Struggling with landing your fléche? Having trouble finding the right distance to launch a quick direct attack? Wishing to capitalize on your physicality? Well, welcome to the running attack!
The running attack is a strong compromise between the explosive and surprise of the fléche and the planned execution of a lunge. It is an action you can initiate from a greater distance, providing you with more options for line changes, evasion of parries, as well as the added bonus of feeling very intimidating. This lesson will briefly examine this action with examples.
