Fencing Tutorial:  Rock, Paper, and Scissors 
In this session we cover the basic trio of fencing actions: simple attack [Rock], parry-riposte [paper], and compound-attack [scissors], showing how each one can beat the other, much like the Rock, Paper, Scissors (RPS) playground game. 

In fencing, unlike traditional RPS, the player who initialtes the action generally has the advantage. If a person were to do Rock (lunge) from Striking Distance (as taught in our last video), they should be able to beat someone who REACTS with Paper (parry). However assuming both fencers have entered striking distance at the same time, then simply the correct action will win. 

One should also note that of these three, we argue that  Rock (lunge) is the most important because if the opponent doesn't fear your lunge, they may never use paper (parry), which means you'll also never get to use scissors. Thus rock helps set up everything else. 

That being said, there is nothing wrong with being a defensive fencer, and focussing mostly on parries and counter-attacks, or using primarily compound acitons. This video simply illustrates how the simple hit sets up the rest of one's actions. We also think that to fence and win any given tournament, a fencer needs at least one good move from each catagory.
