How to Parry 4 (Quarte) in Sabre Fencing

JASON SHERIDAN: On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Jason Sheridan from the Sheridan Fencing Academy here in New York City, and today, we're going to demonstrate some intermediate sabre fencing. If an attack comes to your chest, you'll use parry four, like so. Watch carefully as the girls demonstrate parry four, very smoothly across the body like so. As one girl attacks to the other's chest, she makes a very relax, very smooth parry four, closing off this line of target. From here, she's, again, completely relaxed and able to make any movement she wants without any strain. Come back on guard. It's a movement that starts in the fingers. All parries start in the fingers, turning the guard to make the parry. This is key, turn the guard to make the parry. Go ahead, very relaxed, no strain at all. Why don't we do it from a different angle so that they can get it a little more forward? Go ahead, very nice.
