What are the subtle fencing postures?

Fencing is a double competition. In the competition, one side attacks the opponent with the tip of the sword, so that the tip of the sword can accurately hit the effective part, which has the nature of puncture. Finally, the party that clicks more effectively wins. According to the rules, the round robin is played five times in three minutes and the knockout is played fifteen times in nine minutes. Hit your opponent effectively first, or hit your opponent a few more times when the time is up. In the team competition, the team that hits the opponent 45 times first wins. Fencing has three weapons: epee, foil and sabre. The effective hit points and competition rules of the three weapons are also different, so each weapon has its own competition characteristics. Comparatively speaking, foil is more athletic, sabre is the fastest, and epee needs more skill and accuracy.

First, hold the sword. At present, athletes in various countries mainly use the sword grip, but a few epee athletes also use the straight handle sword. The handle is divided into left and right sides, and the shape of the grip is also changed, but the grip method is basically the same. Holding the sword mainly depends on the thumb and forefinger to control the tip of the sword. The thumb and forefinger are slightly bent to hold each other, and the middle finger, ring finger and little finger press the handle so that the handle is pressed against the center line of the palm root. Sabre pressed against the root of little finger. There should be a certain gap between the palm of your hand and the hilt, and the wrist should maintain a certain tension, which is conducive to controlling the action of the sword. Using a sword with a straight handle is beneficial to correctly understand wrist movements, and it is better for beginners to use a sword with a straight handle. Fencers' attention posture is the same as the general attention posture, except that their hands hang down naturally and their right hands hold the sword at the root of the sword in front of the armguard. Fencing competition is polite. You should salute each other before class. Fencing salute generally consists of three actions: turning around, standing with feet at right angles, heel on the ground, arms straight, and making an angle of about 45 with the ground; Bend your arms, tip up, and put your hand guard close to your lips; Reach out and point the sword at the saluter.

Second, the actual combat posture. Actual combat posture is the preparation posture for all fencing behaviors. The role of actual combat posture: easy to move, easy to attack and easy to defend, making it difficult for opponents to hit themselves. Key points of actual combat posture: the athlete stands sideways, facing the front of the sword, with the front toes forward, the back foot perpendicular to the extension line of the forefoot heel, and the distance between the two feet is shoulder width. The legs are slightly crouched, the trunk is natural, the chest is slightly bent, the big arm that does not hold the sword is parallel to the ground, the small arm is vertical upward, and the wrist and fingers are naturally relaxed.
