Attack In Preparation in Advanced Sabre Fencing

JASON SHERIDAN: On behalf of Expert Village, this is Jason Sheridan of Sheridan Fencing Academy here in New York City. Today, we're going to talk about advanced sabre fencing. One of the things to keep in mind is as you are coming forward and you are preparing to make your attack, you are not actually attacking and you can actually be scored against during this time if you're not carefully. This is called attack in preparation. If, as you're moving forward and your arm is back, your opponent hits you, it will be their touch. Watch carefully. Start a little bit closer, girls. In this case, Emma begins preparing her attack and as she does, she is hit in the head. It doesn't have to be the head, of course, but she's hit anyway. This time Rachel makes the attack, rather the preparation, and Emma will attack as she comes forward. Let's try it again, the goal to be hitting before they begin extending their arm. Watch again. It doesn't matter. Very good. Again, hitting her in preparation as she is moving forward.
