- Riposte with Control: A riposte is a return attack after a block. It is a very reactive move, so it should be done with care.
- Your Opponent is Vulnerable: Your opponent is most vulnerable during and immediately after their attack. You are in control of their safety at that moment.
- There Is Always Another Chance: Not every block needs to be followed by an attack. If it’s not good or not safe, just wait.

- Most Effective Way To Win: Block/attack combos are the most effective way to get a kill because your opponent is most exposed. You have a direct line past their defense along their same line of attack.
- Block THEN Attack: It is tempting to combine a block and attack into a single action, but remember to block FIRST. With practice, the time between your block and attack will decrease.
- Find What Comes Naturally: There are many different ways to riposte. Find what feels comfortable and natural to you. Don’t force what feels odd.
