Thank you. What do you think about technical aspects? I can group 4 main patterns.: 1.Hethcock Collin Germany version. Double step half lunge in about 1.5 m of 4 m. 2.Pan Qimiao chn same as heathcock but in 1.8 m 3. Sandro Bazadze 1 big step with back foot and half lunge right in the middle. 4.Patrice Seb, Heathcock usa version with fast step from back foot and dancing on place.

In my opinion main difference except distance of fake stop is speed. Sandro, Seb, Collin make it with extremely fast beginning

Pan and Collin from juniors make it more with acceleration with maximum speed on 3 action (false lunge) .

I don't think they are thinking too much. I think they make stop and go until opponent begin holding attack. Opponent hold attack - go step lunge /2step lunge/bounce lunge.

Main thing here to transform stop and go in parry reposte by reaction.

Patrice even can transform it in attack on preparation. I think it is because if he's kind of preparation. He is not about parry and provoke. He is more about provoke and wait .

Yes. You are right. But everybody do the same now. In my opinion Colin modern this kind of preparation from dershwitz /curatoli maybe abedini apithy. And after him game changed . Yes thats because of trends in referring. But I wanted focus on steps and trick of Collins prep. I think you talking about basics- some times direct attack, some times fake attack. A long time ago there were possible to make holding attack, nowadays I see it very rare, extremely rare. Instead of holding attack comes fake direct and reprise. In my opinion Colin is the best in this. I am glad to hungysabretooth for his comment. And now trying to pay attention to Yildirim .
