Description

When we sheltered in place we sorted through our supply of canvas and lambskin leather and designed a limited run of colored practice wall targets for you to train at home. Only available while supplies last!

Add more variation to your home practice by adding a Fencing Practice Ball!

Classical Fencing Practice Target

All classical fencers need practice to stay in top form. Regular target practice maintains basic actions giving time for more complicated techniques with the master. Every 19th century salle had wall-mounted targets which many retailers sold for personal use. Our hand-made foil fencing practice target features a canvas and leather front padded by a dozen layers of cotton. The target’s back is covered with felt to protect any surface it hangs on. The cotton batting provides superior loft and softens vibrations into the body. Our targets come with adjustable hanging hardware which install with only a hammer. Read more about how to use our foil practice targets to increase your accuracy and control below.

Fencing Practice Target & Ball

We incorporated a hook in the baseplate of the Practice Ball to hang our cushioned wall target. The two together give you much more flexibility in your home practice. Click here!

Suggested Target Exercises

Center Accuracy: Measure the distance to the target and practice hitting the exact center of the target. Practice fully extending the arm before lunging and recovering to a proper guard. Carefully practice the position of your hands, shoulders, and knees.

Quadrant Accuracy: Practice hitting the center of each diagonal target rail with the corresponding hand position. These quadrants represent the four quarters the body divides into.

Compound Attacks: Use the diagonal target rails to practice feinting low and attacking high (and the reverse). Practice feinting in the same line multiple times before lunging.

Reposts: Measure an extension distance to the target and practice accurate reposts to all lines at close range.

Repost from the Lunge: Lunge at the target’s center and practice parrying and reposting while in the lunge. Alternate the attacks and reposts.
