Being short gives me a brutal advantage of exploiting particular vulnerability of a tall opponent's belly in fencing and in case of a fight

  • Haha, exactly

  • Well, I guess you understand that I referred to training rapier - you cannot pierce your opponent's stomach with it anyway. So its not literally "impaling" lol

  • No, its not a "weird fetish or something". Just wondering, are you a tall guy? If so, then yep, acknowledging such vulnerability of your gut can be unpleasant, I can see that lol

  • You nead to be sneaky, agile to defend yourself succesfully, especially given my short height

  • How about "Everyone has a plan until they get stabbed in the belly by a short sneaky girl"? 😉

  • Well, I'm pretty good at landing those ducking counterattacks into a tall opponent's belly, even when the surprise element is kind of gone. The key issue here is to be quick, to duck lower under the opponent's blade and to disengage quickly enough after I land that hit into the stomach. Such a kind of counterattack is called 'passata soto' by the way. I rarely get hit in the head when doing it.

  • You're welcome :D

    • Is it true that being short gives me a brutal advantage of exploiting particular vulnerability of a tall opponent's belly in case of a fight?

    Jump

  • Well, how will grabbing my hand help you, when my blade is plunged into your belly? How are you going to hold my hand exactly at the position I drove the knife into your stomach? And why you think I cannot just really quickly slice open your belly, even before you grab my hand? And with your gut sliced open its not long before you pass out as well. So, if we're talking about self-defense I can pretty realistically disembowel you actually.

  • Why would I run from you and increase the risk of you catching and grabbing me, when I can fight back by quickly pulling the knife out of my pocket and (since I'm sneakier, a smaller target and also have swordfighting skills due to fencing) just plunge my knife right into your belly up to the hilt (or even quickly slice your belly open to ensure you're incapacitated and represent no threat to me)?

  • Thanks for advice!

    Though I think it would be more difficult to stab such specific targets which you describe. So, yep, slashing is an option - but then still: wouldn't the belly be a perfect target for a kind of combination between a stab and a cut? For example if I plunge my blade into a tall guy's gut and then instantly move the blade up disemboweling him, or just immediately slice his belly open with my blade. My idea is that in contrast to just a stab, such a disembowelment will likely immediately incapacitate the tall opponent and also will be pretty easy and realistic to perform.

  • Well, blades, especially the thrusting ones like rapiers, act as an equaluzer here, when it comes to weight difference :D
