-====== LongEdge Fencing Class/Training Notes ======
-Here are the training notes and other documents used to support the LongEdge Fencing training program. Notes for workshops will appear here as well. All represent links to the PDF of the document. This section will grow as we develop more documents to codify what we already do. Check back regularly. Bookmark this page.
-===== Seventeenth Century =====
-==== Foundations ====
-These are the basic movement blocks which make up the LongEdge Fencing interpretation of our source texts. The actions and movement mean very little on their own but provide the physical vocabulary and terminology reuqired for further learning.

-==== Situations ====
-These documents describe a particular situation or set of circumstances found during a fencing bout and the preferred method of handling it according to the LongEdge Fencing interpretation of our source texts. Fencing techniques are combined in this section to solve a particular fencing problem and deal with an opponent.

-==== Grab Bag ====
-These are extended movement patterns and techniques from which larger motions can be developed and can be used in fencing situations. Techniques represent single fencing actions useful in a wide range of circumstances. Again, they mean nothing by themselves as they are divorced from any context.

-==== Learning Games ====
-This list will grow over time. These are games which highlight decision making and other tactical aspects of fencing.
-  * [[lef_poulet_poinarde|Le Poulet Poignardé (Stabby Chicken)]]
-=== Le Poulet Poignardé (Stabby Chicken) ===
-//Apologies to Sean Franklin and his [[https://www.gd4h.org/hga/gameInfo.php?g=51|Finnish Chicken]] game.//
-**Rules**: Both fencers start out of measure and approach each other along the line of direction. When either figures that one or other of them can make the touch, they can pick one of the two actions below. After the exchange, the fencers reset.
-  * A direct or straight thrust in //tierce// or //quarte//,
-  * A simple parry against this thrust in either //tierce// or //quarte//.
-Success is defined for the attacking fencer by making a touch and for the parrying fencer as avoiding the touch. If both fencers attack, the fencer who was moving forward to touch succeeds as the stationary fencer is deemed to be only reacting rather than initiating an attack. Note that this is **not** sparring; it's a game with rules that relfect a teachable.
-**Skills Tested**: Distance/measure, simple attacks, simple defences. Extensions test the recovery after making an attack.
-**Variations/Extensions**: These rule changes mix things up to keep it interesting and increase the complexity of the game problem. These rule changes may be added individually or in sets.
-  * **No retreat**: Designate one fencer as the attacker and one as the defender. The defender cannot step backwards, whether by a pass or a withdrawing step. Lateral movement is allowed.
-  * **Remise**: If the attacker's thrust is parried, they may attempt an immediate second attack.
-  * **Riposte**: On a successful parry -- and only on a successful parry -- the defending fencer may strike a riposte. This may be a cutting strike to the attacker's arm (if playing with beginners and/or low gear) or a thrust to any opening (better for the more experienced and the geared up). Success here is defined for the defender if the riposte lands and for the attacker if the riposte is parried in turn.
-**Questions**: In the basic game and in all variations, these questions can help focus the minds of the players:
-  * Which fencer has the advantage: attacker or defender?
-  * How can this fencer's advantage be reduced or nullified?
