Gienn was patiently blocking as Philli'p moved quickly. All three strikes were easy to defend from. Too easy, in fact. Before Gienn realized it, his apprentices blade slashed at his thigh.
At the moment of impact, everything slowed, and Gienn twisted and writhed through the air, narrowly dragging his leg away before the attack would have been legitimate. With a mid air cartwheel, Gienn landed opposite his apprentices attack, and gave a short rap on the back with his low powered blade.
"Excellent form. Don't be discouraged. If there's anything I'm meant for, it's avoiding and evading. You've done well so far, but swordplay can never rely solely on offense. Blocking is similar to attacking when using Juyo. Simply allow your blade to step between you and that which aims to kill you."
Gienn stepped back and took an offensive position. He lunged forward with his left foot and twisted around his right side, bring his blade through a horizontal slash from the left in a full spin. As his blade reached Philli'ps left side, Gienn used the Force to shift his feet and momentum. Now his right foot led, and all of his strength was careening through his blade from the right for a follow up slash.
