What bothers me though are backstabbers. I've been on the field going toe to toe with another fighter and about to strike a good blow and someone has run up behind me and just whapped me. It made me angrier that this kid a. bragged about it and b. was on my team.

But at practice where im trying to get better at fighting to have someone run around and stab you in the back is just stupid and thats why i leg them and teach them at least to fight on the ground.

You know a lot by broad thinking.
There are two main types of skill involved in the playing of our game.
There are weapon skills which is a seeming main focus but then there are movement skills which cover a lot of topics.
It's worth pondering about.

A young Florentine fighter's sacrifice to disable a skilled veteran, may be a worthy bargain for the battle.
Consider a good fighter that usually takes out a good six people. If a young fighter (or old fart), sacrifices themselves to kill that good fighter, the team survives with more numbers and can shift the tide of the battle.
This is an honorable death. It isn't terribly skilled, but it is effective and historically realistic.
I understand the frustration of a good fighter at being stopped from wreaking havoc by a kamikaze Florentiner, but those crazy ones are ones that are often looking for the best strategy to win the war, not just the fight.
To brag (like it took skill), is just foolhearty. To relish in the look of a skilled fighter as you fly through the air with a dagger double greening them in the chest... priceless.

No, it's bad sportsmanship.
Like I said earlier, every person you drive away from the sport by being a jackass to instead of talking with to help improve is someone who could have been an excellent asset to your realm.
