Hello(I am Foil fencer) There's a problem with me From some time my attacks started missing (not landing on target). I am verry annoyed with that so can you please tell me some drills or videos to help me to land my attacks more on target.I have practiced targeting very much but no improvement is showing
It is difficult to correct an issue without first analyzing why the action is not successful. Try the following based on diagnosis of action: 1). If falling short, adjust distance or extend your lunge. 2). If opponent is escaping your attack by retreating, adjust the initiation of your attack by shortening distance through a fluid extension of the arm. 3). If passing the target, adjust distance by initiating the attack from further away. 4). If point control is the issue, relax the shoulder and initiate from the hand. Whenever confronted with unsuccessful actions, play around with the execution of that action to try and pinpoint where the issue might be. Try making small adjustments rather than pushing the same action over and over again.
Make sure you always take videos of your fencing, whether practice or tournament. The easiest way to diagnose an issue is to be able to view it from a third-party viewpoint. Sit down with your coach or fencing friends on a regular basis and look for things that you and/or your opponents are doing that are leading to success.

@@foundanimation2136 Both. The fencing style I teach is not accepted by the general fencing community and is only applicable to epee.
You may be telegraphing your strike. Like they are all saying - video yourself. You'll be shocked at all the work ahead of you...😅
