Start with three shields up, and when you talk to the NPC to start the duel, start mashing 3 (For the champion you have to fight for rank up, let him get to you, then move away from him while he does his spiel.).
When you run through him after the charge, circle back around and mash 2 while you walk towards him.
You've probably lost a shield at this point, put it back up.
Keep smacking 1 until he starts to back up again, then keep hitting 3, when you charge through, circle around again and hit 2.
Always keep three shields up. If you lose one, put it up. If your charge is down when the guy goes to back up (Because you just put a shield up.), then keep on the guy's ass so that he can't charge you.
About the only times I lose are when I get distracted, or someone outside tries to "help" by attacking my opponent, throwing me out of my groove.
I actually was looking into making a video with this strat because I know a few people that are having issues with it. My co-worker did the strategy listed you suggested, but eventually asked me for my method because she said it took a long time.
