[He looks briefly satisfied with himself that he's managed to stump Dave momentarily, but that was his own mistake here. That was assuming Dave would take more than a millisecond to know what to do next and there's a sudden noise of surprise as the sword starts slashing and hacking at the hammer.
He's able to block because he has fought sword to hammer before but Dave is still fast and Dave still has years of training and experience on his side. He's trying to dig his weight to the ground but he's also taking a step back, pushing with the hammer to try and recreate Dave's flip over.
Granted, it's John, and that doesn't work so all that happens is he bounces and lands face-first in the sand. So that's fine. Everything was fine up until he tried to do something out of the ordinary for himself.]
