Yes, a first person perspective would be helpful, however if you fence just a little you know what they do anyways.

Lol 😂 never seen a more honest comment in my life

Thanks for saying it bro

Doesn't it depend on the tradition you follow? They might not be following a school that throw the arm back.

@@matthewpham9525 no its a modern thing. Not necessarily bad. There are numerous older texts, but one of the best is The Fencer's Companion by Leon Bertrand which you can still find on Amazon. All of them emphasize use of the back arm. In modern Olympic style fencing, the emphasis on relaxation and speed have reduced the back arm action. If you look at some recent footage, use of the back arm still comes into play used as a counterbalance and frequently thrown back in the lung, just not held in the classical position throughout the match, which honestly is tiring too. But beginners should understand that an extra burst of power can come from the arm properly thrown back and can also bring one out of the lunge quicker when used as a counter balance, like a squirrel's tail.

Usually in a match the parry is much faster and stronger, so it would normally swat the blade away. However, for the demo, the fencers made it slower for the viewers to see.

Ouais, s'il vous plait

get a chestplate and if you dont wanna get hurt then don't fence because it will hurt if your don't have enough protection

counter attack
