- In celebration of World Fencing Today, we are posting one of our most requested videos: how to flick. Here, Chloe will show us how you can learn the flicking movement in just one minute. Please note this is was her first time learning the movement, and that when you try, don't freak out if you mess up! Flicking is arguably the most difficult movement in fencing, which is why so many people spend hours of practice trying to get it down. To be honest, we were debating posting this for a while (note my old haircut from a few years ago), as flicks can be such a powerful move. Keep in mind, this video doesn't tell you WHEN you should flick, or how to use it in a real match, so stay tuned to level-up your fencing knowledge ;)
On another note, I have seen many saber fencers strike using the forward-push of the thumb to accelerate their tip, just like the foil flick. If you use a different method to cut, or a different method to flick with a French grip (looking at you, epee people), please let us know how in the comments below!
If you found this video interesting or useful, please don't hesitate to like, subscribe, and consider donating to our Patreon (link below). The more support we gain for these videos, the more time we can spend creating online fencing content, including our full curriculum. We really hope to contribute as much as we can to the global fencing community :)
Take care y'all!

Thank you for letting Prince try out Foil at your club! And the wonderful footwork trainings!
That's interesting! So, the way I was taught to flick was to let the grip move in my hand a little bit and to get the wrist above the tip. I'll have try this when I practice on Monday :-)
I don't know if I agree with this method of flicking. Race Imboden produced a video that is similar to this video. I think when you do a slow replay, it may look like this is what's happening. However, it only seems this way because the momentum of the blade is forcing you to bend your wrist. You are not intentionally doing so. To do a proper flick , you need to flick the point in. It's not merely about the angle from a high point.
If you flick as in this video, you won't be able to hit a fencer's back when he's upright. The only reason this kid can hit the teacher is because he's bending over.
nice that ur back, ur videos are rly helpful
Thanks so much! We're hoping to post when we can. Please let us know if there are any specific topics you'd like us to cover!
