2. Fencing practice skills

2.1. Attack step: stand well in actual combat posture. Take the hand, keep your heels still, lift your toes and lift your knees. Push the hind legs hard and throw the front legs out to form a lunge. In the stereotypical posture, the front calf is perpendicular to the ground, and the thigh is parallel to the ground. The back hand is parallel to the thigh, and the front hand is straight and at the same height as the nose. We should shout slogans when we do attack practice.

2.2. Direct stabbing practice: the two players stand facing each other in the actual combat posture, extend the sword hand forward, adjust the distance, and then one side stabs the other side directly, forming an arch after stabbing. The stabbed side doesn’t need to defend.

2.3. Take a step forward: stand well in actual combat posture. Take a step forward with your front leg and follow up with your back leg. The heel of the front leg lands first, and the toe of the back foot lands first. When moving forward, the body’s center of gravity should not fluctuate and should be stable.

2.4. Take a step back: stand well in actual combat posture. Take a step back with your hind legs and follow your front legs further. When retreating, the toe of the back leg lands first, and the heel of the front leg lands first. The center of gravity remains the same when you step back. The distance between the feet does not change.

3. Matters needing attention in fencing practice

3.1 follow the principle of gradual and orderly progress, and do not rush for quick success and instant benefits. The most important principle in learning fencing is systematicness. Only by arranging learning and training plans correctly, scientifically and reasonably can we better master fencing skills. We must not covet too much and try to be fast, otherwise we will not achieve speed.

3.2. Have self-protection ability. The process that fencing learning must go through is actual combat. It is easy to get hurt if you carry out actual combat without wearing protective equipment. Therefore, it is a better self-protection measure to wear protective equipment during actual combat practice. Protective equipment includes fencing helmet (steel visor), competition suit, gloves, competition socks and competition sword.

What are the characteristics of fencing

1. Combination of competition and training and promotion of training by competition: according to the characteristics of fencing, the International Fencing Federation has further increased the number of competitions. All fencing powers have generally adopted the method of combination of competition and training and promotion of training by competition, so as to improve the technical and tactical level and actual combat ability of athletes, find out shortcomings in competitions and carry out targeted training.

2. Psychological quality is the key to winning: changes in characteristics such as fast-paced, short-distance and concise movements have increased the starting weight of the competition. If you start well, you can often take the initiative in the whole game. The competition system of the direct knockout competition will cause greater psychological pressure to both sides of the competition. If we grasp the encounter well, we can step up a big step, otherwise we will be eliminated.

3. Be proactive and control your opponent: according to the rules of the competition, a fencing competition is limited both in time and number of swords. Therefore, the fencing competition is short in time and fast in pace, which means that athletes can take a proactive and self-centered approach to control their opponents in a shorter time, find out their loopholes as soon as possible, do not give them breathing space, and take decisive countermeasures.

4. Outstanding specialty and strong comprehensive ability: from the technical analysis of the top 8 athletes of various sword types in recent world competitions, it can be seen that they are generally outstanding in technical characteristics and very confident in the handling of key events and key swords.

Any hit that reaches any part of the opponent’s body is a tangible, physical and substantial hit.

3. Draw: in nine minutes, if the two sides are even, an extra minute will be played, using the sudden death method. In order to prevent both sides from defending excessively, the drawing of lots before extra time determines that if both sides fail to score in extra time.
