English

Subject field(s)
  • Fencing
  • Combined-Events Contests
DEF

A footwork pattern designed to cover considerable distance in a short period of time. It is a jump followed by a lunge as the rear foot contacts the floor.

CONT

The Ballestra is similar to the pattinando but the feet land at the same time so there are only two sounds, that of the jump and of the lunge.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Escrime
  • Compétitions à épreuves combinées
DEF

Conjonction d'un bond en avant suivi d'une fente.

CONT

[La Balestra] commence par un déplacement du pied avant [le pied arrière rattrape son départ et vient se poser presque en même temps]. Ce déplacement est intimement lié avec la fente.
