  • @theresistancelives yes it will, if it doesn't it means that the flick was poorly executed.

  • His last name sums up this video nicely.

  • i dont even fence foil, and i totally disagree, i coach foil and i wouldnt recommend this at all

  • @theresistancelives As much as i hate this guy, and disagree with most of what he's saying, a flick, if done properly, will land.

  • ummmm... how would u no where to parry or hit or move if ur watching the feet. fail....

  • and i thought that i was a fail.

    YOU DO NOT FLICK IN COMPETITION! THE MACHINE WON'T PICK IT UP!for the love of...

  • For the love of... BEND DOWN. Your en garde is hideous and your finishing extension will make your point bounce off target. Emphasize finishing form.

  • wtf

  • Your opponents interpretation of your action will dictate how they react. You cannot generalise by saying your opponent will react this way. To your action they will do one of 5 things. 1. Attack 2. Counter Attack 3. Retreat 4. Advance (closing distance)5. Nothing

    From a technichal/tactical point of view the preparation with point out of line shown in the Balestra 1:03 is known as an invitation and is more likely to draw an attack on preparation rather than an offensive action.

  • Most good fencers do not watch the feet. Haha!!! Most good fencers (from research) have their direct line of sight on the upper half of the body (Chest up) and peripheral vision watching everything else including the sword although momentary glances are common at certain points in the fight.
