There are two criteria for division and classification of techniques in Damnjanovic Fencing System.
The first division and classification is related to the type of technique.
The other is related to the initiative in its performance.
From the point of view of the type, there are six groups of techniques: osnovna tehnika (basic techniqe, consisted of three subdivisions: stavovi - the stances, zaseci i ubodi - the cuts and thrusts and blokovi - the parries), primenjena tehnika (applied technique, consisted of four subdivisions – napadacka -offensive, napadacka sa otklonom - offensive with deflecting, odbrambena - defensive and preuzimajuca - overtaking technique), forme (forms – prearranged forms that are performed with the opponent. There are three variations of these basic forms in which the sword is opposed to the rifle with bayonet. However, these "advanced" variations are practised only by the teachers of the system), tehnika secenja (cutting technique – performed with the real weapon; the cutting targets are made of straw and sank in water before the cutting), borba (combat or free sparring) and dodatna tehnika (additional technique – throws, performed from the very close distance from the opponent).
From the point of view of the initiative in performance of the technique, there are four groups of techniques: napadacka (offensive technique), napadacka sa otklonom (offensive with deflecting opponent's weapon), odbrambena (defensive technique) and preuzimajuca tehnika (overtaking technique). In three forms, there are three different situations related to the initiative in the attack. In the first form – offensive, in the second – defensive, and in the third – overtaking.
