Speaking of his balance, I'D like to also point out (as far as I can see in the video) the small size and tightness of his footwork. This lends him greater balance and allows him to change direction explosively. The same can be said for his step-lunge; the smaller, more upright lunge (reminiscent of foil or sabre lunges) allows for either a quick recovery (3:13 with Santarelli) or an immediate remise ( 3:40ish with Verwijlen). This lends him lots of flexibility in action choice. That why your coach tells you to stay straight when you lunge kids! And to develop hella strong core muscles. Great analysis, looking forward to seeing more soon ;)
Siklósi, Yamada, Park, Bida, Santarelli... If these young fencers can remain consistent, then men's épée will surely be exciting to watch in the decade to come.
To me, Siklosi lost that match because he appeared to not respect glazkov's point control and he lacked tactical discipline. He didn't prepare his actions like he normally would and against someone like glazkov that is an easy way to lose.
The beat 6 disengage is nice isn't it. Must be done as fast as possible though without even looking to see the reaction of the opponent. This against an opponent with a high tip (Italian style epee?) and the seconde pris-de-fer you describe in the Park video against flat bladed opponents would make a good pair of go-to attacks.
@@LelandGuillemin I don't know if you seen this match yet, it's really nice. Two of the strong Japanese team in action recently. Kano messing up that seconde pris-de-fer right at the end by not waiting for the extended blade. ua-cam.com/video/wc-hfR54ddA/v-deo.html
I've thought about doing that, however in one of the videos I made in 2015 a fencer got upset with me because the video exposed his biggest weakness... I don't want to upset anyone, I just want to showcase the best fencers. My methodology to beat Siklosi would be to wait for him to either fleche or do his 6 beat disengage lunge and just parry 8 the second I feel pressure on my 6. With a lead you just have to not take any risks and be prepared for his two strong actions.

Excellent point! It explains why he can be so explosive with a fleche from a retreat
Nice video. Glad you are back!
So happy to have you back !
Incredible dominance and ability from someone this young. I expect to see him around for a while.
Sad I missed this last year but glad to see u back
As someone just starting out with epee. I found your stuff really cool! Hoping you can make more of these, I'd like to show them to others too
Thanks! More to come in the summer after I've completed my university education!

Couldn't agree more with you
not sure about santarelli, and you left out cannone, I think kano is great too
Amazing content as always!
Excellent analysis. Thanks, and please post more!
Thank you! There won't be any more of these into May at the earliest... I'm finishing up my last year in university and have zero free time.
Really nice breakdown of his fencing style! You selected some really great clips to pair with your points!
Awesome video I really like these analyses, and Siklosi is a favorite of mine! It'd be really cool to see a video like this on Sangyoung Park.
Maybe I'll do him next. :)
You asked. I delivered. Currently uploading the Park video. Thank you for your request.
@@LelandGuillemin Awesome, thank you for the great content!
Great video.
The loss against
GLAZKOV
would be interesting to look at. 2019 Bern Tissot GP

Thank you!
Great stuff more please
Do an analysis on Alexandre Bardenet (FRA) next!

I agree with that! Great observation

It would be cool if you finished with your thoughts on what is a good strategy to beat these fencers
But great video!

What about analysis on Sergey Bida
