That's a flawed analogy as people tend to run horizontally.

For that to "work" you'd have to move (faster) in the same direction of the baton – meaning downwards towards the ground. Realistically you'd end up on the ground, crouching, and still within reach of a blow. It could kinda work if the trajectory is diagonal 'cos you'd roll away but you'd still be in an awkward position to avoid a blow.

    Well, he asked how it worked, and that's how physics work. Doesn't matter if it horisontal, diagonal or vertical

    Oh, and the first commenter just mentioned moving away
