Basic exercises

With the category of basic exercises we are more or less at the atomic level in fencing: Basic exercises are all exercises that aim at simple movements and create a basis for safe and effective movement. Here, very concrete, basic movement sequences can be practised, which usually cannot be further reduced or divided up.
Basic exercises hardly contain any interaction with others and if they do, it is only to have a reason or a goal for the movement in the first place. There is usually no winning goal, as the focus is on the individual.\ Basic exercises can be understood as partial movements from training exercises.
