Royal Infantry Combatives Manual/Two-Handed Arm Techniques

<h2 data-rte-spaces-before="1" data-rte-spaces-after="1"> Parrying and Evading </h2>
<p data-rte-fromparser="true">When it comes to the defense of this style of fighting, it is lacking. While not completely defenseless, two-handed Armsmen are more about pressing the attack and less about defending. Parrying, is the preferred method of defense with this weapon type. That is to deflect your opponent's attack with your weapon by pushing it away from you in any direction. Many strikes can be achieved immediately after a parry as the action alone can expose the attacker to a counter attack. 
</p>
Evading is also a basic, but reliable tactic for the two-handed Armsman, simply side step or back step away from the opponent's attack to avoid it, one can also bend at the waist to avoid an attack.<div class="placeholder placeholder-double-brackets" data-rte-instance="1944697-16143452736005c633c3527" data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22double-brackets%22%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%7B%7BTfrdivider1%7D%7D%22%2C%22lineStart%22%3A%22%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22Tfrdivider1%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%7D" contenteditable="false" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">&#x200b;
