LOVE that you focus so many of these on footwork. Footwork is the ONE thing that is almost entirely under your control and it can make so many things possible (or harder). It's always amazing to see fencers who look more like they're gliding on ice than moving on a piste. And keeping the back arm too far back can also be covering target. Beginners are not likely to face many flicks to the back, but it is covering target. Sliding the back leg on a lunge is also a good way to injure your back ankle.

Thank you very much

Great video! Most newbie fencers don't know they are doing at least some of these mistakes.

Thx for the really helpful video!

So nice

Dope video!!!

Okay, but putting your nonfencing arm behind your back is non generally wrong/not allowed, right? I have quite hyper mobile joints and it actually not only helps me stand straighter, but much more 'sideways', therefore, gives my opponent much less attacking space vs. if I had my arm up in the air which would make me learn towards the front more, giving my opponent more space to attack on.

Very cool intro card 😄
