Defense Tips for Saber Fencing

Ready, fence. Whoa, very good. Good. Oh, that was mine. Oh, he went through the blade again. That was mine. Oh, you missed. You can't miss, can't miss. Ah, the light wasn't ready. Good. Avoid going through the blade. That's a good one for slow motion. So swing it around in a different way. Good, very good. So that's the thing. It takes practice to be able to have that moment where you realize that you now can take control. Or if you have to pick up the ball. I dropped the ball, you knocked the ball out of my hand. Now it's just floating on the court, somebody's got to pick it up. I might pick it up again. Watch again, one more. Ready. Good, that was yours. Ready, good. Very good. Watch that hand, it comes off the target. Oh, one on the arm. Ah, into the chest. How do you block that one? You go. Yeah, you have to go to that next position. And maybe back up. Distance is your friend. All right, so that's a lot of work. I'm sure you're going to enjoy it.
