Just came back from fencing and had a productive night. Learned about beat attacks, reviewed critical distance, and had a semi-private lesson. One of the things that I learned today that I need to keep in mind is to extend my arm before moving my body forward. This allows for more hits. I noticed a difference right away when I tried attacking with this simple rule. I also learned that when an opponent does not intend to proceed with an attack but simply makes a movement (no arm extension) with his/her body, that you should just go for an attack. When attacking, timing is also important. One should start off a bit slower with the attack and then speed up near the end.
Remember, arm before body, and varying speed.
