"Hello, I'm Cody Stahlecker, I'm a representative of Expert Village and I'll be teaching staff fighting. You're at a defense, make sure so their staff comes down between your hands, you don't want it to hit your hands. When it comes down you can either push forward, pull backward, then push forward, then you jump back. Just make sure you're out of their range, that's all.

If you're not sure then all you have to do is just pull back and then come back forward again."
