Lesson 30
Lesson from practice today. The main goal of the lesson was to introduce the student to feints and then exam several ways that they can be defeated.
- From the instructor’s invitation in 3rd, straight thrust.
- From the instructor’s engagement in 3rd, disengagement.
- From the student’s engagement in 3rd, glide.
- From the student’s engagement in 3rd, simple parry of 4th, riposte by glide.
- From the instructor’s invitation in 3rd, feint direct and disengagement.
- From the instructor’s invitation in 4th, feint direct and disengagement.
- From the instructor’s invitation in 3rd, double feint direct and disengagement.
- From the student’s engagement in 3rd, simple parry of 4th, simple parry of 3rd, riposte by glide.
- From the student’s engagement in 3rd, simple parry of 4th, time thrust in 3rd.
- From the student’s engagement in 3rd, time thrust in 4th (instructor still executes feint).*
- From the student’s engagement in 3rd, arrest.*
Notes:
10* The instructor can demonstrate what happens if the attacker’s disengagement is too large and, when the opponent does not parry, ends up attacking into a closed line.
11* For opposite handed opponents, the arrest is to the low line, hand in 4th, opposition to the inside.
