On the other hand, St. Georges Guard focuses on defending against thrusts with precise parries. Meanwhile, the Inside Guard ensures maximum coverage when facing opponents head-on. With its Half Circle Guard stance, this broadsword enables fighters to create a strong defensive barrier while maintaining offensive capabilities in close-quarter combat situations.
