PARTICIPANT: Whose Turn Is It Anyway? Taking, Keeping, and Seizing " Vor" in Historical Fencing
Do your fencing matches feel chaotic? Do you ever feel frustrated that your best moves seem predictable? Have you had trouble "reading" an opponent to know whether you should attack, defend, or invite? Then this seminar is for you. Join nationally recognized, multi-medal-winning fencers Dan Evans and Connor Zaeske as they explore the German Kunst des Fechtens principle of "Vor." In their 3-hour seminar, they will explore what it means to (not) have "the Vor", when fencers should initiate or follow their opponents' motion, why and how a fencer's "turn" ends before they get hit, and how to "take your turn back" once it has been lost.
