When distance collapses and you find yourself in a crisis, you need options. ⚔️
In this lesson, Anthony looks at descending and deflecting parries as alternatives to simply absorbing the opponent’s attack. From using a 6 parry to freeze the attack and return down the centre line, to redirecting the blade and removing the leg to then finding target of opportunity, the goal is to stay protected while creating your next opening.
Parry, redirect, recover — and get back to the centre line.
