Working on Flicks

Coach Orion Stone-McNeil working with Assistant Instructor Evangeline Bisal on flicks in various lines and setups (i.e. flick to six/sixte, four/quarte, back).
A flick executed from parry six/sixte is effective when the opponent has lunged or leaned forward.
A step-in flick to four/quarte is effective against counter attacks or displacement of target.
A flick executed from a fleche is effective against opponents retreating or at a distance who are leaning forward or prepared for a direct attack.

More videos please - these are great. Thank you for helping keep fencing alive on youtube!

Yes! More Videos would be great. Maybe also with a right handed student.

This is good - but what about 2 right handers? / 2 left handers

When fencing someone same-handed as yourself, you must correct the distance (distance is closer when R-L fencers) and ensure the thumb is directing the approach of the blade to the intended target (R-R fencer is same as L-L fencer).

@@osmfencing you also need to have angulation on the blade. What I am unsure of is whether it's better to parry with that angulation, or parry kind of vertically and then adjust the angle of the blade as you riposte. Thoughts?
