i'm looking forward to the next sabre-season. was wondering what kind of solo drills anyone here finds particularly helpful to keep their game sharp.

peace

Footwork, especially turn the corner (double-advance, double retreat, double-advance-lunge, jump back, double retreat....) footwork. Working in a mirror is ideal.

Fencing dummy--nine cuts (low flank, flank, outside shoulder, outside cheek, head, inside cheek, chest, belly), w/extension, w/double-tapping, w/advance, w/advance-lunge.

Feint flank, cut head, as above. The same with the other combinations of feint-cuts.

Double feint-cut, as above.

Parry 3, riposte to flank, to head, to chest, standing, w/retreat-advance. The same with parry 4, 5, 2 and 1.

Parries w/feint-cut riposte.

Don't forget to work on your point attacks/point ripostes.

'Nuff?

MR
