Redirection, Opposition & Interception Workshop

12/30/2015

 
On December 12, 2015, Maestro Martinez & Maestro Acosta-Martinez gave a workshop in Seattle on three universal concepts that apply to all combat but with a focus on how they apply to classical fencing namely: Redirection, Opposition & Interception.   A small contingent of us had the honour of attending this workshop and working with the maestri and Prévôt Longino.  While the majority of our fencers primarily train with the French Foil, we had the opportunity to not only look at how the French look at the use of these integral concepts but also how the Italians and Spanish employ them as well.  For myself, I particularly enjoyed how our fencers who focus mainly on Redirection were able to quickly apply Opposition and Interception in the drills practiced and see their amazing efficacy in situations that commonly arise in assaults.  Working with the maestri is always a wonderful way to reconnect with the origins of our tradition, receive feedback on the current state of our fencing, as well as glimpse and be inspired by the vast breadth and depth of what there still is to learn. 

Respect aux Maîtres. 
Honneur aux Armes.
