few
times in here, just something to watch for in case you get a
judge who would call a shitty block clean because you accepted
it.
Hope that helped, any feedback or questions, board pm me or
skype, I'm open for anything I may have missed or want clarify
in my own judgment...
