 Fencing.Net Discussion Board - Attack-Counter Attack. Who can riposte?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
This seems wrong to me. If the person who originally is being attacked either counter attacks or ripostes immediately and unsuccessfully then I think they have used up their right of way and the original attacker has the right of way to counter riposte.
A riposte follows a parry of an attack, a counter-riposte follows the parry of a riposte and a parry is a defensive action made with the weapon to prevent an offensive action arriving.
If A's attack is compound, then B's attempt to score on A's cuff is a stop cut if it arrives in time or a counter attack if it is out of time.

 Lesson 1: The Basics
This means simply that you attack (by thrusting your sword point towards the original attacker) while at the same time binding his blade so his point is deflected away from you.
The next counter-attack is a counter with displacement, wherein you move your body out of the way of an attack, while thrusting your point into your own attack.
The definition of an attack is a blade with its point moving threateningly towards the defenders target area, while maintaining a straight arm.

The counter attacking style is useful for teams that are playing against them or might want to defend a lead.
It's vital that counter attacking teams use the few seconds that they have before the opponents can reorganize into their defensive shape.

First of all, make clear what you consider to be a good counter-attack ball and what is not- a kick into the box is often not a good counter ball, for example, because the opposition forwards will be directly in front of the catcher but if it is too deep the opportunity is there.
If the side be countered against wins the ball from the counter-attacking side it kicks the won ball back over the backs of the counter-attackers and they have to go back to fetch the ball and counter again.

 BigSoccer Boards - Bunkering/Counter Attack Strategy
I think we would be much more dangerous on the counter attack with a player with the vision of Mathis in the midfield trying to play a through ball behind a defense to Wolff, Donovan or Beasley.
With hindsight maybe I shouldn't have used the term "bunkering" in the subject line, because the purpose of the thread was to discuss how we could generate a more dangerous counter attack when playing from a defensive posture.
This is an important point because given how effective we are at defending, if could develop a dangerous counter attack from this posture I think we would have a much better chance of beating the top teams in the World rather than just keeping the score respectible.
