As a veteran fencer, these steps are just gold. As I am approaching the "scrap heap of life", I need to be smarter to get my points. These videos are worth every cent I contribute. Thanks Coach Tyler.
These deep technical aspects of fencing footwork is actually tactical and strategical movements. Advanced athletes must include these as regular footwork regime practices. If ladder training is abc footwork your video would by wyz movements and we can build more tactics from that point. Thank you very much Tayler this is priceless.
Thank you for this - I've been trying to figure out the skip lunge for a while and wasn't sure why it would come out unnaturally - great content as usual! Additionally, I find the clips of the feint being performed in an actual bout to be extremely useful and really appreciate that you took the time to add it in between explanations.
Fantastic video and something I know if you can nail down you will score lots of hits! Really look forward to work on the slide and check. Also thank you again for the video on flick hits. Since then I am so much more aware of how to perform the action, why it has failed and even landing them.
Thank you so much! I help teach saber and I have a hard time explaining some of these concepts. Also, one of the other commenters mentioned a video on the saber march. I too, would love it if you made a video on it.
Great video Coach Tyler! As a Fencing coach myself, this would help my athletes in Foil and Sabre to improve their Feint Footwork. Would you provide tips on improving Footwork and Feint Footwork for Epee fencers? Thanks in advance Coach Tyler!
Great informative video! I have been told at the club that my footwork tends to be a little loud/stompy all the time and is rather obvious and predictable. Any ideas for exercises I can do to keep things lighter and quieter?
One thing you can do is video yourself (or have some video) during a match. Really helps to see what people are talking about when you can watch it. Other things is that every time you practice footwork, do is slow and technically correct. Learn the technique and then you will naturally build up speed with it. So much of fencing is based on footwork that nailing it down as soon as (and continue to learn and adapt) will really help your fencing. Don't skip on footwork training at club nights, have lessons and fence those better than yourself. Lastly FencersEdge has some great footwork videos which will also help.
Absolutely not, some of my teams parents (like 40 or older) started practicing with us, our coach encourages it actually, it's very fun so I wouldn't worry about age, just enjoy yourself and do your best
Aaah, more stuff! Great. I have just done a compilation of 6 common mistakes in footwork and stance (for Jugger fencing in my case): czcams.com/video/rkhQBV5NqUU/video.html Any suggestions for the most common footwork mistakes you did observe in your training sessions, Tyler? I would be grateful to learn about those of the Olympic fencing side. Addendum: Just a technical annotation, it might be helpful if you could mark the fencer doing the technique in the "live footage", at the beginning of a sequence. This would make it easier for the viewers to focus on the person performing it right from the start. But that's just nit-picking, brilliant work!
@@FencersEdge Pleasure! Keep up the good work, especially now where many of us are confined to "lonely training" and longing for good content to study theory, at least ...
czcams.com/video/2pLhLoh_IWg/video.html Video from FencersEdge which I think will answer your question. In short it is lunging while wit holding the arm until the moment your front foot is about to land from the lunge. This causes panic to the opponent as they are being attacked but have no idea which line the blade is going to come and get them, nor when it is going to happen.
im really trying to learn right now, but all my brain seems to want to think of is "what if an olympic sabre fencer and a military sabre fencer had a bout with real victorian sabres?" and "what if two military sabre fencers fenced with olympic fencing equipment, on an olympic fencing piest?" and "what if two olympic sabre fencers fenced with historical military sabre fencing equipment, on a three dimensional playzone?" and all of the same thoughts with smallsword-foil as well. shut up brain, learn some footwork. (the footwork is 70% translatable for historical fencing, the lunge is a bit deep, and there are no passing advances, and its linear. those are all the differences with footwork. also, flinging the sword isnt a thing in fencing with real swords, because it reduces the quality and range of your stabs. the reason is, in real sword fights, youre not trying to just touch, youre trying to go through your opponent, while at the same time defending yourself. this is the biggest concern when flinging your thrust, you lose defence, even if you hit them seconds before, youre still going to be run through, especially with long arse rapiers.)

Bro taught us what some people would charge 1000 dollars to learn for free. Respect.
I fence HEMA, and this is exactly what I wanted from Olympic fencing. Thank you for the lesson!

I think your tee spring link is broken. Also, you should put a direct link to patreon. Great video, thanks!

Veteran fencing (over 40) is a lot of fun.
