Coach Tyler, greetings from India! I’ve just started off with fencing a couple months back, and you have no idea how helpful your videos are turning out for me, besides of course what’s being taught to me at my academy. So thank you, and keep them coming! Cheers!
Thank you very much for the video. Personally I preferred this style of video, five repetitions is enough to understand the correct form of doing the drills, while at the same time considerably reducing the production time for you. With regards to ideas about future videos, I have a few: I would really appreciate a video showing some basics of holding the epee (very much like this one) what I mean is where movements should be coming from ie. fingers rather than wrist, not leaning forward, positioning of weapon while en garde, etc. Your videos have helped me realize that I have many basics not quite right and fixing them leads to massive improvements. Along the same lines. How about one where you discuss the common mistakes you see in your students. I'm sure everyone here is bound to share more than one of those. Also, a follow up to this video where you explain what angle is ideal for what. ie. which one may be best to counter what style, what body part you'd normally be aiming at with which angle or things along those lines. Further on. A similar video to this one with parries and/or defensive techniques would also be superb. Once again, thank you for taking the time to make this and your other videos. They make a big difference to those of us without access to private classes. Keep up the good work.
Your videos are my savior! Thank god youtube recommendation algorithm is a genius. I bet this kind of your devotion makes more and more new kids on this block. Thank you. :)
I've been looking for an exercise I can do at home. Then I discovered these videos. I did four semesters of fencing (foil/sabre) in college many years ago. These blade work drills are a good home workout! I practice my perry-ripostes, lunges, foot-work, etc. in my living room. There is no fencing club near me for instruction, so I have no one to fence with (besides I'm old, 64). But I can do these drills at home. I have hung up a tennis ball I can poke at to improve my aim and point control. This is giving me exercise and I'm having fun. Thank you!
Hello Coach Tyler. I just basically started yesterday, Oct. 30, 2023. I live in Kansas and I'm at K-State at the K-State Fencing Club. My Instructor is Coach Todd. I'm starting out with the foil. I would like to see the full training version, where you do the full training segments with us.
you should move the video behind you so we can also have a view has if we were the fencer hitting the target, but otherwise your video is precise and to the point (no punt intended)...lol
I'm struggling alot ... I'm good while practing but as soon as I go on the strips to play I mess it up...so I'm tring to be more disciplined with my practices...your channel helps alot. But still I haven't gotten much better . Thanks for your great channel
Keep at it! Fencing is a very complex sport that makes high demands of you both physically and mentally. It can take some time to train your mind and body to react properly. Everyone looses a lot when the first start. Stay positive, keep learning and having fun and I'm sure you will stat seeing positive results soon!
Thanks Tyler matey! ;) 😃😃😃 Épée is Fenninger in its purest form ain’t it?! ;) 😃😃😃 Épée’s my weapon and I had to stick to foil for 4 and half years before I was ever allowed to fence épée! XD
Just remember your technique and also don't forget the other person too is nervous. Take your time one touch at the time, be happy you are doing a sport you love, don't think about what you can do bad think what you can do good. Good luck!
Hi Coach Tyler, I am really enjoying your coaching sessions. Just wondering whether these exercises are the same for a French grip or are there any alterations that need to be had? Cheers.
Thank you so much for this! I'm actually a student of Filipino Martial Arts and am using this to help strengthen my jab angles and build speed. I was wondering: what do you think of using a resistance band to make the push harder?
Hi coach.. while doing targeting we don't have to follow lines of attack.. as if we virtually think or assume then the high outside line of ours 'll be the high inside line of the opponent..
all good ideas -- ? re 4 angle touches-- when do you move the bell into 4? it looks like you're moving into 4 as you hit. BTW where to you get the dummy? thanks

That is great!
Coach Tyler, your videos are really helpful please give some tips for competition..As I get stressed during competition which spoils my performance

Sorry i m jean claude from France. Thanks another Time

Thanks a lot from jean claude France i have nicolas Lopez for teacher

You need to show them from the front as well.
Maybe from above, focused on your arm.
Thanks, I will take that into consideration. I am filming these video by myself and I only have one camera. So for now this is the best I can do.
@@FencersEdge get someone to help you once in a while, you must have friends?

Are you breaking your wrist to achieve the attack angle?
If by "breaking" you mean bending... Yes :)
Mais videos de espada por favor!
Only one observation| before & after hitting the target your elbow must be away from torso by 12 -15cm ( or 4 opened fingers )!!!!
Hi coach, I think this type is ok, you don't have to do the whole thing with us. But would be nicer if you do like 10 examples or so instead of 5
The beautiful thing about a youtube video is that you can rewind it mate
I feel the pain just watching this 😑
French grip>pistol & Italian
Your opinion
I'm very new I preferred show what to do pause next pause no offense but watching poke 59 times each would get boring to watch
