I learned that when fencing foil a straight lunge at the right time can be a devastating attack, especially when performed by an 11 year old girl on the fragile ego of a 12 year old boy. Yes, I am proud of my kid.

Lesson two from the Maestro. Intellectualize what is working for you. What exactly was it you did? Why did it work? Under what conditions will it work again. Gut instincts are cool but to get to the next level you've got to act consciously. It seems to me that is a life lesson more than a fencing lesson.
