Well structured and straightforward. I haven’t been integrating the tactical wheel into my lessons as much recently but I will start doing so this weekend. You need to do a follow up video and include the next step ‘feint into the counterattack’. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your comment. Glad to know I've help your creativity and coaching! Sometimes, a simple reminder is all we need. Yes, the next 'wheel' is on the agenda. Vinnie Bradford was kind enough to be a consultant on this. It's one thing to know it. It's another to have specifics for uniformity of knowledge. So, hang tight! ;)
watched the tactical wheel first and it was interesting... a good way of explaining action and reaction to certain moves... oops.. that bit belongs on the other video...lol interesting concept... thanks, don't know if had it so simply explained - not bad simple but good simple and made good sense!!! it makes it that much easier to explain: that if you get attacked parry... if attacked sixte parry sixte and riposte .. well wherever you choose but don't keep doing the same line riposte else the opponent will become aware of it and automatically parry that line...lol... sorry I do go on...I guess but the idea is a novel one and expanding upon it has so many variations.... is there one of these online showing options and ideas? or is it in a book... probably a book.... thankyou for enthusing me again... finding it hard to get enthusiastic these days (my lack of motivation... somewhat..)
Nice, but you needed to take this one step further. Answer to a counterattack is back to the first spoke of the wheel, attack. Attack beats counterattack. I learned this from my first coach 26 years ago, this and the advanced tactical wheel which goes... Attack Parry riposte Disengage Counterattack Countertime (parry of the counterattack) Feint in Time (disengage against a parry performed against a counterattack) Attack (done against a Feint in Time) The thing is, I gave up on this, both as a fencer and a coach, for foil. The reason being you can't count on any modern foil fencer (someone who doesn't fence like it's 1970) to actually extend enough on a disengage attack for your counterattack to catch it with opposition. But as an epee coach I do teach this. One final point. The way I was taught, the counterattack against the disengage was considered "correct" in ROW, because one is a compound action and the other is a simple action. The "1" of the counterattacker would have priority over the "1, 2" of the attacker. Another way of looking at it is the attacker has no reason to disengage against an opponent who is not parrying. Of course you're never going to find a modern foil ref calling that. Attack in Preparation is not in their vocabulary. Thanks for the vid.
Ahhh, I'm giving bite size morsels at a time. ;) There are plenty of D and under level fencers (as well as C and over for that matter) who don't know this. And, too much loses an audience. Having said that, it doesn't mean there isn't be a second video on the tactical wheel in the works. (hint, hint) And for any additional, there needs to be a grounding of understanding. So, stay tuned, share, and keep watching. THANKS for your input!
@@cyranosplace8356 This was very good explanation of the short tactial wheel ( it's the only one I've ever seen online). It is not the be all and end all but it's a darn good teaching device that many fencers don't know about.
Clearest explanation by far

very well done, great Ted sounds like a voice from the sky though.
Cool thank you for sharing! :-)

interesting concept... thanks, don't know if had it so simply explained - not bad simple but good simple and made good sense!!! it makes it that much easier to explain:
that if you get attacked parry... if attacked sixte parry sixte and riposte .. well wherever you choose but don't keep doing the same line riposte else the opponent will become aware of it and automatically parry that line...lol... sorry I do go on...I guess but the idea is a novel one and expanding upon it has so many variations....
is there one of these online showing options and ideas? or is it in a book... probably a book....
thankyou for enthusing me again... finding it hard to get enthusiastic these days (my lack of motivation... somewhat..)
Working on building a library of this sort of thing. Thank you for more specific ideas to get to!
