Great breakdown! Thank you!

[@diamondlenasan]

you are SO right. My coach showed me that you need some kind of plan. You are correct that many times the mentality is "just hit". yea. that's great if you can just do that but as you said at competition. people are on it I can get some good hand touches at practice, but at competition sometimes i swear I just don't see a hand ever. Can't even get them to show it to me! careful!!! So as I learned to be patient to wait and to set up my actions i'd watch fencers and realize just like you said, they just "go for it". Not gonna work all the time. And if you have two people who go for it all the time and it's 14-14. how do you win? you get lucky? no. my coach said you need to know why you got a touch and why you didn't. Frankly i am amazed at how many fencers don't have any idea why they are going for a touch. That's foil and epee. He told me "you decide how the touch happens" and i try to live by that. Also Bida's latest interview with Cyrus he said "if it takes a minute to set it up, it takes a minute". great video you did here very good information. many coaches don't teach setups.

On the strip "people are fencing a lot safer, locking things down". Great quote. Which brings up a question. I have a few top-ranked French guys in my club. They know me now, and they absolutely punish me, at a pace I think is a lot faster than they would normally in a match. Part of my strategy of fighting back is also keeping up with their pace, but also implementing what I learn in private lessons. How do I settle things down at my pace, while learning, and competing at the same time in practice? I want to get less caught up in winning, which is easy, but I also want to maintain there respect, and slow things down a little?

[@GPFencing]

Theres a pace after touches too, practice taking your time to get enguarde(within reason) this will give you time to think, if they have high pace without pushing, means you have room to good back and pull them in. Make sure you do turn the "gear" back on 2 weeks before a comp though.

@@GPFencing Thanks for writing back will take note!

[@Fortisfox]

Great video. Completely agree. This touches on the tactical and psychological game that doesn't get talked about enough. Looking for patterns and windows of opportunity to hit or to provoke, fencing calmly, applying pressure over time to your opponent, setting up actions... . Some of this is mindset and can be difficult to teach but very much worthwhile.

thank you gp fencing for enlightening me with this video

Thanks!

I showed this to my 8 year old. At that age i think its a bit different, but i think she got the point. She even tells me there are kids in her class who are so hard about winning in training. Im working out a plan with her so she focuses more on trying things she learns in privat lessons but in real fencing scenarios and less about winning. Its early, but i think its not a bad idea to have her mindset on improving her skills this way, she wants to fence at the gala so bad next year 😅

I think a good interpretation of this is quit doing what’s you’re already good at in practice, and start practicing what you know needs improvement.

Great video GP 😤😤

Awesome video, thank you!

Could you make a video of each team that will compete in the Olympic Games?

[@amingo4818]

Interesting video. Describes my situation pretty well. In my class we practice lunges often, but in tournaments I find everyone else is locked down. As though all my opponents are only practicing counters while moving backwards. They get real time coaching to not move forward and "meet him in the middle!". In pools when they face each other a bout will be tied 2-2 after 3 minutes, without much happening. Their area of expertise is counters so I need to avoid slow lunges, but attacking is what we train in class. Like the other posted mentioned, why are we training to hit the hand when there's never a hand to hit in tournaments?

C'était un de mes défi au cours de la dernière année; accepter de perdre en entrainement pour me permettre d'essayer d'apprendre de nouvelles choses. C'est pas toujours facile mais ça en vaut la peine.
