When fencing someone same-handed as yourself, you must correct the distance (distance is closer when R-L fencers) and ensure the thumb is directing the approach of the blade to the intended target (R-R fencer is same as L-L fencer).
@@osmfencing you also need to have angulation on the blade. What I am unsure of is whether it's better to parry with that angulation, or parry kind of vertically and then adjust the angle of the blade as you riposte. Thoughts?
More videos please - these are great. Thank you for helping keep fencing alive on youtube!
Yes! More Videos would be great. Maybe also with a right handed student.
This is good - but what about 2 right handers? / 2 left handers
