This video covers the basic stance, its alignment and placement, how to stay balanced as a fencer, plus an alternative stance.

Body posturing and feet positioning define the way you move, how stable you stand, and what forces you are able to withstand from different directions. Furthermore, the parts of your body which are presented as targets to your opponent depend on your stance.

Be conscious of your posture and position, and do not forget to check and to optimize it regularly, when doing any fencing exercise.
