@@sushiman1865 Record time!

@@sushiman1865 actually it got better

How are you right?

That is why I love Hema far better. Usually both get punished for doublehits

It's epee, if you want self defense watch foil or sabre 🙄

@@colosseer4184 they do in epee which is what the video is

@@ClamorDiGilgamesh ummm it’s the opposite foil and Sabre have no real reason so actually block correctly more double happen in foil and Sabre than epee and both of those have very limited targets

@@colosseer4184 Not really, in most HEMA rulesets, thank god, neither gets punished for doubles, not more than in epee, anyway.

Reserved nature? Bro we just waiting for the right time to violently stab stab

We have to let it all out somehow. The rest of the bout is just buildup.

I wonder if President Washington did the epee bounce in his duels?

who win that tho

Can confirm, I managed to stall an opponent for almost an entire minute when we were at 14-14 in a tournament. The fact that I was moving slightly faster than a snail while on the attack due to their non-stop attempts at beating my blade mightve contributed.

So the ref gives p-card at sabre bout? Interesting

ukr guy is ready to ask for the video

If for every time I saw someone trying to say that I got a penny, then I could go buy an extra blade.

The reason it is all agression is that it is there are only 4 seconds left and the clock so the losing team has to go all or nothing

Yeah

@@SlicerSabre i mean, you have a point, but they usually try to just touch the opponent first and that's all. fencing as a martial art has gone downhill haha

@@jestfullgremblim8002 bc it's not really a martial art it's a sport and in this case the optimal strategy for the loosing player is just to go for it. Worst case he keeps loosing. Most likely he ties a bunch. Best case he catches up in score or wins but going this fast is the only way he'll get enough points in time.

@@nicholasgiampetro782 i know that it is now just a sport. But i don't like that, it used to be an actual way of fighting smh. Taekwondo (and others like Karate and even Judo) is now going through the same thing

Yeah to me it looks like people running at each other w/ metal wires and hoping to get lucky but I could be wrong

Épée is not normally like this. There's 4 seconds left on the timer so the person behind in points has no choice but to charge like that.

I agree with you, as an HEMA fencer, atleast where I practice it (Spain), matches are set up for 3 points, where, for example, a cut or stab in the head or your body are considered a fatal blow, so you wouldn't be able to keep fighting (you'd eventually die) and lose the battle (3 points for the head and body), stabs or cuts at the arms are 1 point and that applies for the legs as well, so I think that differences between sport fencing and historical fencing are those words, sport fencing (epee or sabre, etc) is literally a sport that doesn't really try to recreate what would've been duels years ago, and historical fencing is a sport too, but actually trying to recreate the past, so psychological pressure in a duel of HEMA is pretty interesting since a cut or stab in the head means your end (you lose), so you can imagine how people felt when they were literally fencing for their lives hundreds years ago.

As a both sport and historical Id say "real" duels are slower and a little slower/chubby for the layman to watch and the sport is a little more high octane but confusing for the layman to watch. All pref.

Бессмысленная война. Непонятно ради чего, почему. Типо у Украины хоть какие-то планы есть там отвоевать територии и пойти в ЕС. А ц России? Ну захватила бы она украину и чё. Что дальше? Совершенно не ясно

Given that not one of those was called and it is the world cup apparently, I'd say that the most likely explanation is that the video is doing something weird.

There weapons are needles. If you want "real swordsmanship" take a bloody Zweihänder and beat the living shit out of five people at the same time

@@xaga8794 i dont think there any pike formation to break nowaday to use a German 2 hand sword

@@Aes880 you find some if you search long enough

@@xaga8794 nah just use real blunted rapiers and wear thicker padding

@@xaga8794 A sword is a sword The main difference is technique

Russia won!

Epee (sword), saber and foil are the 3 types of blades in fencing - IDK which is which but... · In #1 only the tip counts · In #2 only the side counts · In #3 tip and side count I think there're also differences on what part of the body you need to touch to score points

The same pitiful fate has met olympic taekwondo when a particular vest manufacturer won the contract for manufacturing the hit detection vests. They make them ridiculously sensitive so olympic TKD is just leg fencing now. Pathetic.

With lethality, you kinda lose players and the art literally dies 😂

@@thanhavictus you only had one chance. Now they have infinite lives and no sense of danger. Like trying to practice war with water guns. Not even close to the real thing.

Dude don't know the sport and talk. It's a very special context and usual épée doesn't look like that (thus the "turn into saber"

You must be fun at parties

That's SAO, isn't it?

@@reinmune Kind of Im kinda sure SAO have same damage to any body part tho And also participants wouldnt die after hp reach 0,lol XD

@@skell6134 ALO, then there, when you die in the game, a person remains alive.

You could do it now with Motion Sensor Suit with some modification on the hardware & software

@@HapPawhere that's a good idea! I imagine you would need many censors to accurately draw hitboxes for different body shapes, so that you don't register false hits or miss actual hits. Maybe with an accelerometer in the tip of the blade you could reduce false readings by a lot.

It’s a sport, they aren’t trying to simulate an actual sword fight. It’s based on sword fighting but it’s in no way supposed to be one. That’s like saying “It always kills me seeing how track runners don’t act like their being chased by lions.”

@@Brother_K it very much obviously was originally made to simulate actual sword fighting and this is just what it evolved into over time and even still is meant to somewhat emulate sword fighting you know, considering they are actually using fucking swords? As apposed to your pointless analogy in no point do track runners be chased by anything, where as this entire sport IS sword fighting, like me saying i like water then you saying "then you like oil too" like im sorry but if you think this sport isn't attempting to actually emulate sword fighting, where the entire goal is to touch your opponent without being touched, like actual swordfighters do, then i don't know what to tell you. Maybe just look up the history of basketball and learn how players will adapt to the rules and bend them in their advantage to win and how rules change to accommodate to this changing the sport entirely over decades, it happens in basically every sport, i thought it was common knowledge but i guess not.

@@ledrid6956 Your first point is like saying “Humans are basically just apes because they evolved from them”. I was not saying that track runners were being chased by anything, rather it’s a sport about running but they weren’t running for the natural reason (Running has been around for far longer than sport). My analogy had nothing to do with your analogy, l I fail to see your reasoning there. I said it was based on sword fighting, like track they are doing the actions but it’s not supposed to be like running from a lion, you can be based on something while still not emulating it. Your last point is unrelated to anything I said, and “I thought it was common knowledge but I guess not” doesn’t really benefit what you’re saying and just makes you seem like a dick.

@@Brother_K it's kind of funny how the first thing you mention is how things change over time while ending it with saying that things changing over time is completely unrelated, you legit did a 180. There is not really a point in trying to debate with someone that will do backbends just to disagree with you so im not even going to bother saying anything about the rest of what you said.

@@Brother_K it's literally swordfighting for babies

A hit to the face mask or torso scores a point-

OH BOY.

They are in war

i swear... i understood the french words barely because it didn't sound native and had an accent and i was like what country is the guy speaking from, and then i saw the flags of who was playing

Of course the referee would never be from either of the competing countries. He could be from Georgia, Azer Baijan, Hungary, Italy, occupied Korea, Japan, China, Algeria, they are all fencing countries

Yeah, Captain America would stop everything with his spider webs.

The blades are blunted, so it’s not to the death, of course. If they both stab each other in this context, no points would be given - after all, both combatants *did* get stabbed! (Though, if it was to the death and both of them get stabbed, they’d probably be dead.)

Not sticks sir. Metal sticks. 5x the durability than wood. Get yours today.

It connects the epees to the electronic scoring machines. On the tip of the epee is a button that when pressed, switch on a light to indicate that they have landed a hit.

@@SlicerSabre das pretty cool
