great move and a lot of epee fencers can be perplexed about what you are doing!

Perfect video

Awesome demo!

What is the second parry? The first is clearly high Prime, the third Low Quarte and the last looks like Low Tierce but could be low Sixte. I've been taught the angle of the wrist would make it High Septime and then protected quadrant would reinforce that but the line would make it High Sixte, but I learned High Sixte differently.

We had a big discussion at the course as well. Our conclusion was sexte parry.

Great example could you do it in foil?

[@Bethspeedy]

Hi. We are attending the epee coach course so not able at this time.

[@dontflyspirit6535]

Often, I take a 6 then lunge, but my opponent keeps on doing this prime. How do I counter that?

[@Bethspeedy]

Maybe you can now anticipate the prime parry and do an immediate fork thrust before the riposte, as a sort of 2nd intention action?

В бою это всё бессмысленные действия, которые пробиваются на ура

[@Bethspeedy]

We practice what our master says
