ahhh... maybe. A compound is sometimes defined as an attack with 'more than one' feint, but more usually as with 'one or more' feints. (search on 'FIE Fencing Glossary of terms'). I go for the latter, and many of the stops were simple hits into the feint. According to the FIE glossary, a stop hit should also fall within the meaning of counter-attack - so terminology is sometimes 'grey' ;-)
Nitpick: some actions you describe as "stop-hits" would be more accurately described as "counter-attacks." A stop-hit is executed against a preparatory action; counter-attacks against single-intention thrusts (including beat-attacks or feint-deceives).
Thanks very much for all these videos and the analysis. I appreciate your hard work.
Thanks for uploading!
One of the biggest surprises in the history of fencing!
