You refuse to kill, even as a knight who has a duty to protect the innocent? Oh, you think you just need to be train enough to subdue an opponent through non lethal means? You can rely on others to pick up the slack when you come up short? Would you let yourself be beaten and stabbed? Would you leave the fate of a villain in the hands of those they have wronged? Would you let an innocent die? Haw much are you willing to sacrifice for your ideals? At what point does mercy become negligence? How much blood are your ideals worth?
