You have to bring your "balancing arm" higher to get beter balance!!!

[polessethe]

What style grip are you using?

Predictability is death, you need to have a variety of techniques and mix them up. A sneaky trick is to do a bunch of short lunges, and when your opponents get mesmerized by that, out of nowhere do a long one. They won't know what hit them.

You may as well take an advance throw a faint and retreat... seams pointless. :s

This was very useful, thanks. I have a tournament tommorow and I feel so nervous, I think I forgot how to fence. GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!

great video. I spent all last night trying to score with my big lunge and everyone in my club got wise. All this work on my big lunge, I forgot that the short lunge can be more effective. can't wait to mix it up abit next time.
