Question about Epee

**The0ne** · 01-22-2004 09:45 PM

Tell her to switch to foil because it is much better!!

When I fool around with Epee (I am 5' 8" or so so alot of people are taller than me) I always peck at the hand, then once in a while fake to the hand disengage flesche or something. The key is if you are fencing a taller opponent is screwing around with the distance, and taking the blade. Since I don't know any epee parries besides prime, I just screw with distance!!!

Most epeeists like to parry in Sixte since you can avoid dragging the point across your chest.
