This class will focus on interpretations of the vier versetzen (Four Off-settings) in the Leichtenauer tradition, and using them in a dynamic environment. Students will learn to recognize and take advantage of opportunities to use the vier versetzen in order to disrupt opponents “under fire” instead of just as static “technique drills.” Improvization and tactical decision making will be used to create “flow drills” that allow students to recognize and exploit opportunities to use the vier versetzen in free fencing.
Mask, gloves and feder are required, and full sparring kit is encouraged, but not necessary.
