Simplify what is happening. Reading about spinning something in three different directions or whatever is just confusing.

I have two hands on a curved blade, I'm drawing it back by lowering the tip and pulling up on my hands back to beside my head.
N_I is knocking my sword to the right with one hand on his machete while reaching with another hand towards mine.
I'm standing six feet away, my wrist is a little more then three feet from him.
He's saying I can't pull back my hands before he grabs them, because he is hitting my sword.
I'm saying that by lowering the tip, raising my hands back to beside my head, that he'd not be able to reach my wrist before there was blade in the way.

Oh, well thats a stupid arguement. If you're retreating, then good for you, you're retreating.
More importantly, it depends entirely on which side you're rearing your hands back. If you bring it to your right side, and he's pushing it to his right with his machete, then your sword is forced to cross over, assuming that he advances to keep the pressure on the blade.
If you pull it back to your left, and he's pushing it to his right, then he's forcing it to the outside, and with a blade pressed against it, can already easily move it to defend against any forward attempts to attack, assuming he advances to keep the pressure on the blade as well.
Theres no problem in pulling back, but the problem is trying to get the sword into an attacking position if his machete is already blocking it, pressed against it, to control its movements. So is you plan on walking backwards over and over again, and if he's just walking forward over and over again, your sword is still going to be controlled and blocked off from attacking if he can keep his blade against it.

I'd have posted earlier in the day but I didn't know we'd started.
I'll post when I see responses, I guess. Just need to check more often than I have been.
Apologies for making my lil' buddy wait.

Brutal enough for BLOODBATH, while benign enough for my own standards, and pretty much no way around it. Only obstacle now is that pesky opponent. rolleyes whee

This pesky opponent is going to show you a thing or two about a bloodbath, alright.

@ Management: I've been exchanging PMs with 'pesky opponent', with intermittent absences on my end. If he had to go offline and doesn't get a post off today, I'd like it noted that the delay was because of my schedule.
