Epee Footwork Part 7 - the Three Counter-Attacks

Counter-attack #1 - Hit the arm and run away Counter-attack #2 - Run away first (double retreat) then hit the shoulder Counter-attack #3 - Hit and collapse distance by lunging or fleching to the shoulder on the opponent's preparatory action. Wait for them to commit to a compound attack or you may get counter-timed and they will parry-riposte.
