Annatar he/him Posted March 6, 2024 Posted March 6, 2024 Favorite Fighting stance? I.e. Stonestance, Smokestance
Weaver of Shadows he/him Posted March 6, 2024 Posted March 6, 2024 Probably Vinestance, it appeals to me.
Lord Spirit he/him Posted March 6, 2024 Posted March 6, 2024 Ironstance, and now I'm aware that there are three stances that Sanderson still need to add.
Highprince10 he/him Posted March 8, 2024 Posted March 8, 2024 Bloodstance or windstance. Blood stance if I am desperate Windstance if I have the advantage.
Annatar he/him Posted March 12, 2024 Author Posted March 12, 2024 I would Defintly agree with the bloodstance, even more so if you can heal yourself via stormlight
Argenti he/him Posted March 21, 2024 Posted March 21, 2024 Smokestance! It's basically just fencing, which I do IRL, and it's flowy. I like flowy.

I'v been debateing doing it but I don't want to commit to something if i'm not gonna like it I fenced more saber and epee and it was a blast. I couldn't keep it up outside of school as it is a pricey hobby if you don't have access to the equipment. I bet more HEMA style fencing is even more enjoyable. Its a great way to train footwork. I also really liked that Bruce Lee nodded to fencing for its footwork, distance control and lines of attack.

( I fence foil, but dabble in Epee)

After a lot of kali and stick fighting I like having the entire body as a target. Use your longest weapon against your closest target. Lots of wacking hands and shins if you can. Off line attacks and less trying to maim or kill but just destroy their ability to keep fighting. Ironically that is exactly how I enjoy envisioning shardbearer fights... a few slaps against your opponents hands or shins to stop them from advancing. Epee is so annoying to fight against. Although my biggest issue with fencing has always been the suicidal tendencies of some strikes... scoring touches where you get a point because you touched their foot 0.1 seconds faster than they slapped your neck feels wrong haha. So I can feel the irritation against epee haha.
