It's because the really good people know how to score without being close enough to lop your oppenent's head off. The beginners like to whack, whack, whack... and it hurts... xp

Velisarios aerie98 I thinked a thought i thunked i remembered awhile go. Wouldn't it sometimes, if you're agressive, be good to dodge back a swipe and then striking against against the unbalanced opponent? (works in stick wars but i know stick wars and fencing are very different) I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say... do you mean like retreating and then doing a sort of flick to the wrist? or doing a pasata sotto/inquartata and then attacking into your opponent? confused question If they swipe towards you in a swing you step back in a dodge and strike when they're off balance, that only works if the opponent is agrressive though. And yeah what you said I guess

And yeah what you said I guess Yeah, that works. I was playing around with that trick yesterday at practice, and it seems to work on the freight train type sabrists. Although it's best achieved until you wait until last moment and parry prime/sixte paired with a jump several feet back. That will only unbalance them. Really, the best defence against those people is to establish a point in line, wait either for a prise de fer or for them to attack into it. For the latter case you have right of way so it doesn't matter; for the former just a step back/disengage works well enough.
