Fencing Tactics

Fencing tactics involve strategic moves and strategies used to outsmart an opponent during a match. These include observing your opponent’s habits, timing your attacks, and choosing the right moments to strike or defend. Tactics like feints (pretending to attack), parries (defensive blocks), and counterattacks are used to create openings and gain points. Good fencing also involves controlling distance—staying close enough to attack but far enough to defend. Overall, it’s a game of timing, precision, and adaptation, combining mental agility with physical skill to outthink and outmaneuver your opponent.
