----------------------------------------------------------- New Message on Irish Fencing Forum
----------------------------------------------------------- From: DexterSin Message 5 in Discussion I thought that the new timings worked pretty well, and that most people adjusted very quickly. I didn't see any really flicky hits being scored, although I noticed that flicks that hit hard and came forward - so that they almost caught in their opponent's lame - did work. What I think could be improved upon are the blocking times, as I was caught once or twice by tall fencers who counter-attacked into my final lunge and who, because of their reach, prevented my hit from registering although my attack was in time and hit them squarely. Their out of time counterattack cancelled out my attack because it took so long for my lunge to reach them! Not to mention the remisers who ruined my beautiful disengage riposte. So, in all: contact times good, blocking times baah-aad. They should think of the short fencers... ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this e-mail, or change how often it arrives, go to your E-mail Settings. http://groups.msn.com/IrishFencingForum/_emailsettings.msnw Need help?
