Hey friends, just wanted to share a quick tip for anyone getting into fencing. When you're practicing your footwork, try to focus on small, controlled movements. It’s tempting to make big steps, but the real key is to stay balanced and nimble. This way, you’ll be quicker on your feet and ready to lunge or retreat at a moment’s notice. Also, remember to keep your knees slightly bent and your body relaxed. It helps with both speed and endurance during a bout. Happy fencing, and may your blades always be sharp!
