Catching the blade on the first slice, James forces it down between them in a blade lock and then uses his shoulder to knock the novice swordsman off his balance, bringing his shield into the mix and catching Cody a glancing blow to the chest. [color=SteelBlue]"Telegraphing your moves and a poor center of balance would have had you decapitated if I'd wished to."[/color] Moving in again, James strikes with thrusts in a high-low pattern before spotting and opening and using it. Disarming Cody with a twist of his sword and a flick of his wrist, he puts the tip to Cody's throat. [color=SteelBlue]"Your balance needs work, as does your foot work and your blocks and parries, but you've got a solid bases to work on."[/color]
