I’d never heard of using circle parries to stick to a preferred line/parry. Great idea!

Ask you
This video was very helpful
Could you please make a video of the right and left versions from the right arm side?

The execution of these parries against a left-handed fencer would be done the same as when applied against a right-handed fencer. The only significant difference is the distance between opponents. We will see about revisiting this video in the future to give it a left-hand perspective.
