The essence and importance of timing (sense of surprise) in fencing
Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2006, Vol 16, Issue 33
Abstract
The author begins his article with a description of branches of sport in which the most visible and salient features are physical effort and most motor activity. Then he concentrates on fencing as an example of sport in which the important elements are tactics and psychomotor abilities. He stresses the fact that in fencing - like in other combat sports and games - energy abilities, co-ordination and technique are subordinated to tactics and psychomotor abilities, like perception, speed and accuracy of reaction, various qualities of attention and very specific ability: timing, the sense of surprise. The main part of the article is devoted to discussing and describing the essence, importance and value of sense of surprise He stresses the point that in fencing - and all combat sports and games - it is extremely important and vital not only how to execute a certain action (technique, sensory motor skills), but what and when to apply it. Strangely enough, although the sense of surprise (timing) is so very important in other combat sports and racquet and team games, it is only discussed in fencing text-books.
