Medieval knights fight with axes in close quarters (wait till the end)

Always have a plan for WHEN your ax gets tangled up. He is very athletic and younger but overcommits his rush and I take advantage of it. I backed up to try to create space and felt him pushing hard against me so I use a my forearm as a club to unbalance my opponent hoping to use his pressure against him. Note that I move my body out of the way as I hit him with the my forearm while pulling him forward through my space. The sand and my lack of mobily in my right leg almost cause me to fall and end up making this look clumsy. Teaching at Battlegrounds at Nebblet Creek https://www.facebook.com/Battlegroundsus/
