Chapter 54 Significant Effect

"How should you defend and exert force when facing a downward chopping attack from an opponent stronger than you?"

Elder John scratched his head and took up a defensive stance, his tone carrying hints of uncertainty.

"Um, like this?"

Matthew glanced over and recorded the data, logging it in comprehensive detail, then said to Angela on the side:

"Slightly lower your center of gravity, step back with your left leg, bend your right leg and brace forward, grip the weapon with both hands, hold the shield with both arms, and tilt the contact angle slightly..."

Angela, who had already caught on to something, took notes while silently digesting the information.

Opening all the offensive stances, Matthew continued with the second item:

"How would your defensive move be against an attack that's faster than you and stabbing from behind?"

Upon hearing this, Angela promptly mimicked the corresponding action from behind Elder John.
