Advice for Y12 fencer
Hi everyone, I’m hoping to get some advice from parents or fencers who have been through this phase.
My son is Y12 Foil and has been fencing for about 2.5 years. He currently trains quite a bit: 3 private lessons and 3 group classes per week.
The problem is that there is a massive disconnect between his lessons and his actual bouts (both at the club and in tournaments). In his private lessons, he learns great skills and actions. But the second he hooks up to the strip for a bout, all of that goes out the window.
