The direction of combat in the Combination of Parry and Response by Quarte Direct in Foil

Abstract

This article aims at designing efficient training due to the necessity to train fencers on the main actions to achieve an excellent defense and attack, from the study on the influence of the specialized perception when combining parry and riposte by quarte direct, within the direction of combat of foil fencers. Hence, the following main concepts are explained: the sense of distance, sense of time, and sense of weapon. All of them, combined with the technical-tactical level of the fencer from the technical term of the direction of combat, are characteristics of high performance. Combining parry-riposte is an action to prevent the opponent from touching and permit the defender to touch him. It is a maneuver that allows a high percentage of touches, hence its importance. Theoretical methods like the analysis-synthesis and induction-deduction were applied. Likewise the empirical one, document´s review.
