The "Shark" gets changed, while the defender must continue fighting for their life for full 3 minutes straight. Each fencer is the defender in turn, and then becomes one of the sharks for the next defender's round in the tank.
This is an exercise reserved only for the advanced group due to the tremendous physical drain and the skill required to fence safely despite it.
Do you think you have what it takes to take on these sharks? Apply for the advanced group and show them what you are made of!

KÀymme lÀpi mitÀ harrastaminen on, miten siihen pÀÀsee mukaan, mitÀ se kustantaa ja kuinka EHMS Ry tukee uusia harrastajia. Aloittaminen ei ole niin kallista kuin ÀkkiÀ voisi ajatella. Jos harrastus kiinnostaa, mutta kunto mietityttÀÀ, niin pidempi kahdeksan viikon peruskurssi, jossa treenejÀ on kahdesti viikossa on loistava tapa aloittaa ja kunto kehittyy peruskurssin aikana.

Our judges expect high quality fencing; a scoring strike must have sufficient arc, intent, and blade alignment; a scoring thrust must show sufficient movement and connect properly with the target (i.e. no light touches, no glancing thrusts); a scoring slice sufficient travel, and ideally show the opponent being moved by the sword.
Here, we illustrate what low quality actions may look like. ---------- Credits: Red fencer: Nikos Kyriakopoulos Blue fencer: Idamaria Lehtinen Additional feedback & planning: Miro Lahtela Camera & Editing: Esa RÀisÀnen Music: pixabay.com/music/beats-drop-it-124014Ring Out - HLO23EHMS Ry2023-01-26 | Helsinki Longsword Open 2023 Judging - Ring Out
