Foil Disengaging

Work on developing and improving your skill at making tight and controlled disengagements in foil. Make sure that your opponent can't catch you with their searching parries next time you fence by following along with these exercises.

I have done some broken time attacks in my fencing. I like the strategy a lot... until I get called 'attack in prep'.

[@osmfencing]

Broken time has its limitations and "attack in prep" is certainly one of them. Very much a situational phrase best employed when you know your opponent favours searching for your blade rather than looking for a window in your preparation.

@@osmfencing That's true. I've recently learned and drilled several new actions for my fencing, including this broken time attack. I have lots of options when fencing but I need to get better at knowing what action is appropriate and how to time them. My broken time attack is great when my opponent falls for it and makes a parry. If they make a counter attack however, I lose the point.
