Hi Byron, this is of course a warm up lesson before the individual D.E.s so basically firing everything up I guess with familiar routines. Must have worked because Alex picked up a medal that day. However, although Alex is a great fencer and Greg is obviously a great coach, I've never felt inclined to take things from these lessons, all these circles seem an odd thing to be doing to me. We had a coaching course with Ziemek Wojciechowsky during the Summer and he highlighted the bout with Alex Massialas and Lawrence Halsted (unfortunately, I was on the other side of the room so I haven't got a video of this) where Lawrence gets a succession of remises where Alex's parry riposte is not sufficiently tight, very interesting to compare this bout with what's going on in the lesson.
