No Sword? No Room? No Problem!

Looking to improve your rapier game but don’t have a sword or live in a tiny city apartment without any room? Have no fear. You can work on your forms, attack and sequences with this simple drill. All you need to do is bounce a tennis ball in front of you and then catch it in the air while using various attacks and footwork. The benefits of this drill: 1) It promotes explosive motion. Slow motion drilling is great, but fencing is also a dynamic and explosive sport. If you try doing this drill slowly, you’re going to have difficulty catching the ball as it descends. 2) It promotes good form. If you try to grab the ball out of order (see: moving feet before arm/hand), you’re going to have a tough time catching the ball. 3) It’s interactive, so you mind needs to concentrate on a moving target while performing attacks in good sequence. 4) Minimal space and equipment required.
