Countering Point On-Line Fencers (Sidesword Scholar)

In this series we'll explore how to counter and control an opponent who is trying to force gioco stretto (point on line fencing). You'll learn:

• Clearing the center and opening up gioco largo (wide play)
• Dealing with common counters such as disengaging and collecting
• Controlling the center through advantage
• Safely provoking the point on-line fencer through feints, invitations, and earnest attacks.

This series is great to do with a partner or sword dummy.
