Excellent demonstration! I like the concise delivery. It looks like you might have been pivoting off-line while stepping back - was I hallucinating that, or was that intentional?

Such a fun drill⚔️⚔️

See y’all in a couple hours! ⚔️

Thanks for sharing this. Can see how this lesson would have helped me yesterday if I'd applied more brains instead of just closing distance.

The masks hide it but those are some handsome devils.

I really like the apparent focus on maintaining contact and geometries while attacking - neat work! Thanks for sharing!

Awww that parry at 1:38 was awesome

Great stuff for practicing both roles in isolation and I run a similar drill at my club along with the suggestions below. Also, that's some solid Winden. I agree with Ryan's assessment of the movement. Just add some more markers if space allows to the sides that way the one in the Vor can maneuver the one in the Nach around a bit more dynamically. Or you could try having the one in the Nach randomly switch to offense at any point or even ending the drill with a properly timed and placed Meisterhau. Then just reset. I'd also make sure the one in the Nach occasionally allows themselves to be hit in order to keep the attacks of the one in the Vor honest.

Thank you for sharing this drill! I was really interested to see the way y'all handle the change from Attack to Defense organically. In my experience with a lot of arts, there are pure Attack / pure Defense drills that tend to fall into either Tik-Tok - metronomic rhythms which fail to replicate actual conflict - or Brave Idiot Abuse - wherein the Attacker, knowing that their partner will only be defending, takes risks that would be lethal mistakes against a crafty foe. By keeping a line and offering general guidelines for the switch, you seem to keep the benefits of a drill while also allowing for some organic flexibility, which is rad. As a possible modification, I would be interested to see the drill worked with horizontal / rotary movement instead of linear advance / retreat.
