Doesn't the 2:49 move seem rather suicidal?

[@CarlosSanchez-my7zg]

Zaki Mohamed no, because youre essentially pushing thr sword up in a way where if they strike, it will hurt them before you.

@@CarlosSanchez-my7zg but if he dies, the sword will still fall on your head.

[@CarlosSanchez-my7zg]

@@Le_Rappel_des_oiseaux it falls behind you because youre still pushing forward. And you break angles. I mean, watch, and i feel like you can figure it out.

@@CarlosSanchez-my7zg Sorry, I still don’t understand :(

[@CarlosSanchez-my7zg]

@@Le_Rappel_des_oiseaux ill try. So like, when you stab forward like that, you move in so your body is basically touching your opponent, so youre inside that like triangle you make with your arms holding the sword for the downward strike. Youre pushing through your opponent. So their arms come down like a hug. And so their sword comes to either side, or they just drop it. Make sense? Im trying to be helpful.
