Epee Fencing Attacks : Finding Vulnerabilities When Epee Fencing

Hitting the foot is not done when the opponent forgets to withdraw his foot. Otherwise there would be no hits on the foot on a higher fencing level. In most cases, you make a feint attack towards the opponents arm or shoulder and when he attempts to parry, you hit the foot.

I'd recommend aiming at a higher target, the foot is not practical. It leaves the hand, arm, and face open to a counter attack. The shoulder and elbow are the best targets to attack. The hand is also a prime target, but only if it's exposed.

Thanks for the video. I'm a beginning foil fencer and I'm curious about epee fencing.

I've found her openings many times, and I don't even fence!

nice teachings =D
