Abstract

Fencing is one of the leading sports in Indonesia, which is expected to become a top sport to win medals at every sporting event. In fact, up to now, Indonesian fencing athletes still face crucial problems in achieving this target. The condition of the training program being ineffective means that the athlete's ability level is challenging to develop and is stagnant, especially in attacking movement techniques. Attacks are the technique most often used by athletes and are crucial in getting points in every fencing match. The reality on the field is that fencing athletes often carry out attacks that do not produce points due to their low attack speed. This condition will make it easier for the opponent to predict attacks so that attacks can be easily avoided or evaded. So, practical training in fencing attacks is needed to improve the attack speed. This research aims to determine the condition of the Fencing attack speed level through attack movement techniques using static movements in Fencing athletes. This research uses a quantitative approach and a descriptive method. The population in this study were fencing athletes assisted by the Indonesian National Sports Committee, Aceh Province. The sample in this study consisted of 8 people. The instrument technique used to collect data in this research was an attack test instrument called the Kuhadja Fencing Test. Based on the results of the study that has been carried out, it can be concluded that the average attack speed through static movement is 4.37 m/s.
