I have a lot to learn, too. But we who know we have a lot to learn are the better students, right?
If you see an opportunity, take it. But the trouble is, even in mock combat, that there isn't just one opponent to deal with...there's the guy next to him on both sides, and the ones behind him, etc. When line fighting, though, one thing we try to do is keep an eye on the guy on your sword side...if you get a clear kill on the guy in front of you, chances are the one on your right isn't watching you, and you can sneak a hit on his sword side while he's engaged with your buddy to your right.
We have a lot of fun, and the swords aren't hard enough to hurt much. But it's an interesting hobby.
