i LOVE ysaora's energy! you can see how different a mentality that professional competitive athletes have when it comes to having pride and confidence without being defensive. she was so genuinely excited for eugene to score on her and she was really encouraging him to really go for it. i feel like sometimes when pros are in these types of videos where they spar against amateurs they can't help but feel defensive about their area of expertise, but i felt like all she had was genuine enthusiasm to teach and share her love of the sport with the guys

I do another kind of fencing sport, its a huge difference facing an overall untrained person compared to someone who already is a sports fanatic, especially combat sports. They know how to move and how to adapt the moves you teach them. Also there is an innate understanding of distance as well as trying to hit someone while nit beeing hit yourself. While someone who is just trying to find his legs normally is just a predictable dummy to move around and outmaneuver those people always have an aura of threat and danger the moment you enter their reach.

Honestly, it isn't too scary considering how passive of a weapon foil is. I fence sabre and the one time I 1v1'ed my coach was absolutely terrifying due to the sheer speed he moves with. That, and the fact he stands a solid 5 inches taller than myself, but mostly the speed.

If you define fencing as "practice with blunted swords," Ysaora is correct that it originated in Ancient Egypt. Modern Olympic fencing originated as practicing (foil) for a duel (with epees). As a fencer, coach, and referee this was a fun intro video. It would be cool if Eugene sticks with the sport, he showed some promise.

Yeah. As a fencer it kinda startled me, épée was never really a sword for “practicing/drills” but originated from dueling. Foil was used for drills instead. I don’t know how she got that wrong, mistakes happen I guess.

Let's not forget Sabre! The most exciting of them all ;) but not originating from duelling like the others

Absolute I think offers STM blades in all three weapon in rainbow colors. One of my epees is rainbow and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen foils before too And sabre is definitely an awesome weapon (I compete in both it and epee now)

As an VERY beginner fencer compared to the professionals in this video, im so glad thar even when the guys make jokes, they fully commit to the sports and are trying so hard to learn. Eugene wouldn't be a half bad fencer. He has the lower body flexibility endurance and strength for it
