Revision as of 01:21, 8 June 2017

By the time the student is ready for the level of Fechter they should have already demonstrated good form when performing techniques in a slower and more controlled manner. For Fechter 1, however, they should be performing techniques with more intent without sacrificing control.

For the Fechter I grading students should demonstrate the techniques in protective equipment (at least using gloves and a mask), first performing the technique slowly, then at high speed.

Three Types of Strike

Footwork

Guards/Postures

Principal Guards

Secondary Guards

Low Side Guards
High Side Guards
Centreline Guards
Hanging Guards

Attacks

Principal Cuts

Cuts should be performed with speed and intent.

Secondary Cuts

Secondary cuts should be performed at higher (not full) speed, while maintaining form and balance. They need not be as fast or agressive as the principal cuts.

Crooked cut variations:
False edge cuts which parry:
Thwart cut variations:
Plunging cut variations:
Cuts with winding:
Changing strike variations:

On-Point Thrusts

Meisterhauw

Demonstrate the master cuts using their advanced movements and proper mechanics.

Cutting to the Openings

Cutting with Sharps

NOTE: This requirement is subject to insurance and legal obligations.

  • Attend at least 1 cutting session with sharps
  • Demonstrate the ability to execute the principle cuts with good edge alignment

Handworks

Handworks should be carried out with intent, though need not be at full speed.

Students should be able to demonstrate the two types of parrying:

  • Parrying and striking in a single movement (eg. Zwerch)
  • Parrying and striking as separate movements (eg. Hanging parry set)

Students should be able to dynamically describe/demonstrate the following handworks:


Parrying Sets

Verfuhren (deceiving)


Meyer's Devices/Plays

Fencing Free-play

The students shall demonstrate their ability to fence using the principles from Meyer's system in the following conditions:

  • Fight a 2 minute bout at slow speed showing control and flow
  • Fight a 2 minute bout at high speed using fechtschule rules
  • Fight a 2 minute bout at high speed using tournament rules
  • Referee a 2 minute bout between peers

Wrestling & Dagger

All techniques should show control and cooperation between participants - injuries are not what we're looking for.

Application

Dagger Guards

Applications

Polearms (Optional?)

Guards

  • Oberhut (High/over guard - including thrusting variation)
  • Mittelhut (Middle guard/straight parrying, also field guard variation)
  • Unterhut (Low/under guard)
  • Steurhut (Rudder guard - both variations)

Staff Strikes

Parrying Sets
