SUMMARY:Foil Coaching Workshop - 28 Dec 24
DESCRIPTION:Foil Coaching Workshop – Adam Blight \n  \nThe workshop will demonstrate and explore individual lesson exercises in foil with a strong consideration of movement and it’s tactical implications. This will be a ‘sword in hand’ workshop open to BAF and non BAF coaches and also capable fencers who wish to receive lessons as part of the coaching practice. \n \nRecurrent themes in the different topics will be – \n\nDeveloping a good intuitions for – when to go\, when not to go.\nPerforming actions with – a good prospect of success.\nPerforming actions in the context of tactically meaningful movement scenarios.\n\nThe day will work through the following topics – \nEffective Simple Attacks – Following the mantra that – simple attacks are not simple\, this practice will demonstrate a movement based approach to coaching simple attacks within individual lessons in a way which aims to ensure a fencer can develop – a good intuition for when to go and when not to go and perform simple attacks which have – a good prospect of success. \nMovement Based Exercises – A series of predominantly choice reaction exercises where movement is a dominant factor and forms the basis for choice and decisions.  The aim is that a fencer makes tactically appropriate decisions based on what is happening with the movement on the piste. \nPressing Actions – The use of pressing actions is a key component of today’s foil fencing. Exploring this topic will look at developing the capability for a fencer to effectively use and fence against pressing actions and for the coach to deliver lessons that enable this.  In this topic the many different tactical and priority considerations are explored\, and an approach on how to develop and deliver comprehensive pressing action based lessons and exercises is presented and practiced. \nThe workshop will be led by Adam Blight who has been a professional coach for over 30 years\, produced many National Champions\, World Championship medallists (Cadet and Veteran)\, coached Internationally for Britain\, Taiwan and the Republic of Ireland and is perhaps most noted as coach to the Olympic fencer Husayn Rosowsky.
