So useful, thanks a lot.

What a great video thanks

Great video. Thanks. Pls more of these 🙏

Wow thanks a lot !!!! Everyday I watching your video clip

Awsome, thanx! I'm a new subscriber here, and as a former sabre-fencer I truely enjoyed it. Looking forward to see more!

Wonderful, wonderful video that goes incredibly in depth; I find we still really lack these beautiful explainers with both regular and slow-motion video to show the beginner (me!) how these things work. Will definitely check out your other videos for more!

Very good thank you

my first tournament is Saturday, y-14 I will certainly be using these!!

nice work! Thanks for sharing this.

Nicely presented, and a fine explanation. I fenced Foil in my youth and now switched to Sabre, and boy, it is great! Can't imagine why so many fencers stick to epee. It was also interesting for me to see how a HEMA sabre fencer acts diffferently (mande a video about it on my channel), and I think your tips and tricks will spicen up our little duels nicely. You make me look forward to cross blades soon again ...

Very very good lessons . Thanks n’y france

This a great video! Could you please make a video about the advantages and disadvantages of starting a bout with a fast advance and then slow advance and vice versa

I am using this a day before my in club tournament. I really hope this works! Thanks!!

Have you ever considered doing a video on frequent injuries, and go into more precise detail of how to avoid foot and leg based injuries with correct placement of the feet and knees etc during footwork. I know you have already done several videos on correct footwork but you didn't go into much detail about minor details such as which part of the foot you land on etc in relation to injury prevention. This is something no there fencing channel I know of has covered, and you seem by far the most knowledgeable on the topic. Thank you.

awesome

+100500 $ большое спасибо за видео. Жаль, что больше нет ваших уроков в видео.

Really really good. Having things like this broken down will help so many fencers. Will there be any for foil in the future? On a side note you move very well. Lovely clean and fast actions. Bet you are a nightmare to fence :P

Dude of Valor Thanks! I just did a video about counter attacks in Foil. If you haven’t already, you should check it out. I will for sure do more videos of Foil fencers in the future.

I lose lots of points when my opponent touches my glove (sabre). Could you please make a video for the best ways to minimise or defend this type of attack? Thanks :-)

When pulling your opponent short, what are the advantages to stopping vs jumping back after your first advance?

@FencersEdge

3 жыл бұрын

Great question. It depends on the length of your opponent’s attack. If your opponent has a long reaching attack then the jump back or cross over retreat will probably be your best option. However, ideally you want to make them miss by the smallest amount possible so you can land your repost before they have time to recover. That being said, the most important thing is making them miss. So it’s definitely better to make them miss by a lot than not pulling enough distance and getting hit. Hope this answers your question. Let me know if you need further clarification.

@@FencersEdge Perfect, thank you! I'm asking because I noticed in one of my bouts, I was always the one to lose the point if my opponent tried the stopping distance trap when I did my jump back. The jump back was the only one I was taught, so learning other variations was great!

@FencersEdge

3 жыл бұрын

@@matthewpham9525 you’re welcome! Yeah, if both fencers are going for the distance trap at the same time but one fencer just stops and the other fencer doses a jump back. The fencer that just stopped will usually be able to start moving forward again faster then the fencer that did the jump back. When you get comfortable with the distance timing and your speed, you will be able to stop and read your opponent to see if you need to add the jump back or cross over. This takes lots of practice, split second reflexes and an excellent judgment of distance.

I was told in saber the hight doesn't matter or not as much as itvmatters in Epee. Is that true?

Sorry, but all those preparations in the 4m are way too big.

It would be helpful if you could be more specific... What about the preparations do you think are "way too big"? Why do you think that? What do you recommend? Your feedback is appreciated and would help me help more fencers. Thanks!

@@FencersEdge Preparations (steps, balestra, slides etc.) from the 4m need to be small and offer some change in pace. Have a look at the super-neat footwork of Olga Kharlan on any of the videos of her on KZread. The first "step" often sees the foot advancing no more than heel placed on the en garde line.

@FencersEdge

Thanks for your feedback! I appreciate the advice. I agree with you that small steps off the line are great! I use them often. However, I think it's important to switch up both the speed and size of your steps off the line. If you watch the top fencers in the world like Szilagyi, Homer, Gu, Oh, and yes... Kharlan and many others, they all do a very good job of mixing up their preparation steps off the line. I like to take a bigger step when I'm pulling distance. I find that it helps me get closer to my opponent faster, thus making them rush their finish and allowing me to stop and pull them short. When I'm going for attack in prep. I want it to look just like my distance trap footwork, so I take a bigger step with that action as well.

at 5:50 he crosses his feet while pulling distance and if you were in a tournament you would get carded. take more care in your footwork. xx

tyler Litton you can cross your feet when moving backwards in saber. You will only get carded if you’re crossing your feet while moving forward. Knowing the rules is important!
