how to fence

HOW to FENCE

Fencing has been around since the 18th century,

and lives to this day. Fencing originated in Spain

but is used in other countries , such as Germany

and France. In fencing (interestingly enough) they

don’t call it a ‘stab’ they call it a ‘touch’. The sword

they use in fencing looks like a very thin and fragile

sword, but can pierce through the human body.

En Garde

The first step in fencing is called EN GARDE. En garde

(also known as ‘on guard’) is the most basic move in fencing.

You put your dominant leg in front, facing your opponent,

and your back leg facing left or right (whatever feels most comfortable.)

then  bend your knees, enough that it doesn’t hurt and raise your hand

to look like an L for balance. 

Advance

Following that, the next technique is named ADVANCE

Advance is another simple one,  your front foot moves forward one step,

and your back leg follows (whilst staying in the same position.)

Retreat 

Retreat is just the opposite of Advance.

Front leg moves back one step so your two feet make an

L, then your back foot follows.
