I was very happy with my fencing. Working on an active defence gave me a nice lead and allowed me to develop attacks with confidence.

Lesson

I'm focusing on two things.

1. very active defence. This is allowing me to get closer to set up action
2. Recycling the march. Not advancing for too long, 4-5 steps, but resetting and taking over

I lost a few points last night because my step lunge off the line wasn't aggressive enough. Next session I'm going to focus on a very aggressive but focused start.

Really not happy with fencing. I didn't manage to impose myself at all in the first and last bout. In the first bout my opponent was totally comfortable coming forward. He knew that I would CA, so he could finish his attack. My attack was no threat. I used the line in the latter part of the bout, which helped me gain initiative but I really need to disrupt his attack more and have more confidence in my actions

Second bout I controlled the bout a little better but made a lot of simple attacks out of distance leaving me open to a simple riposte. I need to work more on the setup, but seemed short of idea.

Third bout I had no idea. My attacks were short and I couldn't disrupt his advances. I need to work harder at getting in closer and being more of a threat. I most score on AIP, and CA and the occasional unexpected fast attack. At the moment I'm relying too much on the slow march and the lazy first intention CA.
