About the event
In this two-hour workshop, we’ll explore how to use offensive provocations to draw predictable reactions that we then capitalize on. Through drills, partner exercises, and tactical breakdowns, we’ll study how to strike the sword hand, execute feints with intention, and create openings that invite your opponent into your trap.
We’ll cover:
The theory behind provocations and predictability
Attacking the sword hand (where it is and where it will be)
Feints in Gioco Stretto and Gioco Largo
Attacks designed to miss—why and how to use them
