Great video!!! Thanks for making this. Saber fencer and coach here. Must say, the evolution of ROW in foil is far beyond saber. One of the touches was a sort of attack into prep upon the reprise, wish we had that in saber. We have this sort of so called reprise that's been popular for a few years now where they both bounce forward but ROW is given to fencer who first initiates an advance after the pause whilst the other might be intitiating with hand, i.e. attack into prep, but good luck getting any saber ref to call AIP into the so called reprise. The ninth touch was brilliant. It's attack from the left because she breaks measure and then initiates an attack from long distance while right just holds her weapon and advances looking to finish. This touch should be taught to all saber refs. Saber would be more interesting with this concept as well as with your very finely tuned concept of correctly punishing failed blade searches with loss of ROW. The rules are quite clear but in practice people can search all they want. Thanks again! look forward to more great videos.

Wowwwweeeee I loved learning about these tight calls. Some of them I would disagree Mr MacDougall but that’s why I love fencing. Also what’s ur favorite ice cream flavor??

This is very helpful. I would like to see more of your ref analysis.

Excellent analysis! Thanks for sharing, very informative and helpful.

Good presentation 👍🏻

This video just proves I would be one of the worst foil refs on the planet!

Good job ! I love to see good commentary on right of way and this is a great contribution. I'd love to see more.

This is great, Forrest, thanks!!

Just amazing video
