Great video marred by sound coming in and going out. Any chance of recompiling the sound wtih some equalization between segments?

What a zero-skill sport. It's like Frisbee golf

This video made everything click for me, it's fantastic

Since Parry Four requires you to rotate your hand from palm up to palm down, just how do you avoid spilling your coffee, since, by rotating your hand, the cup ends up on its side?

its not easy to punish it, bec lee is already one tempo ahead jumping ahead jumping back ready to retake -- 4:00 may I ask what does this sentence mean?

We believe Coach Eli won 🏆

Yuki?🤔 I know how’s yuki

Good job guys

Several times I lost track of which grip he was demonstrating. It would have been more helpful if, when he switched over to a different grip, he said which grip it is.

what does it mean by reduce tempo?

Insane, I want you as teacher

Muah❤ don’t give the mongoose a second chance…

Is there supposed to be sound?

attack in prep sus

why am i getting this recommended?? cool tho interesting

I was taught that you need to parry forward but I don't believe this is merited all the time. When the fencer is closer than usual, parrying forward will make it more difficult for your tip to go around the opposing fencer's guard.

I don't know if this was what the commentator meant, but I don't think you extend high because it's natural for your body to do so. Extending your arm high was a remnant of a time when fencers used to compete dry. Masters would drill their students into extending with a high line because it makes it easier for refs to see the touch. However, I believe that this method is now antiquated due to electricall scoring. Masters should stop teaching this. Fencers should extend their arm to achieve the shortest distance to the target. And return their arm in the quickest time possible. By moving their hand high, it slows everything down.

I don't know if I agree with this method of flicking. Race Imboden produced a video that is similar to this video. I think when you do a slow replay, it may look like this is what's happening. However, it only seems this way because the momentum of the blade is forcing you to bend your wrist. You are not intentionally doing so. To do a proper flick , you need to flick the point in. It's not merely about the angle from a high point. If you flick as in this video, you won't be able to hit a fencer's back when he's upright. The only reason this kid can hit the teacher is because he's bending over.

For me, attack on preparation is when you are punishing a badly done attack for example: the attacker walk with to big step or isn't "ready". So for me, in this case if both hit then the one originally attacking should have the point. If that make sense. But writing it make me wonder where to put the line between counter attack and attack on preparation.

That's interesting! So, the way I was taught to flick was to let the grip move in my hand a little bit and to get the wrist above the tip. I'll have try this when I practice on Monday :-)

Не совсем понятно, но суть уловить можно😮 И английский подтянуть😂

The concept definitely makes sense, but in practice is incredibly frustrating. Everything in fencing is subject to referee review, but attack in preparation feels like the most subjective thing and is incredibly inconsistent in how it is called from ref to ref. With some referees, you can fully break distance (so it would take several tempo just to get to you), not be chased with any urgency at all, charge full tilt, and have the other person get the attack call because at the last second (or sometimes even after you already hit them) they said "oh I guess I'm supposed to stick my arm out now." Or they only feel safe calling it when it's one light.

Hello, stumbled upon this video after watching your other one and so glad I found someone who has the same problem. I started fencing again this month after a decade break and out of the blue been having pain in the exact same area you pointed that radiates down my thigh. Was told it was sciatica by a doctor and probably caused by my sitting posture due to compression of the sciatic nerve, which I wondered if it was really a coincedence it started the same time as I started fencing again. If possible I would love to ask for some pointers from you instead of considering surgery, would really appreciate you reaching out by pm either on discord or any other platform to chat.

Hey, thanks for the video! I use a PBT S grip (epee) and was wondering about trying different grips. Is the issue the size of the stem? What about that Visconti helps you place your fingers to manipulate the point in 3D?

Nice video! Helps my hand/wrist a lot especially when holding a heavier sword.

Wow 😮animation is cool

Loved it I learned some n Paris years ago. BUT I need to get into it again. Your video was really helpful.

Please note the type of step shown is a "3-part-step." some may prefer a 2-part step (especially in saber, or Italian-style foil) where the back foot advancing coincides with the front toes touching the ground ( 1-heel, 2-front toe and back toe)

how to fence?!?!?

Beautiful animation, not the best but for a niche topic like this. It is gold

this is why point control is a lost art. also why no one likes to watch fencing except fencers.

beginners should start with a french. we have to many hack artists in the game.

Can you go over beats with the saber?

Nice. It s very important not to do it near the point of your blade, cause it will be considered a parry from your oponent.

I gotta love people like this who posts about a niche topic despite the small exposure. much appreciation!

helpful as always. I guess all the same applys with six guards?

is the person in the video eli schneckel?

Can you do a giveaway of blade I cost a lot here.anyway love you from India

Bellissimo. Grazie per questo video

very cool

Thank you for your videos. I participated in my very first tournament yesterday and I worked hard to use the information I have recieved from your channel.

Absolutely genius video idea! Really interesting 🔥

Very good boys

Question for you guys, do you happen to know Bac Tau? Or have been coached by him at all in yours years of experience? My dad learned fencing from him years ago (he grew up in Vancouver), and you guys just have a very similar fencing style, as well as where you're located. I was just curious. But thank you for your videos! Very informative! I thought I was going crazy because I just started teaching a small group in a very isolated area of BC, and I recall my dad always teaching me to parry with the point of my blade still aimed at my opponent. But all the videos I was finding had their blades go completely off target, and I was confused and second guessing if I was just misremembering. Your video on parry vs block really helped with that :)

👍🏽

If your glove is size 9,10 or 11 dont bother with the pistol grip and get a belgium one for both epee and foil.

What's the issue with the larger Visconti grip (the blue one)? What makes it too big?

My coach told me to stop pushing with my toes during retreats, and to use the forefoot instead. This would eliminate the screeching when shoes drag on the piste. However after about a year I think it has more to do with not making the annoying sound, as I find it harder to activate my calf muscles with the forefoot flat.

The Canadian Mask says "See you next time." 😂

i think about 6 hits from a step lung distance.
