Go for the Air

In a split second sometimes the bigger opponent has the reach advantage. Going for vertical air will give you enough time to allow him to get close enough for a perfect parry reposes score in a split second decision.

In the story The Touch.

    Apparently "Vans" can give you as much air as Jordans. Beautiful shot, Glenn. You are indeed the King of Timing.

    These are great captures....I was in Verdun France and was mystified looking through a window of a studio while people were fencing....I got caught and they asked me to come inside and watch...what an amazing thing it was...and kind of them too.
