JASON SHERIDAN: On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Jason Sheridan from the Sheridan
Fencing Academy here in New York City, and today, we're going to demonstrate some intermediate
sabre fencing. For attacks to head, we use parry five. Parry five looks like so. Notice
how the guard is up around my eye level, rather around my eye level. The tip is a little bit
higher. My arm is relaxed and not to the side here but forward. This is a very comfortable
and easy position to take. Watch as the girls demonstrate. One will attack to the other's
head, while the other parries five. Again, there's no tension. She's not in a panic to
make the movement. She does it very effortlessly like it's the easiest movement in the world.
Watch again, very nice. And let's try it from a different angle. The attack should be coming
this way. The parry should be facing the camera. Just by me, Rachel, by me. Go ahead. And from
here, she's protected and able to make her offense.
