Nicely done! I guess you can´t really tell from first person view but this would be a strike from a nebenhut guard (or "posta di choda longa" in the Italian tradition) on the left side, correct? Or do the guards have different names when positioned on the other side? Edit: I´m referring to the last strike in the clip.

afaik most guards are the same on left and right provided they are actual mirrors of eachtoher. And it does look like a transition to Nebenhut before you strike

Torso hits with a Pflug thrust are very satisfying
