A fencer motionless in a balanced on guard place, covered in a line, and with a transparent mind and a plan for the bout is in a stable condition. All directions and speeds of movement are possible. Attack and protection are equally available. The fencer might select to take the initiative or to attend and react to an opponent's action. However, fencing is a sport of movement, of fixed change, of lively attack and protection, and of psychological warfare between the fencers. All of this creates instability which may be used successfully if we perceive its elements.

As an initial proposition for thought, I suggest that instability creates the potential for having to cease or correct a situation or saber motion earlier than you may effectively take an action that can end in a profitable outcome. Alternatively, managed instability is clearly needed for achievement in attacks. The following key areas might create instability on the strip:

Motion. When both fencers are transferring on the similar velocity in the same distance, the situation is basically stable. Variations from this in velocity, distance, the mechanics of motion, and particularly timing all create instability in favor of one or other of the fencers. Attacking when the opponent has one foot up in movement closing the distance (the opponent's adverse instability) or from the front foot in your marching step when an opening appears (your optimistic instability) are examples.

Body position. Changes in body position impact balance, create openings where there were none before, and introduce inefficiencies of movement. Out of balance with an unrealized opening and unable to move quickly to cope with the opponent's attack, counterattack, or riposte is a highly vulnerable state.

Movement of the blade. The stable blade can transfer as fast as the fencer's response time, motion time, and physical conditioning permit. The blade in movement needs to be stopped after which redirected at a value in time and in disruption of the fencer's ongoing tactical actions.

The plan. It seems obvious that a fencer should enter the bout with a plan, after which constantly modify and refine that plan based mostly on the performance of each the fencer and the opponent. Persevering with to observe a plan that not addresses the circumstances of the bout creates instability in that the fencer's tactical actions do not coincide with the altering situation.

The fencer's psychological state. Frustration, detrimental thoughts and self-discuss, specializing in negative exterior factors, and even excessive excitation all erode the optimistic mental state required for high performance. They will drive poor decision-making and hesitant performance, and have the tendency to be more and more self-reinforcing in a negative means, leading to increasingly bad outcomes.

As a fencer your purpose could also be to introduce as much instability as attainable in the opponent's game. Equally your objective could also be to reduce instability in your own. Not all instability is bad - successful assaults always are unstable. Not all stability is nice - a static fencer who doesn't transfer when below assault is merely a target. The secret's to find the appropriate balance, use stability when to your advantage (for instance, in not reacting to obvious feints), and instability when it is appropriate.
