This time, it rushed with the shield forward. The sword was held up, elbow up, ready to stab. When the dummy was close enough, I leaned back as the stab came forward. My back was nearly parallel with the ground, but the sword was overextended above me. With my right hand, I grabbed the wrist that was holding the sword. With another shift to the right, I twisted the wrist, causing the sword to be dropped and the dummy being bent backwards, unbalancing the dummy. The shield arm went wide which gave me another opening with a quick stab over my right arm.
