Training of a Champion: Epee Fencing




Training of a Champion: Epee Fencing

The technique and tactics of a sports epee bout was formed under the influence of three main rules of conducting such a bout. The first is the ability of executing hits to all parts of the body and, primarily, to the torso, weapon arm, mask and the leading leg. While the second condition of the bout, even more important, is the extremely short pre-emptive time (0.04-0.05 secs) set on the scoring equipment for registering only the earliest executed hits during mutual attempts. The successful action is most frequently the one in which the epee point is moved closer to the opponent’s valid target by 20-30 cm. The third rule determines the awarding of mutual hits to both fencers.

The system of fencing training presented in this instructional coaching course has been developed over many years. It has grown out of the operational experience of the authors as trainers, as well as their pedagogical experiements and the analyis of their research. This fencing course, "Training of a Champion: Epee Fencing" is taught by David Tyshler - A. Shuvalov - Individual World Champion, Prize winner at Olympic Games.
