So am I, though the point is to be armoured against one's opponent. ;-)

Actually it wasn't that I nimbly stepped in front of the dagger, it was that George, the fellow I was fencing, nimbly stepped aside just as you threw, leaving me the vulnerable target. It wouldn't have been quite so bad had George even known you were throwing at him, but as he had his back to you was ignorant of the fact. It was just a happenstance of the combat, much to my dismay and the amusement of the crowd watching.
