Great stuff, would love to see more of this type of analysis and breakdown of patterns and movement.

[@wamo62]

As a beginning fencer, I really appreciate the talking through of the various movements before seeing them in action.

I'm a newish foil coach. this is really important stuff to think about. Thank you for posting

[@piggeboye]

nice lesson david. good presentation of the possibilities of hitting with simple actions, done at the right time and distance.

[@AaronAcosta1]

this is great for me. I am just getting to the point where I have good technique, but need to concentrate on timing and creating openings. this gives me some great things to think about and try.

[@MulishaKnights]

[@AdamBen115]

this has to be epee right

[@MCY0104]

Yes, this is Epee. 2 give-aways; he tries to go for the head a lot, as you noticed. Secondly, the guard is bigger on the sword than it is on foil.
