Even though she had been practicing for 6 hours straight, Dora was still concentrating on fencing in front of the mirror, even though she was hungry.

It wasn't until Mo's father and the others came over with the incubator that the two realized that it was already afternoon. As a result, Mo's father handed over a hot boxed lunch, and Dora quickly took a few sips and drank some soup to be full.

"Why don't you eat more? After a day of practice, the physical exertion is very high. Father Mo persuaded distressedly.

"No, I'm too full to exercise. Keep it until you're hungry. However, Dora was not persuaded, and she picked up her sword and entered the mirror room.

“He worked hard! Haven't had much rest. Sure enough, the sweat behind the strong will always pay more than the honor of the stage (He worked very hard, he didn't rest much, and sure enough, the sweat behind the strong man will always be more than the honor in front of the stage.) "People always say that the eight people from Asia are naturally strong, and they have so many honors at a young age.

But he finally opened his eyes today, they are not geniuses, but because of non-stop training, they have the honor they have now.

"Yes, he is a very hard-working boy, but he is just too stubborn." (Call me if you're hungry, I'm delivering food)"

The instructor nodded, patted Mo's arm, turned around the mirror, and stood in a corner where he could see the situation, looking seriously at the practice in the mirror room.

It was really the first time he had seen a boy like Dora.

"I haven't seen Dora bubbling today." Yu Xin lay on the sofa and looked at the chandelier in a daze.

"It seems that my dad dragged me to practice some kind of epee." Mo Lin sat on the carpet next to him with milk and played with Fei Fei and others to fight the landlord.

"Heavy swordsmanship?" Tingting instantly slapped her cards, "You didn't call me." ”

"What did you call you for?" The white tiger glared jealously.

"What's your business! Where is the epee hall? Chu Xia looked at Mo Lin with a look, she especially likes to play fencing now.

Out of control of the kind.

"Next to the swimming pool not far from the playground."

"Xinxin help me top, I'm leaving!" Chu Xia grabbed his mobile phone and left without changing his shoes.

"Where are you going?" Yu Xin looked confused, what are you doing!

"Practice the sword!"

Following the path of the team members along the way, he ran downstairs to the fencing hall in a daze, looked up at the three-story building, and Chu Xia took a deep breath. I'm so tired! Finally ran away.

But Chu Xia forgot one thing, she didn't know what floor the heavy sword was on.

Most of the fencing halls are glass-surfaced, and Chu Xia has basically lost his way on them. Back and forth I don't know how many times I ran across the floor. In the end, I sat directly at the top of the stairs and didn't move.

“You are the candlelight?” The glass door on the second floor suddenly pushed the door and walked out of the three girls who were about to go downstairs, but they met Chu Xia who was sitting at the top of the stairs.

Chu Xia raised his head and nodded, continuing to be in a daze, "I want to look for people at epee, but I can't find them."

"Let's take you there! Several girls looked at Chu Xia with a smile, they had all heard that Asian Candlelight was a girl who liked to play fencing, but they had never believed that gymnasts would like to play fencing?

But now they can be sure, it's true!

Chu Xia followed a few girls around and finally found the heavy sword room, "This is the place, but there are people in there, so we won't bother you." ）”

Saying goodbye to a few girls, Chu Xia pushed the door in alone and saw several mirror rooms. And it's all soundproof.

"Who are you? The instructor looked at Chu Xia dissatisfied, didn't he say that the mirror room on the heavy sword floor was closed? Why did anyone come in?

"What's up? Dora also finished practicing a set of movements, pushed open the mirror door and walked out, only to see Chu Xia standing at the door.

"Why are you here?"

Sensing the coach's dissatisfaction, Dora turned her head and said to the coach solemnly, but the instructor nodded hesitantly. The instructor left, and Dora changed her seriousness during training, and looked at Chu Xia with a smile, "Do you want to play?" ”

"You turtle son! Said to teach me to practice foil, but before you practiced foil, you changed to practice heavy sword! Chu Xia angrily pinched his waist and waited for Dora.

"Auntie, I haven't taught you anywhere, and I haven't been free lately! It's just a few classes to be delayed! You're so smart that you'll be practicing in a few hours! "In the face of Chu Xia, Dora is really right.

"Otherwise, I'll compare my sword with a foil. They are all newbies, and there is no such thing as being bullied. Chu Xia took the heavy sword on one side and pointed it at Dora.

Dora laughed, "Grandma! This is the epee. ”

"Is there a difference?" In Chu Xia's eyes, there was basically no difference between swords, and he couldn't tell what was a foil, what was a heavy sword, and what was a sabre.

"Come, I'll give you a general idea of the difference between the three types of swords!" Dora laughed, this girl is too funny.

The foil weighs 500 grams and is 110 centimeters long. The foil is a complete stabbing weapon, and only a sword stab is effective, and a rapier strike is ineffective. The effective hit is the upper body, which is covered by a metal suit. In this way, the electronic instrument can distinguish between effective and ineffective hits. During the match, you can only stab the effective part of the opponent's torso, and you cannot slash it.

The official competition uses electric foil, and the athlete wears a metal vest on the effective part, and when the metal vest is hit, the electric referee displays colored lights; Hitting the invalid part shows a white light. When they hit each other, the referee will make a decision according to the principle of precedence. If both players attack at the same time and hit (or one side hits) the invalid part at the same time, no judgment will be made and the game will continue.

And the heavy sword cannot weigh more than seven hundred and fifty grams at most, and be one hundred and ten centimeters long. It is heavier than the foil, and is a complete stabbing weapon, which is also effective for stabbing at the tip of the sword, but ineffective for horizontal strikes. However, epee and foil differ in that the effective parts include the whole body, i.e., the torso, legs, feet, hands and arms, and the helmet.

Unlike foil and sabre, epee is effective on every hit. If both teams hit each other within a quarter of a second, each team gets one hit. The easiest part to hit is the hand. Therefore, epee matches require a high degree of accuracy, and the best opportunity to attack the opponent is often when the opponent starts to attack. In modern fencing competitions, due to the large effective part of epee and the lack of priority rules, athletes are more cautious and pay attention to the choice of timing.

"Is there any difference? I didn't know, I thought the swords were all the same, the moves were different. Chu Xia looked dazed.

"It's different! What do you think is the difference between weightlifting and foil? ”

"It's heavier." Chu Xia thought for a moment.
