"My name is Brad Bogus. Now I am going to guide you through some of basic footwork of fencing. First we will start with the stance. Now all footwork is generally universal in any style; remembering we are doing the foil here. The stance works like so. You face your opponent. If this is my opponent in front of me here I am going to hold my sword, pretend this is my sword, at my opponent here. Okay. I am going to squat with my front foot facing towards my opponent directly and my back foot perpendicular to my front foot facing this way. You want to make your feet about as far apart as your shoulder width and you want to squat down a little bit with your upper body completely straight as if you could draw a line from the top of your head through your tailbone and down to the floor. This is the basic stance. You are going to hold your leg, squat like this slightly in front of you. Now to advance on the strip, you move with your front foot forward and you follow quickly with your back foot like so. That is going to be how you move forward all the way down the strip. Now you are going to want to do this kind of quickly because you definitely don’t want your opponent catching up to you. To retreat, exactly the opposite. Back foot forward, follow the front foot. Back foot, follow the front foot. So basically you are gong to want to practice this a few times until you get very comfortable moving up and down the strip as fast as you can possibly get your feet to move because that is the goal of foot work is to keep your distance. Before I show you anything with the sword, you are going to need to know your foot work. That is the most important thing in all of fencing and in all of martial arts. So you are going to want to get this down and practice it a few times too. "
