After several weeks of working on Sprechfenster before moving onto Parry/Reposte we have reached the final boss... Abzug!

Being able to understand and control the Kreig is one thing, but scoring a point and successfully leaving, avoiding an afterblow or a chasing opponent is a whole other thing! Last class we worked on this, starting off in a bind and hitting our opponent while defending ourselves before retreating to a safe distance and covering our retreat!

We're continuing through Fiores Dagger vs Unarmed too, moving onto the Fendente and its counters, which allowed us to get nice and close with some grapples and wrestling!

After covering how and when to cut with our Rapiers, we naturally moved onto defending them, baiting our opponent into throwing a Stramazonne and then shooting our point forward, stopping the cut using timing and structure!
