How to Advance When Fencing

The "advance" is a step forward, taken with both feet, to close the distance between oneself and the opponent. The advance is also known as "gaining ground."




Step1
Raise the leading foot slightly, toe first, and carry it forward along the line of direction no more than one shoe length.


Step2
Set the leading foot down, heel first.


Step3
Lift the rear foot and quickly bring it forward the same distance as the leading foot.


Step4
Set the rear foot down, ball of the foot first.
