RECOVERY REMISE

Warm-ups:

>>   Lunges
three sets of ten lunges per set
>>   Tip circling
with the arm extended, circle the tip 10 times both ways
>>   Footwork with lunges, 2x
same as above, lunge at each line of the strip

Paired Up Drills:

>>   Lunge-recover-with-extension vs. parry-4-riposte
attacker executes a lunge, defender executes a parry 4, then attacker recovers keeping the arm extended and disengages to hit the arm as defender lunges to riposte (for LH vs. RH, parry 6 for the defender)

>>   Lunge-recover-with-extension vs. counter-6-riposte
attacker executes lunge, defender executes a counter 6, then attacker recovers keeping the arm extended and disengages to hit the arm as defender lunges to riposte (for LH vs. RH, counter 4 for the defender)

Electric Drills:

>>   Advance-lunge-remise vs. parry 4 or counter 6
same as above; can alternate between parry 4 and counter 6 for variety

Paired Up Drills:

>>   Advance-fleche
