I love Wu Bin ❤ He's got a really strong grip on the foil convention + creativity. Imagine the pain of fencing someone who does this 2:06 but who can also do this 3:18

This guy looks like he's having so much fun in bouts. It's such a great skill to be this loose when the stakes are so high.

In the 2001 or 2002 World Championships in MST, the finals was between Russia and Hungary. The Hungarians substituted in their number 4 guy, Kende Fodor or some such name. He had an awkward stance and an unusual galloping advance. But it was unorthodox enough to give Sharikov and Podzniakov fits.

Note how he gets a lot more serious on defense. Honestly this just shows how broken current priority is, as past the box, direction of movement is magically more important than initiating the actual attack with the hand. When your opponent is doing preperation steps, and you initiate the attack into his preperation, he can REACT by basically counterattacking and still get "priority". Sabre was more balanced with a shorter timer, a long attack with deep preperation steps was very dangerous, as the opponent could single light you by attacking first. To make parry&riposte more reliable they lenghtend the timer, but didnt adjust judging (mistake), so now attack in preperation outside the box is ridiculously hard, and priority based on direction of movement overpowered. Even Kim said how much he dislikes that. 😔

I agree. The principle of right of way should be that you should get penalized for counter-hitting someone whose initiated hitting you. This is right because in a martial sense true counterattacks are suicidal even if I’m the one marching forward.

Thats why I laugh mostly on foil as an epee fencer. It look like they are just running into their opponent's weapon with hand up lol. Those long and wide movements with the arm and the weapon are just bullshit in a real fighting sense. I think both epee and sabre are more "realistic" to old fencing than foil.

@@Daniel-bv5mx Well Epee has a very similar problem the other way around, you can nullify the attack with a counterattack... so fencers overuse overly risky counterattacks. Which is something that priority by judge prevents in foil and sabre, but by now over the years that changed into a very wierd overpowered priority based on movement. I like a mix of both, for example there being a hand focused priority, and single lights counting as 2 points, while double light with priority (which i would prefer to call initiative) being 1 point. This leads to very balanced, incredibly fun and detailed fencing. Also also halves the negative impact of wrong judge decisions!

@@Daniel-bv5mx Also, i dont think that fencing today has to represent "real fighting", but i think it has to be a balanced and fun game. It just by chance happens to be that this also fits together with earlier fencing priciples, aka focus on fast changing initiative. Instead of too long lasting and overpowered priority like in foil and sabre / or in epee ignoring of attacks and spamming counterattacks.

@@BetterExplanation I dont think it "has to be" martial. But if it makes the game more balanced and at the same time follows basic fencing common sence (aka reactive intentional double lighting isnt great) then thats a neat combination.
