| If you find as a tall person that you are being pissed off by a short opponent, the answer is clearly to close in , and then lift up your front leg, open up, and piss on your opponent : you see he or she pissed you off , and now you are pissing ON him.

| As a fencer who is both short and tall, I can say that I agree with everything that's been said here. Being "height challenged" at both ends of the spectrum has caused great difficulties for me on the strip. Sometimes I wish people of so-called "average height" would be disallowed from competition.

| tall people have a different visual perception than do short people, [that calls for a study]  | |

| Short answer, improve your sense of distance and timing. Talk to your coach for work on that area. | |

| If you are a like short fencer who is being pissed off by the taller ones, then a suitable fencing move is to like open your pants in front, and at the right moment , close the distance, and like piss on your opponents shoe. You will understand the principle: he pisses you OFF, so you compensate, and piss him ON. How about that ? --- "i was PISSED ON by this short-*** opponent " - a nice change from all the pissing OFF that goes on.

| By my count, that would be three...unless the opponent replied in kind, making four... | |
