COMPOUND ATTACKS

Warm-ups:

>> Lunges
three sets of ten lunges per set
>> Tip circling
with the arm extended, circle the tip 10 times both ways
>> Footwork with lunges, 2x
advance to the other end of the room lunging at each line of the strip, then retreat back

Paired Up Drills:

>> Advance-lunges with one-two
attacker disengages then extends and advances, defender retreats and attempts to parry 6 (4 for LH vs. RH); attacker disengages and lunges

>> Advance-lunges with one-two and footwork
same as first drill, but with attacker advancing down the strip and executing one-two attacks at each line

Electric Drills:

>> Advance-lunges with one-two and footwork
same as above

INDIRECT ATTACKS

Warm-ups:

with the arm extended, circle the tip 10 times both ways
>> Footwork with lunges, 2x
advance to the other end of the room lunging at each line of the strip, then retreat back

Paired Up Drills:

>> Advance-disengage-lunges hitting the arm
attacker executes an advance-lunge, defender retreats and attempts a parry 4 (6 for LH vs. RH) and attacker disengages around the parry to hit the arm with the lunge

>> Advance-disengage-lunges hitting the thigh
same as above, but attacker disengages to a low-line, hitting the opponent's thigh

Electric Drills:

>> Advance-disengage-lunges with footwork
same as above; alternate between aiming for the opponent's arm and thigh after the disengage

COUNTER ATTACKS

Warm-ups:

>> Lunges
three sets of ten lunges per set
>> Footwork, 2x
advance to the other end of the room then retreat back
>> Footwork with lunges, parry 4, riposte, 2x
same as above, lunge at each line of the strip, then recover into parry 4 and lunge again to riposte

Paired Up Drills:

>> Advance-lunges vs. counter-attacks & parry 4
attacker executes an advance-lunge with a delayed extension, defender extends to hit then retreats and executes a parry 4 (parry 6 for LH vs. RH)

>> Advance-lunge vs. esquive/ducking
attacker executes an advance-lunge, defender retreats, extends, and executes an esquive (dodge sideways) or duck (drop down with only the feet and back hand or knee touching the floor) to avoid the attack

Electric Drills:

>> Advance-lunges vs. counter-attacks & parry 4
same as above; defender must avoid a double touch

RECOVERY REMISE

Warm-ups:

>> Lunges

same as above, lunge at each line of the strip

Paired Up Drills:

>> Lunge-recover-with-extension vs. parry-4-riposte
attacker executes a lunge, defender executes a parry 4, then attacker recovers keeping the arm extended and disengages to hit the arm as defender lunges to riposte (for LH vs. RH, parry 6 for the defender)

>> Lunge-recover-with-extension vs. counter-6-riposte
attacker executes lunge, defender executes a counter 6, then attacker recovers keeping the arm extended and disengages to hit the arm as defender lunges to riposte (for LH vs. RH, counter 4 for the defender)

Electric Drills:

>> Advance-lunge-remise vs. parry 4 or counter 6
same as above; can alternate between parry 4 and counter 6 for variety
