It is alot easier to change direction on a red sword after it has run tnto something. If the red sword fighter hits nothing but air, especially if he is swinging hard, all the momentum he has created now becomes his enemy.
Charge, stop and either charge again or lunge after the blade goes by you.

DONT DO THIS! Charging after a competent red fighter means your gonna get some shot to your side/leg and if you duck low enough your head.

P.S. I ALWAYS try to punch-block his blows, and it works pretty well. That freaking back-peddling keeps him safe though.
