Wide and narrow play (gioco largo and gioco stretto) are essential to understanding how to size up an opponent and create counter-strategies. They are also essential tools for understanding and building your fundamental fencing skills.
In this series you will learn about:
- Wide and narrow play as a way of analyzing guards (point away and on-line).
- Determining opening actions and counter-strategies.
- As a way to analyze crossings and how to work from them (binding and clearing as stretto and largo).
- As a mode of fighting, tight and close (stretto), wide and flowing (largo) and how to counter those modes.
