I watched this video yesterday and implemented the defensive measures highlighted against my opponent during some club bouts last night. The techniques really worked. Previously, I would rush in to close and mess up their distance, but showing the threats was even more effective as, I would feint my threat and retreat at times and this threw off the timing of their march. I appreciate your different approach on your videos. Keep it up!
Chase does sort of a turning of the front foot to a more bladed stance on his hops inwards which he usually immediately follows up with a hop back (reminds me of stance in taekwondo or karate). I was wondering if you guys had any thoughts on that. Awesome video btw
@@isaacrobinson2615 I think there are parallels across many martial arts. Wide stances support balance and bouncing in and out movement and you see that in all sorts of striking and combat sports
One question about defence tactics and 'priority of the hit' rules! Defender cannot beat attack ( and win the point with two lights) but his searching for the blade changes priority. Skimming the FIE rules I only see T.87, 'When a compound attack is made, if the opponent finds the blade during one of the feints, he has the right to riposte.' So why is it (which rule determines) that the defender's finding the blade gives him priority? Am I wrong about the beat attack in preparation?
@@stephanluis3955 if you find the blade before you get hit priority is yours. The problem is that garozzos hiding of his blade makes taking it a challenge.
Is there any reason why Garozzo doesn't just change his primary action? I can't grasp why one of the best fencers in the world gets hit more than five times in a row trying to execute the same attack without ever trying a something else. Saw the same thing in the men's team foil bronze medal match a day or so ago and couldn't understand why the USA team almost completely refused to try any attacks besides what seems to be a slow push and let the French wise up to it and run circles around them.
@@sharkastic2633 honestly, I think pride has a lot to do with it. When you get that good it can very easy to get into the logic trap, of “oh, he just got lucky, I know I can hit this” and by the time you accept it’s time to change it can be too late. Good training will help you realize when you’re getting tricked versus making a technical mistake and a good strip coach should also help you. In Garozzos case, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him try to intentional fail an attack so it may just not be in his repertoire.
This is so good lesson. Garozzo vs Chase is perfect textbook.

Please make a video about second intention in conjunction with this! This was very educational
Fantastic video. I love the format of focusing on a small set of tactics in a high level bout. Please do more.
@@patrickflanagan8256 thanks! Working on a new one now!
Let's gooo! New video!

@@ColinHsu-c2v we’ll try harder to get more content out there. Life’s busy, yo. Thanks for the support!
Could you post a video on how to deal with fencing someone who is significantly taller than you and uses their reach really well

Can you make a video about when your opponent push you fast and takes foil hidden?😢

@@NathanEzekiel-j1s yes I’m working on one right now. Sorry it takes so long, I’m really slow at editing

Emmer's in-out bounce is very epee. I don't know if I've ever seen a video of a sabre fencer using more epee technique that this.
New video!
