@p4cm4n182 yeah, you can. in a fencing fight, begginers usually try that first, as it does make sense. But parries are designed that way that you don't need almost any real FORCE to block somebody's attack; they simply LOCK-OUT the tip of the sword. See, the tip is the one that makes the hit, and a parry removes the tip just outside your bodyline - locks it out - so that you have to retract the sword and repeat the hit. And swinging wildly doesn't help; one countre-sixte and you're locked out :D
Yeah, actually you can. Crazy swings are the slowest and most telegraphed. I'm not a fencer, but a boxer, but still the same basic rules of combat apply. The fastest attack is a thrusting attack (like a jab). It's quick and you can't see it coming. When someone swings wildly, they use up energy and the weapon must travel a larger distance, making it slower. Also, with a good defense, you use minimal amounts of energy to block or defend the attack.
what i dont understand about this is why people just bounce their sword back and forth, if it was a real fight, im sure someone would just run straight at the other, waving crazily, you cant really use your sword to block that
