A recipe for confusion......

Here's a recipe that I came up with yesterday to help you mess with an opponent's mind during a foil bout.....
Take one beat attack on the opponent's preparation, add speed and commitment
Once this has hardened in opponent's mind and a response of parry riposte has risen, mix generously with a first counter riposte
Add a little consternation by blending first counter-riposte with a feint disengage with a dash of accelerating lunge
If this is not to taste repeat step two and three above with a beat as an appetiser....

It might not be Nigella but it can be a heady mixture to your opponent...!
