Point in Line
Definition; Priority gained (prior to opponent) by extending point and Arm first and maintaining a horizontal plane directly at opponent.
Intent: Take priority prior to opponent, catching opponent into performing a counter attack, often performed whilst stationery, or during one step back.
Practice: Fast controlled movement of the point and blade ending in a stationery blade, with a partner, practice the Point in Line before the lunge of the other fencer begins
Tip: A controlled hand and still point make the action more effective and observable to the referee. A mirror is an effective tool to keep the blade steady and observe the referees sight of the action (side view).
