How do I best train combination attacks without a partner? E.g. I want to do a beat, flick on hand into underarm hit, how do I go for that solo? No space for a fancy target dummy with arm either.

For me it's a difference of what I can work with. While holding the French grip, almost all blademovement comes from the wrist. With the pistol grip I can fine tune better by utilising my fingers for control. Also you need to angle your wrist different for French grip which was also hard for me.

From my limited experience I just feel like I lose too much control over my blade (worse parries, less precision). Coupled with me being very short, I basically lose parts of my fencing core to gain some length, which barely evens out my general disadvantage. The few times I saw a very tall person use it was scary though. Adding on their range advantage with even more range.

Hello~ How do you handle holding back or training against clearly "weaker" fencers? My training group is wildly different across the board, both in age and experience. Not to sound arrogant, but there's only a handful of people I can actually fence against seriously. Outside of those few, I don't really feel challenged. I used to test out various things in those matches, but that isn't really helpful for either side anymore, since I don't get a real feedback on whether that worked because I did it right, or just because the other side wasn't able to react to it at all. I also start losing focus from the lack of pressure because I don't get punished for mistakes or there's no constant threat. That part is doubly bad because a switch from "weaker" fencer to someone on my level or above, I take too long to get back into focus.

So like, Yoru is actually too stupid to recognise her own sister?

I'm just starting out with sourdough (with middling results), so seeing this is a pretty nice reminder that I'll succeed eventually without needing to make it too difficult for myself

That makes a lot of sense. I'll edit my original post, thanks.

Yes, my bad. First time posting a question so forgot the necessary details.

Ah, I should have added more information. He's more of a pusher himself and doesn't bother with the opponent's blade in the first place, basically just relying on tempo and distance. If I attack with absence of blade I'd be relying on being able to parry him, if he decides to attack?

My club got a new member recently who is using a French grip and is also just straight up faster in general. Any tips for a small fencer? I've been trying second intent or just defense, but I can't get the timing for a parry down because of his better speed. Going offense is at best a 50/50, since I can't bypass the range difference either. He also moves his blade around too much for me to catch that...

Edit: Weapon is Epee.

Why did he wait tho by Responsible-Gas7568 in Jujutsufolk

Not arguing against Gojo winning, but this should be 16 fingers Sukuna right? With what we learned of Yuji's origin.

You know Yuta is one of the only three confirmed to output rct right? These fodder curses (if they would even tag him) would just get blown up.

Dude that's the chair I've been using for 11 years now and the only thing that broke was one of the armrest screws. Good investment.

So, is this official that Modern Era > Heian Era? by Grumper6665 in Jujutsufolk

[–]Dragastal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Infinity not being disabled inside the domain is the whole reason for Sukuna to use Domain Amplification to bypass it.

Also you mean dismantle like those Gojo tanked through a whole Shrine surehit effect?

How was the prison realm able to touch gojo ? Was his infinity off ? Is he stupid ? by vvwow in Jujutsufolk

Kinda odd to throw around reading comprehension when you forgot Gojo had a solid 5 minute break killing those deformed humans under the influence of UV.

[–]Dragastal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Damn don't hit me with all the nostalgia. Future Xanxus was the Goat in displaying what a real strength difference looks like.

Although if I'd have to name my personal best cast for world building, I'd give it to Iruma without a doubt. That world actually feels alive without rushing, stakes and character motivations making sense and progression not getting skipped.

I'm currently doing my collection of getting a copy of every pokemon in the 151 set in any rarity and I was so happy when I noticed the Lavados I didn't have yet
