Drill Library
A starter library of six training drills organised by theme. Share with club coaches, parents and self-directed athletes. Video demos are being added through 2026.
Advance-retreat ladder
On the coach's call, advance 3 / retreat 2 on cue. Build to random sequences. Goal: crisp en-garde, consistent distance.
Thumb-track on wall tape
Wall-lunge onto coloured tape targets with weapon-arm extension. 3 sets of 20 hits, alternating targets.
Shadow mirror
One partner leads footwork, the other mirrors at exact lunge distance. Add tempo changes every 30 seconds.
Blind parry 6 to riposte
Coach cues attack to outside line; student parries sixte and ripostes target. Switch to quarte halfway.
3-touch decision games
Mini-bouts with scored tactical objective (e.g., only counter-attacks count). Teaches decision-making under pressure.
Lunge-recover Tabata
8 × (20 s max lunge-recover / 10 s rest). Measure reps per block; track personal bests weekly.
