Foil fencing lesson - Young Fencer U12

[@benjaminkorn1758]

I never get tired of watching this lesson. I notice new things each time I watch it. The jump in and jump back to provoke attack is a terrific idea defeat the fencer who fences with absence of blade. And the tiny gesture for getting student to attack on Maestro's lifting of front foot is perfect.

Tienes un video de coordinacion y trabajos de pilometria que vi cuando estaba empezando como monitor deportivo. Hoy en dia por distintas circunstancias estoy alejado de la enseñanza de esgrima, pero me he convertido ya en entrenador de iniciacion y sigo viendo tus videos. Muchas gracias por compartirlos.

Gáborka 2016 szeptemberében kezdett vívásra járni, de nálunk a klubban az elso 1/2 év csak elokészíto játékok vannak a második félévben lábmunka fegyverrel, az nélkul, iskola, és csak az elso szezon végén április, május kezdenek a gyerekek egymás ellen vívni. :-)

at the beginning of the lesson, what's the purpose of hitting the target twice in a row?

[@jozefnagy]

@@BenYu-j9g The purpose is for the young fencer to learn to stab vigorously, dynamically, but at the same time to be able to regulate muscle tension again in the point after the hit and stab as quickly as possible. Many young beginner fencers put too much force into the point, which results in that in addition to the point with their hands, they also lean into the hit with their body and are unable to react immediately after hitting the opponent, or even not hitting, for example after the opponent covers. So, in summary, the points in succession help to achieve better muscle cooperation and gain better point technique.
