block the attacks of your opponent until u see an opening and then strike but be carful the opponent might strike at u so hit him/her fast smile thats my technique hope that helps u biggrin
Depends on what type of fencing u want do. u can do saber, foil, and epee. I personally think epee's the best but i did foil. i fenced until i had a nervous breakdown on the way to class my coach was so mean and terrible.
