Thank you for your analysis!! Seeing your face makes the whole analysis much more interactive!! 💪🏻💪🏻 Would love to see more analysis on Japanese fencing style!
I’m fairly new to fencing and I would like to state what I learned so that extra points could be added or maybe past points adjusted: I learned that Kano was really aware of the distances and the um like habits his opponent would do allowing him to punish accordingly but also at the beginning his blade was a lot more wild, using “fluff” for the purpose of confusion. The moment at 8:14 was really cool but I was wondering why the opponent was allowed to push up so much every round? Is this because he’s a taller fencer and has farther reach than Kano? It was also quite interesting to see how the other fencer would use that pressure to ready a hit because Kano would have to freak out and push out when he hit a certain distance close to the end of the piste. Anyways are the key things to note how they both judged distances very well in order to ready from or initiate an attack, while also maintaining really good footwork so you can take the steps back when forced? Are the things to look for the tip dropping in a habitual manner to allow you to attack and to be able to see that your at a distance where you just close enough to start attacking but not be hittable? Do I start using the first rounds to learn how the correct distances feel against a fencer I am unfimiliar with as they did for the first 5 or so rounds? I do not know 😅. Thanks for the analysis! (I use pistol and am not tall so I would like to know what the general approach to taller French grip users are as well!)
He is certainly on my list of fencers to cover, I train with Eric Boisse who was a good friend and training partner of his, alot of those pronate hand actions weren't necessarily planned but happen in the moment as a very well practiced reflex.
@@GPFencing Actually, whenever Robeiri is fleching, he pronates his hand. Opponents often get confused by the action and cannot organize an effective parry.
As a beginner, this is really helpful, but I think I need even more explanation of what is actually going on. I don’t know if the audience you’re going after is experienced fencers or not, but your commentary assumes a good bit of knowledge. Still, excellent video and I’d love to see more of this.
That's great feedback, Thank you! Would you be able to give me a time stamp and let me know what you would like elaborated so I can try to do a better job on the next one!
@@GPFencing sure. I re-watched the first few minutes of the video and these are the moments I’m talking about: @3:00 - take a 6 @5:40 - showing 8 @5:50 - then the 6 comes out These are a few examples. It’s more the jargon/shorthand for techniques I guess. I’ve been fencing for only a couple months and I believe you are talking about specific parries, but at this point I don’t know what these parries are or the best time to use them. This might be too beginner for what you’re going for and I understand you don’t want to talk down to your audience explaining beginner stuff, but this is the stuff that lost me. Maybe there is a middle ground where you talk about the tactics/decisions for using certain parries, etc. without having to actually explain them. Or maybe use the technical names so I can look them up as I watch the video or something. Again, great video and I look forward to more!
@@jjschm20 Thank you!, ill certainly be doing more uploads in the near future. A lot of these terms you will learn very soon and will feel like second nature eventually but it doesn't take much time for me to explain what something is That being said this gives me an idea where I could make a video explaining various moves to make it easier.
Thanks for doing these. A pistol grip fencer who can keep the distance where points are even with the guards should be able to use blade actions to deviate the opponents point while hitting. Do you ever see opponents that can do that? Are there any interesting bouts where Yamada takes on a French-grip fencer? Breaking: Found this. The great BIDA figures out how to take Uyama's blade about half way through this bout. Brilliance ensues. ua-cam.com/video/VI3X3tqpwJ0/v-deo.html
Yamada handles Cannone quite well, there's also a video of Yamada vs minobe at a japanese tournament, although Yamada tends to use disruptive tempo with short attacks rather than disrupt the blade vs french grips is what i found! ua-cam.com/video/VroeW-fXaSI/v-deo.html&ab_channel=FencingVision ua-cam.com/video/tiUiJI9_nGs/v-deo.html&ab_channel=%E3%81%AE%E4%BA%BAmtk
The face cam is a great addition 👍
Thank you very much!

Great format, and another great analysis! Thanks!
Love the format!

Great stuff again! Great commentary and video.
This is great format 👍👌
Another great video!
I love your videos

Hope for more-especially some of Robeiri's points. I've tried to use his iconic pronate hand fleche and only got singles for opponents😵

thankyou very much
what do u mean by the numbers? "shows 8" "6"
6 would be a highline to the outside of the fencing arm and 8 being a low line to the outside of the fencing arm with the blade
