Longsword Exchange Analysis 2: Failed Takedown

This is from the match of me (Stephen Cheney) vs Jon Paulino from AG Open 2023. After the tournament was over, I kept thinking about what went wrong with this grapple, so I decided to share it.

Where you going from the beginning for a parry or you changed a cavazione in tempo into a parry at the last split of second? Quite impressive anyway.

Hi, thank you for the comment. I honestly don't remember what I was going for at that moment, but I do know that I did not plan to grapple before the exchange began, the grapple arose organically. I hope this helps, thanks.
