When the opponent's strike passes outside of our body, is the next great moment to attack them according to historical fencing master Giovanni dall'Agocchie. I'd also encourage you in this video to see any motion that doesn't threaten you as a possible opportunity. Have a look!

In historical fencing or HEMA (for Historical European Martial Arts) we reconstruct sword fighting systems from historical sources. Our club focuses on Italian medieval and renaissance sources, fencing with the Spadone (Two-Handed Sword), Spear, Sidesword (One-Handed Sword) together with Shield, Cape, Dagger, you name it!
