Really trying to get the book complete which is hard, I never realized I was so much of a procrastinator ...
Anyway, it's close, and at the moment I'm having a highly entertaining time with the Glossary
A sample :-)

– Without it all else is pointless
Baiting
– Feigned error to cause an aggressive reaction in the opponent
Blade
Angle – Direction the edge of the blade is facing in relation to
the angle of the cut

– Separates left from right. Also, where you are standing if you
get hit.
Cube
of Doom – Area in between you and the opponent where the hand can
be hit
Crunchy
Tiger – Technique to get your partner to move by hitting them in
the ego
Cut
Angle – Angle at which the sword moves through the air when swung
Double
Death – Both players die, simultaneously or as one inadvisedly
basks in their moment of glory
Drill
– A means to an end
Evasion
– Getting out of harm's way a.k.a A very good idea
Exit
– The most often forgotten, yet most important part of surviving an
encounter with blades
Faking
– A stratagem to cause a defensive reaction in the opponent that is
not what it seems
Footwork

Hello Maija,
It's not "Laziness", it's what Steven Pressfield calls "Resistance". But because you know It, It won't win over you!
You can do it! Many people are anxiously awaiting your Book!
Very truly yours,

Faking – A stratagem to cause a defensive reaction in the opponent that is not what it seems
Syntax quibble -- "that is not what it seems' is modifying "defensive reaction," not "strategem" in this formulation.
Thanks! Fixed :-)
