    not necessarily. i had some crazy sleep hrs the night be4 a comp... blanked out the last bout. The first part went well, then i just blanked out after the first rest. i was winning 8-6 and i lost 15-8... fell asleep. my advantage is that i move on my legs and im mobile with good footwork. when i fall asleep... well, i get splattered...

    Hmm, you fell asleep and then were hit 9 times in a row. Maybe you were fencing Freddy Kruger.

    What?! Has he reinvented the wheel?

    Seriously, what a silly concept! If your opponent knows the next spoke on the wheel, too, he knows what you're likely to do next, no? Very helpful, I'm sure.
    Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!

    Confusious say:

    Fencer who overuses the tactical wheel gets something full of hot air.
