@@Bridgeman13 for some students yes. Also almost all of France's, Estonian, Ukrainian, Israeli, Denmark's, German, Americans girls were doing lessons as well. Further, some of these top nations were even doing lessons after poules and before Direct Elimination starts. You can make arguments for both, but in my opinion most older Eastern European coaches were simply lazy and came up with arguments that it makes things worse.

@@seirahefn1100 Thank you for such a sweet comment!! I agree, some of these stories are absolutely fascinating 😍

Yeah same and like I have noticed that i've been getting that way pretty good defender but like I can't be always passive and wait enemy to attack

thank you :) hope to run into you one day

Good luck 🤞🍀

💯 at my club it's mandatory

You're 100% right! But in my experience when I taught beginners like that in the past they tended to step back with a bent arm and then attack with a bent(or late) arm. So now I choose to teach a beginner this way. Again in my experience this tends to have them attack with straighter arm.

​​@@HowtoFencingbyYarikandTimthx for answering. I'm beginning trainer myself, so I'll keep this advice in mind.

Glad it was helpful! ☺️

If you CAN'T get out then opposition into the body would be a good option But if you CAN get out then you'll never get hit. In this lesson we worked on getting out on purpose

I'll try to be more active, was busy opening a club of my own ;)

It's epee.

Thank you, hope it helps ☺️

Ahhhh was not the finest hour...

Thank you!!!! ☺️

Thanks! Well you know it's like learning a new language...for some reason we first remember funny words and cuss words. I was just making sure that my information was sticking to her 😅

She understood the assignment 😅

Thank YOU 😊😊

Hooray! Your a great coach. Your lessons have changed my fencing. Thanks ✊🏻

​@@Bridgeman13❤❤❤ super happy it's helping

You are welcome! 🤗

To be honest the the grip choice is not as important as how you use it. With a French grip you'll need emphasize more of attack on recovery with a feint and disengage. While with pistol you'd still focus on attack in recovery but with second intention blade-take attack (ie. 8/6 or 6/4 etc)

Доброго дня, дякую за вашу турботу. Слава богу нічого не сталось. Просто ми дуже багато працюємо та нажаль не вистачає часу знімати/монтувати/завантажувати відосікі. Під час ковіду було багато вільного часу то ось ми з Яріком грались. Але може ще повернемося:))))

@@HowtoFencingbyYarikandTim Радий що все гаразд!

Thank you 😊

😅😂🤣 What happened?

Of course! My oldest student is 75 :)))

@@HowtoFencingbyYarikandTim ah. I may have to connect with Tim on this!

Дякую за просування мого контенту :)))

@@HowtoFencingbyYarikandTim ещё добавлю , что тренер во время урока должен быть сухой, а ученик мокрый от пота, поэтому поменьше пустых передвижений и побольше уколов для ученика, в шпаге важна набивалка, а не фехтовалка,

​@@HowtoFencingbyYarikandTim привет Канаде и Игорю Тихомирову, фехтовал с ним на чемпионате СССР в середине 80х г.

Слава Україні! Почнемо так...дізнаємось чи ти вартий спілкування...

thats when it's ideal to lunge, or just attack in some form, because they will have a shorter reach than you
