Thank you!

If done at the same time, this would be read as simultaneous. If you can separate who initiated Line first, that fencer would possess RoW.

I would not offer any percentage values but footwork is essential in fencing. Maintaining and developing your footwork will contribute to the rest of your training.

Those who are actively competing are typically using BF FIE blades while those who are newer to fencing are using non-FIE blades.

One of the original videos to the channel when things were still being figured out regarding editing ;)

Can't offer a percentage as there's no data to really work off of for that. A flick is not a significant "fix all" action, but it does help diversify your capabilities against a variety of opponents. Essentially, it allows you to hit targets that are not directly facing you, such as the back, shoulder, etc., and is effective when distance is reduced.

As a general rule, you would want to keep your foot flat to the ground as this will reduce the risk of rolling your ankle when recovering from the lunge. However, in cases of deep lunges, the foot will drag and roll.

Not exclusively. In this case, the two actions are being combined into the lesson with prime following the flick as you described.

Nice videos 👍

We do not have an active account at this time but are considering restarting our old one.

A variation coming soon next week :)

If attempting this against a taller opponent, no significant changes are required. However, if your opponent is standing up, this would not be a suitable means of landing a touch on the target area. Please see the other infighting options.

It'll be coming soon ;)

There are one or two structured videos on the channel that go over this action. However, we will be working on putting together a new and full video of it soon.

When fencing someone same-handed as yourself, you must correct the distance (distance is closer when R-L fencers) and ensure the thumb is directing the approach of the blade to the intended target (R-R fencer is same as L-L fencer).

@@osmfencing you also need to have angulation on the blade. What I am unsure of is whether it's better to parry with that angulation, or parry kind of vertically and then adjust the angle of the blade as you riposte. Thoughts?

It is difficult to correct an issue without first analyzing why the action is not successful. Try the following based on diagnosis of action: 1). If falling short, adjust distance or extend your lunge. 2). If opponent is escaping your attack by retreating, adjust the initiation of your attack by shortening distance through a fluid extension of the arm. 3). If passing the target, adjust distance by initiating the attack from further away. 4). If point control is the issue, relax the shoulder and initiate from the hand. Whenever confronted with unsuccessful actions, play around with the execution of that action to try and pinpoint where the issue might be. Try making small adjustments rather than pushing the same action over and over again.

Make sure you always take videos of your fencing, whether practice or tournament. The easiest way to diagnose an issue is to be able to view it from a third-party viewpoint. Sit down with your coach or fencing friends on a regular basis and look for things that you and/or your opponents are doing that are leading to success.

Thanks, are u a fencer or a coach

@@foundanimation2136 Both. The fencing style I teach is not accepted by the general fencing community and is only applicable to epee.

You may be telegraphing your strike. Like they are all saying - video yourself. You'll be shocked at all the work ahead of you...😅

We have some foil parry videos in our Lesson Minis playlist as well as our Foil Lessons & Explanations playlist. If there is a specific parry you would like to work on that is not featured in any of the videos, feel free to make a request.

Yes! More Videos would be great. Maybe also with a right handed student.

U suck

I believe we have something coming up for epee that uses a disengagement. Hopefully, it'll be available soon.

We have new lesson content planned and it will either be available the end of summer or during the winter. We will see about adding additional demonstrations of preparation.

@@osmfencing thank you! I love your videos they are helpful for reviewing for a strong foundation

If any students agree, we will see what we can do. However, do take advantage of the various foil lesson videos available on the channel.

And thanks for your videos it helped a lot

Two points to focus on to help improve your attack and avoid effecting a counter attack: 1). Distance 2). Tempo There is no need to be overly aggressive and push an action, especially if you are not sure when to begin the attack. For this reason, you will want to maintain a sense of distance (separation) between yourself and the opponent. Slowing your tempo by "creeping" forward or taking slower advances will give you time to see what is happening and to identify the distance to be right for an attack. Save the "speed" for initiating the attack.

I will try to do that .And thanks for your help

You put on a fine show!
