I'm just a historical fencing nerd, but I work body mechanics for a living -- this guy's a pure treasure. So lovely to see somebody who's mastered being THAT dynamic and unstable.
Love his unorthodox style, just realised now that this is probably where my old Japanese fencing captain got his inspiration! He looks like he has so much fun doing it.
The dance routines are really cool. What’s with the speed of light flashing steel things? Oh! They’re swords! Now I get it. Lol. The speed these athletes work at is amazing. I love these fencing videos.
I mean, If he could do fleshes, he would do them, and if legs were in target zone, high jumps as distance pulls would be absent - everything else looks not only cool, but also very solid!
@@sydneysabrecentre He's either super on form or he's REALLY dumbfounded as to how he didn't get the touch... no in btwn. Hungarians aside, this was a most delicious compilation.
It's disrespectful to piss on other nations traditional sport and just do as you please. I'm sure if an European would just do kendo as he please the Japanese would be offended the same way.
Imagine if people said this bullshit about any other sports. Was the introduction of the EuroStep in basketball "disrespectful" or was it just innovation? Why do we insist that combat sports should somehow not involve innovation and experimentation? Tokunan isn't breaking any rules, and he's an Olympian, so he knows what he's doing.
@@casperhowell8738 They want it to be some pure historical relic set in a glass case, but they also want it to be in the Olympics. Can't have both, guys.
To the one person who's disliked this, you are the wind beneath my wings and I do this all for you x

The best part of this is the utter despair he causes his opponents.
0:25 that little walk
perhaps the most unorthodox and at the same time most entertaining fencer on the circuit. Will he be fencing at Tokyo?
He's reserve on the Japanese squad

YESSSSSSSSS
I was starting to think you stopped making compilations
Tokunan embodies the idea of surprise attacks
vorschlag
Vorsicht?
Congrats on 10k 🥳
0:20 stuff I'd never get away with in a competition.
look i don't know anything about fencing but this guy is so much fun to watch
Still confused from the way he pulls back his front leg when jumping (e.g., 1:37). Makes it almost seem like crossstepping.

Such explosive energy
Is that Szilagyi looking hella confused at around the 0:55 and 0:58 marks?
It most certainly is

1:47
On beat 😫

Anyone knows what shoes does he wear on 0:55 ?
I believe he is wearing black ASICS
@@goombaa8866 Well yeah, but asics has a lot of black models(

Что за угар 🤣

This is an impressively stupid thing to say
Rules allow it lol, and its not like this is a European sport mainly, no need to go full neckbeard and piss yourself.
