How to Fake (Feint) with a Messer

A short excerpt from our Wednesday Langes Messer class where I show students how to throw convincing feints during compound attacks. The concept of “faking“ relies on us as fencers thinking ahead. We can “program“ our opponents by trying to get them to commit to certain actions while we go the other way a split second later. The higher skilled the fighter is, the more steps ahead you should be. Try thinking 3 or more steps ahead and let us know if it improves your sparring.
