Tips for sword fighting on land?

[TheManeEvent]

Hey guys I'm gonna sound like a big noob when saying this but, does anyone have any tips for sword fighting on land? I already know how to strafe, and how to use the fishing rod technique but whenever I'm fighting someone who's at least decent at PvP I'm never able to win a sword fight and I always have to rely on my bow and my FnS. While doing that has been working out for I don't want to have to rely on bows and FnS because they're just too much of a variable to rely on. In one game I could have a stack of arrows and a hotbar full of flint and steels but in another game I could have 3 arrows and no flint and steel. I want to be able to rely on my sword skills when I don't have any arrows or flint and steel. Thanks for any tips you can give me and like I said I already know how to strafe and how to use the fishing rod trick.

NO! Don't block hit! It slows you down, and shortens your reach!!

Just hold down the space bar while attacking, It causes powerful critical hits and can drop enemies a lot more quicker normally resulting in you being the victor. And combining strafing with jumping , you can take out players who have a lot more better gear than you.

People call haxs on me when I fight like that. They say i have derp and aimbot. What it looks like on my screen is me jumping around and following the persons movement superfast. Whenever I play like that im usually moving my mouse realllyyyyy fast.
