I (21f) am a pretty short (5'2") fencer (HEMA, rapier), and I often get advice to target a tall opponent's belly with my rapier. Also I've attended a self-defense class, and the instructor gave me advice to go for the abdomen of a tall attacker, if I have a pocket knife in my hand.

Why are you so weirdly specific and focused about this topic in particular? Yesterday you posted about this same topic and deleted all your comments and the post itself.

It's... peculiar, to say the least.

According to the post she's a fencer so she's already got armor lol

I'm a 21 y. o. girl and 5'2", not a guy and not tall anyway. And yep, I'm a fencer.

Don't assume this person is telling you the truth.

Their pronouns can be whatever they tell me they are, although it is suspicious that her username and height continuously changes.
