Translation: атака с дезангажемент
Атаката с дезангажемент е непряка атака, при която фехтовачът прекарва острието под или около острието на противника, за да смени линията на ангажиране и да нанесе удар в новооткритата линия. [1] Дезангажементът се изпълнява с малко, плътно кръгово или полукръгово движение на върха (чрез контрол с пръстите, а не с движение на ръката), измамвайки парирането или позицията на острието на противника и достигайки в противоположната линия. [1],[2] Дезангажементът е най-честата непряка атака при шпага (фойл), тъй като е бърз, измамлив и може да се използва като единично действие или да се съчетава в последователности (едно-две, двоен дезангажемент). [2],[3]
The disengage (degagement) is a cornerstone technique of French fencing theory, codified in the classical period and taught as the primary indirect attack since the 18th century. [1] Its execution — small, finger-controlled movements rather than arm-driven actions — reflects the refinement of French foil technique. [2],[3]
The disengage is the most common indirect attack in foil and epee because it is fast, deceptive, and mechanically efficient — requiring only finger-controlled blade movement rather than full-arm actions. [1] Execution time for a well-trained disengage is under 150 milliseconds, making it extremely difficult to parry on reaction alone. [2]
The disengage (dégagement) was developed by French fencing masters as a way to pass around the opponent's parry by changing the line of attack. [1]
The disengage and its compound variants (one-two, double disengage) collectively represent the most frequently scoring indirect actions in FIE World Championship competition across foil and epee. [1]

The transcripts provided do not contain instructional content on the disengage attack as taught in sport fencing. Nick Drossos Defensive Tactics focuses on street self-defense principles including distance management, preemptive striking, and targeting vital areas for rapid incapacitation—techniques entirely outside the scope of foil fencing. Master Yourself's two videos address forbidden martial arts techniques and pressure points (dim mach, nerve strikes, eye gouging, joint manipulation, and carotid artery targeting) sourced from various combat systems including karate, jujutsu, hapkido, and Hawaiian warrior arts. While these videos discuss tactical concepts like targeting specific anatomical points and creating openings through strikes, they provide no instruction in fencing footwork, blade mechanics, parry-riposte sequences, or the angular disengagement movements that characterize the disengage attack in foil. The disengage attack—a fundamental offensive technique in sport fencing involving circular blade evasion of an opponent's parry followed by a touch on the opposite line—is not addressed in any of the three transcripts. These materials cover self-defense and martial arts violence rather than the codified sport technique requested.

Nick Drossos emphasizes managing your space and distance first—understanding how far or close the attacker is to you—followed by reading their body language and then setting up your preemptive strike.
Never strike and disconnect. According to Nick Drossos, if you're going to work hard to get in close, you must follow through and finish the attack inside rather than hit and move back, continuously attacking until the attacker is no longer fighting.
Nick Drossos teaches to launch a preemptive strike with all your effort and immediately follow with continuous strikes to vital targets (eyes, throat, groin) without stopping until you've created enough distance to escape.
Your hands should never be down; keep them up and ready at chest or face level so you're prepared to defend or strike preemptively when needed.

FIE: легална — Legal fencing technique — governed by FIE rules for foil, épée, and sabre; HEMA: легална — Legal in historical fencing competition
Оценка на опасност 2/10. Low — modern sport fencing uses blunted weapons and full protective gear; injury rate ~2.5 per 1000 exposures (Harmer 2008)
Стандартната верига за подготовка: En Garde → Advance/Lunge Preparation → Attack → Recovery.
Стандартните контри включват: Parry (Absetzen) — deflect the incoming blade with a counter-displacement / Void (Step Back) — withdraw from measure to avoid the cutting arc / Counter-Cut (Nachreisen) — strike into the opponent's opening during their attack.
Чести варианти: Проста атака (единично действие с острието (дезангажемент, удар или дир…); Съставна атака (множество действия с острието (финт, след това дезангажем…); Рипост (незабавен контраудар след успешно париране); Контраатака (атака в атаката на противника с приоритет или право на де…).
The disengage and its compound variants (one-two, double disengage) collectively represent the most frequently scoring indirect actions in FIE World Championship competition across foil and epee.
Основни грешки, за които да внимавате: Making the disengage too large — the circle must be as tight as possible for speed / Pausing during the disengage — the arm extension must be continuous; any pause loses right of way / Disengaging before the opponent commits to their parry — too early and they can re-parry / Not maintaining arm extension throughout — the arm must keep extending during and after the disengage.
