Your fencing always impresses me, so maybe you can answer my question, and this is mainly with saber, but anything really. I can guard incoming strikes well enough, I can see targets and hit them, but when I strike I double more than I would like. What am I missing?
Often a laser focus on hitting an available opening gets in the way of defense. Your opponent is always open to be hit somewhere, but not all openings are safe, therfore it's better to set up and create a safe opening, forcing your opponent to respect your threat, than attempt to exploit mistakes or openings that may never appear in a profitable way
Great choice of music!
