What Does “Balestra” Mean?
Balestra is a classic fencing move — a quick, explosive forward hop used to close distance and set up an attack. It involves a short, sharp jump-step, allowing the fencer to gain momentum and immediately follow up with an offensive action, typically a lunge or thrust. The goal is to surprise the opponent and break the rhythm, while maintaining balance and control. It’s a move that looks simple but requires precise timing, agility, and coordination — just like the perfect fencing shoe.
