Look the following:
The flick is another method of hitting with the point of one's weapon without thrusting.When you flick, you stop the progress of your blade suddenly and allow the flexibility of the blade to swing the tip only forward.this brings the sensor around and allows it to hit as though thrusting.
The flick is very useful for going around your opponent's defense. Like a jumpshot in basketball or an end run in football, when the defense closes the direct approach off, the attacker must simply take another approach, around or over.
Though most common in foil, the flick is used in all three weapons.
The most important thing to remember is that the weapon should be held loosely until the moment of the flick. It must be allowed to move freely in the hand to develop the momentum it needs to bend in upon itself.
Relax the hand, and push it forward, above your opponent's lame if you intend to hit the back or shoulder.
Sharply close the hand and pull the grip down without interrupting the forward movment of the hand.
As the tip moves down toward the lame', push the hand into the target to ensure that the tip hits point first and scores.
Fleche: lit. "arrow"; an attack in which the aggressor leaps off his leading foot, attempts to make the hit, and then passes the opponent at a run.
