Rapier Lesson: Random Cues Drill

One of the keys to improving a fencer is making the drills feel closer to a real bout. This “random cues” drill (unsure if there’s a more official term in the greater fencing world) is a nice step in that direction. It’s like a very unstructured option drill. Like an option drill, Anežka has to respond to the cues I give her but unlike an option drill, she doesn’t have a clue what I’m going to do. In this version, I gave Anežka a simple base action to work on — get to Stretta and strike. As she attempts to hit her goal, I start throwing in random cues or actions. Everything from blade pressure to cavaziones, mixing in various footwork, sometimes attacking instead, etc. This is to force her to react in tempo with quick tactical decision making while still trying to achieve her goal. Usually I let the student get a few reps in before I start messing with things, but this was our second round of it, so I gave her just the singular rep. We can also scale this down for less skilled/experienced fencers by throwing in a singular “surprise action” into a block drill and then let the student grind away at that for a bit. It’s also a great way to get a fencer out of anticipating too much in a drill or getting into a complacent rhythm. And when implemented well, this can be a great confidence booster for a fencer. ---- DONATIONS: If you found this video useful, please consider a small donation so I can continue to produce rapier & other historical martial arts content.
