You should quit boxing. Fencing is better 🤣

@@monkeydonk3925 yeah because fencers get paid 50 mil per match

You're welcome!

Thank you! I'm happy to hear you are enjoying my videos. I hope they bring you the best of results!

Nothing special I’m 17 fencing vs 25 year olds

Cadets not 18 years old lmao

Usually you are already retreating when the crossover is necessary. However, the crossover can be used from a stand still as well. I don't think it is necessary to make a retreat before you crossover.

Thanks

like the french kiss of death too

Good questions. I'm not sure... I have never timed the difference between the different retreats. As far as the breathing goes, I have never thought about coordinating my breathing with my movements. I do however like to take a smooth deep breath before each touch (at the en guarde line before the ref says fence)

Fencer's Edge: I suppose to measure the time difference between the various retreats would be important only to support the claim that one retreat, when executed skillfully, is quicker or more useful than another. While I appreciate the constellation of variables that come into play during a retreat (and an attack) I do wonder if it’s possible to identify and list the basic performance indicators (energy expenditure, balance and speed being just three) of a well executed retreat? And, as far as breathing goes, because it is always influenced by movement and vice-versa, I believe it’s imperative to identify what breathing techniques enable and impede the execution of a given set of movements. I suspect even being conscious of breathing and movement coordination can help? Lots to think about and even more to learn, thanks for the video!

Very good point. I only recommend the arm pull in saber. Foil and Epee I recommend leaving the arm in front to either parry or counter. Thank you for bringing this up. I didn't make that point clear enough in the video.

Your right I did! My mistake. thanks for pointing this out. Also you don't always have to turn the shoulder and pull the arm. One thing I forgot to mention in the video, is that in epee and in foil it's actually better to leave the blade in front of your body.

Khumallambam Yaiphaba one way is to crouch a little lower and load up the back leg before you lunge. Make the move subtle before you go as to not telegraph it to your opponent.

Stay tuned! I will do a video about this in the future.

hahaha!
