For basics in foil fencing, most of what he says is REAL helpful for beginners. Dont hate on him unless you can prove you are better

Just an add-on to the basic on-guard stance, i recommend getting lower than he does for stability and increased mobility. :D

Going to a 90minute session for free next week. Maybe if I like it ill try fencing. I get really dedicated when it comes to my hobbies. All I can do now is practice basic stuff :D

shut up y'all 4 sayin' this vid is bad you should make one yourself if you know so much, and i think that this is really helpful 4 ppl who just want a general/basic idea of fencing

Can one start learning fencing at 30? I am also not fit anymore :-(

[mysticpiggyx]

Rear heel should be raised for mobility.

i would give him a real blade and still fence him, i don't think you could possibly prove to be worse than this clown
