My Father, Igor Svidnytskiy showing here how to take an effective second-intentioned parry riposte in the gym where everything started for me!
General Tip: don't parry because you are panicking, have a plan and funnel your opponent towards it!

I wanna send some appreciations for your channel. I'm HEMA longsword practitioner, but I'm getting a lot of stuff from Olympic Fencing for tactical training. Not to mention a lot of stuff described in historical manuscripts matches what is currently teached in modern fencing. Your content is awsome and a lot of tactical advices you present here are easly transferable to my weapon. Thanks and keep it going!

That's amazing! Actually, secretly I always wanted to try HEMA. I was always curious to see how different is it to fence with Olympic epee vs fencing with historical rapier. I am very happy you find it useful. Let me know if you have any video suggestions for HEMA community.

​@@HowtoFencingbyYarikandTim Rapier is definitely not so nimble as modern epee. Weight way more and is balanced differently. Some additional conditioning effort is required at the begining, to reinforce your hand to being able to use it effectively and control the point. Gripping is different. Somehow simillar to french but hand is not profiled AND you have the crossguard which you usually grip over with index finger. Anyway it is hard to move point only with your finger tips as you can imagine :)) Not to mention that rapier can cut but that depends on convention. Some people only practice it as thrust only. And another story is that many people also use it combined with offhand short dagger which changes the game completely. So there are a lot of possibilities :) Definitely give it a try if you have an opportunity! It may be great way to broaden your horizons.
