The key in this lesson is paying attention to opponents front foot. If you are engaging with a TALLER opponent and they have an active arm but a front foot that doesn't move towards you then you have no business reaching past their wrist/knee or toe (short attacks only)...However if opponent starts committing with a front foot towards you, with intent to score , then you have a perfect opportunity for attack on prep.
Basic Idea: We attack on prep in order to bring a taller opponent closer to us.

I like the opening, it is so cool!

@quattobeast 2 года назад

I love this video. I am 6'5", so I almost never see a taller fencer than me, but I love to know what to look out for from shorter fencer.

Yea no doubt, do your best to not over commit on attacks or on prep....when you lose your balance that's when you are vulnerable

@erkocab 2 года назад

enjoying these series.. how about the opposite -- when you are the taller fencing against a smaller fencer?

@HowtoFencingbyYarikandTim 2 года назад

hahah good point! ill work on it...just need to find an applicable candidate for a lesson ;)

@mickhurley7305 Год назад

I agree. I'm searching for videos on how to fence as a taller person. Do you know of any?

@rjevskyfencing777 Год назад

Pretty good drill. Although, when there is greater difference in fencers heights, you as a shorter fencer can forget about top of the opponent's wrist and arm. It almost ALWAYS gonna be behind the guard, above your comfortable tip line. With greater height difference wouldn't it be more reasonable to aim under the wrist and arm? When I was into my first tournaments, I was getting frustrated with tall fencers, as they seemed inpenetrable in terms of defense. Especially when they go into "hermit" mode, and don't do anything at all, leading into non-action penalty! Only now I start to figure things out what works against tall folks, and the options are not too abundant.

@HowtoFencingbyYarikandTim Год назад

Absolutely NO! If your opponent is better than you, regardless of height do not go under (except for few rare opportunities) Against tall opponent do not go under either. Person underneath will lose that exchange 9 out of 10 times. Much more important quality is the fact that they do not have a way to hit you over the top. If you can prevent a taller opponent to hit you over top then THEY (not you) will have to think of other ways to score. Therefore you'll force your taller opponent to score hits in ways where they no longer rely on height. Now if you are still under 5 years into the sport it may take few more years to get good and hitting over the top and setting up opportunities to get through the bellguard or through "hermit" mode. Enjoy the process

As shorter person, should a person be using french grip instead ?

@HowtoFencingbyYarikandTim 5 месяцев назад

To be honest the the grip choice is not as important as how you use it. With a French grip you'll need emphasize more of attack on recovery with a feint and disengage. While with pistol you'd still focus on attack in recovery but with second intention blade-take attack (ie. 8/6 or 6/4 etc)
