How to Think About Parry 4 | Fencing Tutorial [Bladework] (Foil, Epee)

Hi All, Sorry for the huge delay in posting. We’ve been really busy working on a ton of projects, which we can’t wait to share with you! In the meantime, please enjoy this Mr. Miagi-style video showing good parry 4 technique versus bad technique. With a good parry 4, we defend away from ourselves, deflecting the opponent’s blade while leaving their target with our tip. With a bad parry 4, we actually help the opponent score by cradling their blade into our target! Please keep in mind, everyone has their own preferences with how they ’take the blade,’ and there are definitely some situations that call for the backwards motion of the hand. In general, though, we recommend keeping one’s hand in front of themselves, even when we parry or threaten the opponent’s target. Please let us know your thoughts and feel free to send us videos of you trying out this exercise! eli@ Take care, S-class Fencing ////////////////////// Patreon: GoFundMe: Radical 10% Discount Code: Enter “SCHENKEL10“ at checkout Cyrus of Chaos: …
