True Fight Strategy with Rapier

What strategic tools are most useful against a particular fighter or opponent?

Against Approachers: These two lessons explore strategies relevant to an opponent that is willing to approach. The first opponent seeks to attack right from the beginning of engagement. The second opponent is more concerned about getting strong control of the sword.

Against Receivers: We continue our exploration of opponents and their dispositions, this time focusing on those that retreat or wait for us to approach. Not to be confused with passive, our first opponent is sitting back and waiting for an opportunity to attack as we come forward. Our second opponent won’t give us much, instead occupying themselves with endless retreating and defending.
