    It’s such a great feeling to see that even after all these years since my husband ended his career, new videos about him are still popping up on UA-cam! Nostalgia and pride all in one! 😎🎥Thanks

    Its so funny to see how people react at his counter attack, cheking their blades or standing at shock of missing attack

    I had the honor of fencing him once. For reference, I'm a short woman. I was on defense and he said to me "you are too close". 💀

    There's a lot to be said about the "less is more" style of Buikevich's defence.
    I'm far from a great fencer but as a fellow leftie who loves a counterattack, the control that style gives shouldn't be understated. Being deliberate and controlled with the placement of your blade means you're ready the moment you see the opening you need. Smaller but deliberate actions means even the slightest misjudgement of distance can be instantly punished cause you don't need to waste time getting your blade to where it needs to be.
    Buikevich is the end result of learning that skill and taking it to the highest level

    Honestly I need an anime about this dude, or at least one inspired by him and his fencing style. I honestly find his nonchalant and apathetic style more entertaining than some of the other flashier sabreurs out there.

    This dude.... What a blast from the past to have this video show up on my feed. Tho I wish I'd gotten the crossover call at 3:13 haha (never realized it happened until just now).

    We have a lot to learn about counterattacking from extremely tall left-handed fencers in an era with shorter lock out time

      Lockout time doesn't matter when you counter so early that they don't even hit

      True, but it does when it allows for such large preperations that if you try to to hit them with it they can *react* with attacking you and winning by general movement direction based priority instead of hand movement based priority.
      The whole term *counterattack* is a bit screwed if used against someone doing a large preperation.
      It shouldnt be called counterattack if the opponent didnt even truly decided on attacking yet.
      If your opponent does a too large footwork preperation and you attack into his preperation, if he *reacts* by attacking that should be called counterattack.
      After "the box" suddenly terms and judging changes...
      Kim Jung-hwan also mentioned hes not a fan of the current timing and judging.
      Overall it makes the defender much weaker by reducing chance to successfully attack into prep ("counterattack") due to the opponent being able intentionally waiting for it to *react* by getting a double light and movement direction based priority.
      Atleast that what ive seen a *lot* over recent years. 🤷🏼‍♂️
      Great content! ❤

    Thanks for reminding me about this guy. He really was like that blindingly clever kid at school who did the absolute bare minimum of work yet still managed to end up in the top 1%. Or he was born a fencing savant.

    To be on a "travel team" in your own country requires a lot of dedication, and money. Move that up to international competition level. The money, the time, the impact on your day job (if you have one), family life, education, etc. So I look at this guy who "couldn't be bothered", and I have to wonder if that is correct. He bothered to make all those sacrifices, you expect it to show up in his fencing. You want more high intensity reaction, more aggression. You expect more, for lack of a better term, more Bazadze. But I'm fine with as little Bazadze as possible. He wanted to fence low key, I say go for it.

    191 cm tall and left-handed. He is probably just not used to trying hard, with this kind of advantage to begin with.

    • @tungsteng1
      @tungsteng1 Місяць тому +1

      191cm is by nature trying hard, because you are naturely slower than say 180 or 170ish by alot. It is a disavantage in physic body. But maybe his style is his overcoming the cons.
