It's true that your opponent can choose whatever guard he wants, but a higher guard like Crown doesn't cover the line of attack from a long guard thrust immediately and due to lack of blade contact is reliant completely on reflexes for defense which can be unreliable and could lead to a double kill. It is possible to defend a long guard thrust using a raised blade guard, but that requires very precise spacing and timing and it's generally safer to not use that as a defense. 2. Vid of disengage for rapier, but applies to other weapons too: youtube.com/watch?v=wUfODCEPv4Y | |

It's not as far down as fool's stance (or iron door), but more like if you point to the navel instead of the throat in long guard. Some german fencing specifically recommends breaking/overcoming long guard with a sideways cut, btw. | |

A cut requires raising the blade only if not already in a 'raised blade' guard like the crown. The opponent of Sir Longugard can chose any stance. 2. I think I know what You mean by 'disengage' but probably I don't. Please ling a video or a chaper of a manual in the second paragraph. | |
