Sword Placement, Grips, and Footwork

This lesson has intentionally been left pretty bare bones and hasn’t (yet) been fully documented. Since fencing is so nuanced and this particular lesson is so dependent on the individual instructor’s perspective it is left open for interpretation.

To teach it effectively, you must immerse yourself in the subject, study it thoroughly, and understand the safety concerns, general principles, and training ideas associated with it. This journey requires dedication and a proactive approach to learning. One that we all experience on the path of swordsmanship.

Don’t hesitate to seek guidance from other experienced teachers who can provide valuable insights and help deepen your understanding. Embrace the challenge, and may your pursuit and preparation be as rewarding to you as it is to your students.
