Here’s a few other ideas for target practice.

Using a ladder is a good “back” for the dummy and allows manoeuvrability, indoors a coatrack is handy too.

Can use different ideas and works for alternate target practice too ie Epee.

Having had a go at making a dummy, heres a few ideas for creating your own target setup at home.

Foil Stand for adjusting weapon height and position etc.

Jacket Stand, with a coathanger for the jackets and stuffed with pillows for bulking up

Finished Target, with Bungy Cord wrapped around post for stability.

Lockdown in London has been challenging. However, a mark of an athlete is their ability to adapt and overcome obstacles placed in from of them. Thankfully the weather has been kind to me and I’ve managed to find a way to keep my technical training on point. Meet my new training partner – aka ‘Shadow’, for the next few weeks ? Luckily he doesn’t fight back! ? If you want to build your own, you’ll need a few pillows, two towels, an old laundry stand, and a few bungees. The fencing kit part can be found @leonpaullondon ? @britishfencing does this look like a new training tool that could be used for the Athlete Development Programme? ?? #quarantinetraining #lockdown #technicaltraining #adaptandovercome #challengeyourself #balconyantics #sunshine #london #fencing #neighborhoodfencer #stayhome #staysafe #aspirationfund #fencinginspires #nationallottery @uk_sport
