INDIRECT PARRIES

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, counter 6, ripostes, 2x
same as above, lunge at each line of the strip, then recover into counter 6 and lunge again to riposte

Paired Up Drills:

>> Advance-lunges vs. retreat-counter-parry-6
attacker executes an advance-lunge, defender retreats and executes a counter parry 6 with riposte (counter 4 for LH vs. RH)

>> Disengage-advance-lunges vs. retreat-counter-4
attacker disengages then executes an advance-lunge, defender retreats and executes a counter parry 4 with riposte (counter 6 for LH vs. RH)

Electric Drills:

>> Advance-lunges vs. retreat-counter-parry-6
same as above

FLECHE ATTACKS

Warm-ups:

>> Lunges
three sets of ten lunges per set
>> Footwork, 2x

>> Fleches, 2x
fleche repeatedly, turning around when out of room

Paired Up Drills:

>> Advance-fleche
attacker advances then executes a fleche while defender retreats

>> Retreat-fleche
attacker retreats, defender advances, then attacker executes a fleche

Electric Drills:

>> Fleche attacks
alternate between advance-fleche and retreat-fleche
