The list of actions is not exhaustive, i.e. you may add some actions that have been omitted. Also, you may change the presentation (classification) of the actions if you prefer another order. Also, you may find this list too long and too detailed. You can work from the electronic version of the document, and simplify it. Once you've got a map of your repertoire, your objective should be to choose some new actions and to include them in your repertoire. Do not panic if you are not using all the actions in the list. This is normal. Some of these actions are seldom used anyway. Some also may be impossible to use in given situations (i.e. against certain opponents). Also, for each action, your goal should be to improve the ratings in each of the 3 following categories, which are obviously all related to each other. Your ultimate goal should be to have a balanced repertoire and to use actions from all categories. A complementary tool will be helping you to choose which actions fit to different situations, i.e. which actions are solutions to various problems you may encounter on the piste. Rate each action, on a scale of 1 to 10, as follows: Knowledge (K1 to K10) 1 = I don't know this action, I never use this action 2-3 = I've done this action at the lesson but never used it, even in practice 4-5 = I use this action sometimes in practice, but never in competition 6-7 = I use this action fairly often in practice, and sometimes in competition. I don't always think of it as a solution. 8-9 = I use this action often in practice and in competition. I often think of it as a good solution. 10 = This is one of my preferred actions, I use it all the time in competition Quality of execution (Q1 to Q10) 1 = I don't know how to execute this action. 2-3 = I can execute this action slowly at the lesson with fairly good results, but not in training bouts. 4-5 = I can execute this action well at the lesson, I am starting to use it with some success in bouts. 6-7 = I can execute this action well at the lesson with variations, I use it regularly with some success in bouts. 8-9 = I execute this action often in practice and in competition, in fitting situations. 10 = This is one of my go-to actions, I execute it very well. Confidence (C1 to C10) 1 = I have no confidence at all in this action. (Don't know) 2-3 = Poor confidence in the action. 4-5 = Little confidence in it 6-7 = Confidence in it growing, but I don't necessarily think to use it in competition situations. 8-9 = I often think of it as a good solution, I have good confidence in it. 10 = This is one of my go-to actions, I am very confident in it. 1. Offence a) Attacks without the blade a1. Simple attacks - direct - hand, forearm - body, upper arm - leg, knee - foot a2. Simple attacks - indirect - disengage - coup - counter-disengage a3.

Balayages (i.e. 4-8, 6-7, 7-6, 8-4) Other tactical factors related to parries: Distance: In place After one retreat After several retreats Stepping forward Timing Early Late Execution Beat parry (tac au tac) Opposition parry (holding) Kind: Lateral Circular Semi-circular Conception: Reflex Pre-planned (second intention) Personal comments related to parries: 3) Ripostes 1. Direct (tac au tac) 2. Keeping the blade - opposition - other prise de fer (bind, crois) 3. Indirect - low - disengage (around opponent's blade) - coup - counter-disengage 4. Compound - one-two - other Other tactical factors related to ripostes: Footwork: In place With step With lunge Other (step-lunge, flche., etc) Timing: Immediate Delayed ( temps perdu) Personal comments related to ripostes: 4) Counter-ripostes Personal comments related to counter-ripostes: C) Counter-offence and counter-time 1) Counter-attacks, Stop-hits Taking a fencing time - direct - with angulation (cav) - with whip - compound (feinta in tempo) - with the blade (opposition, interception) - followed by step back - in place - moving forward (step or lunge) (see #4) - followed by parry 2) Counter-time - Tac au tac - With prise de fer - various footwork 3) Esquives (ducking) - Petit-bonhomme (passata di sotto) - Side-step (in quartata) - deplacing the target (hand, arm or foot movement) - Other 3) Breaking the distance Without the blade Step-in with opposition (closing the final line of the attack) Step-in with interception (intercepting the blade on its way to the target) 4) Attack into the attack Without the blade With beat With opposition D) Other dimensions of the fencing repertoire 1) Footwork Am I using a diversity of footwork, or always the same? 2) Tactical conception of the actions Reflex Pre-planned 3) Emplacement on the piste Middle Defensive end (in 2 meter) Offensive end (opponent in 2 meter) Defensive extremity (one foot behind rear line) Offensive extremity (opponent one foot behind rear line) 4) Targets Am I using a diversity of targets, and use them in my solutions? 5) Timing, rhythm and speed Am I varying the timing, rhythm and speed of my actions? 6) Choice of actions Am I choosing my actions based on relevant factors? Which ones? Am I alternating categories of actions when needed? Am I using the tactical routine between each hit? 7) Other factors 67E fers0Au}>?JKvw>Jt{ FJ]^a輤h h[*mH sH h h[*mH sH h h[*CJ mH sH h h[*mH sH h h[?JK^_fg}^gd[JQrst?G[\^gd[*mH sH h h[*CJ mH sH h h[?JK^_fg}~"#IJKvw&/=>JQrst?G[\hrz{ GHIJ^_`a9ef~%&Jd Z[\vwBCJVWst{#$/0qrS0ـ0О0p0p0ـ0О000ـ0О0ـ0О0О0О0О0p0p0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0p0О0ـ0О0О0p0p0p0ـ0p0ـ0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0ـ0О0p0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0ـ0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0p0p@0О0ـ0ـ0ـ0ـ0ـ0p0ـ0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0ـ0ـ0ـ0 0ـ0 0 0ـ00ـ0ـ0ـ0ـ0000ـ0ـ0ـ0ـ00ـ00ـ00ـ0ـ0ـ0О0О0О0О0О0О0π0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0000ـ0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О00ـ00ـ00ـ00ـ000000ـ00ـ0ـ0p0ـ0ـ0ـ@0ـ@0О0ـ0ـ0000ـ@0О@0О@0О0ـ00ـ00ـ0ـ0О@0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0О0000ـ00ـ00ـ00ـ00ـ0О0ـ@000О0О000ـ0p00ـ0p0ـ0ـ0ـ0ـ00ـ0ـ00ـ0ـ0ـ0 00ـ00ـ00ـ000π00ـ0p00ـ00ـ0p0p00ـ00ـ0 00ـ0 0ـ0О00О0О0О0О0О00ـ00ـ0О0π0О0О0О0О0О0ـ0ـ0ـ0ـ0ـ0ـ0ـ0ـ 0π 0p0ـ0ـ0p 0π 0О 0О 0О 0p0p0О0О0О0О0ـ0ـ0ـ0ـ0ـ0О0О0О0О0О0О0О$dd-}\J B"$$ !"$   ( . 1 6 C N GLgl}Xapv_eglw|$-AF (..68?@BZbfomr Paul ApSimonM?@BCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWYZ[\]^_bRoot Entry F0>:-d1Table$W9WordDocument0FSummaryInformation(A-DocumentSummaryInformation8XCompObjj  FMicrosoft Word Document MSWordDocWord.Document.89q
