Straight Thrust

A thrust from straight into longpoint. Typically performed from:

• Pflug
• Eisenport
• Gerade Versetzung

The execution of this kind of thrust is a movement with the shoulders and legs rather than a "punching" forward with the hands. The fencer simply brings their arms forward and up while lunging forward.
