Yes. It's called arrogance.

@@sorchamundy1994 well they won lmao. Against russia too

I've met Race....he trains in my area (did some armory work for him and his girlfriend at a camp I was working when he was still with Golubitsky). Nice guy...but then again, I was dealing with him in a professional context as an armorer, not as a competitor.

There were at least 2 counter parries and I think that was an attack on preparation

Greg VonSeggern 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

Then check out HEMA fights.

what laser lol

I'm so glad they finally uploaded the videos!

IGots5killz It got copyright striked. It’s up on FFE

Thank you for that tip!

@@garchompdude thank you!

@@garchompdude Do you have a direct link? I found the site, but I don't read French and there's no translation option, so I can't search for it.

Insufficient contact

If you watch it in slow mo, u can see that after they both hesitate embolden initiates the attack first so he has the right of way

Is there a sport that's actually about swordsmanship? Like, a first to draw blood sorta thing? I'm starting to get into this fencing stuff more and more, but after seeing these world championship videos it's starting to look more and more like a more intense version of tag, only in this version you're both the tagger, and you're each holding what appears to be a very long but thin limp d**k

God. You can see a lot of swordsmnaship in fencing. But to be honest. At those levels the ammount of stress and the importance of every move makes It like this

Untrue tbh

Because.... Other teams become very good. Here's Italy's results in Men's Team Foil 1. Bonn - silver (lost to USA) 2. Paris - silver (lost to Russia) 3. Tokyo - gold 4. St. Petersburg - 5th (lost to Hongkong) 5. European Champs Dusseldorf - bronze (lost to Germany) 6. WCH Budapest - bronze (lost to France) So yeah, just one gold. The other teams were very good when they beated(?, I kind of forget what past form of beat) Italy, and they are generally good team

They had that "hug a chinese" movement to avoid being called racists. So yeah, that's how they got F'ed up this year

Do you have any idea how bloody that would be? The only reason the swords bend/have buttons is so that people don't get hurt. You should watch/play airsoft if watching people get hurt is fun to you lol

I think you'd be interested in HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts). I'm more on the HEMA side of the fence, but I foil "fenced" with my father growing up and a little in college and had a phenomenal time doing it! Try both, if you're able!

How right you were lol

Hehehe try bending the sword urself

who hurt you

The sword is made of steel bruh. If they made it any more rigid ribs would be broken and lungs would be punctured on a regular basis (which has happened before).

@@sebastianjin9817 it’s not a sword 😂

why?

U're the dumbest person I've ever witnessed

And why is that?

You're the expert 👍

You've got that right. Have a look at the old-timey fencers, they were really good at actually fencing. When I fenced in the '70s and '80s, we were taught by some really cool coaches who wanted us to learn sportsmanship and gentlemanliness, not ego and win win win!!

God. This is Foil. You don't get a point for touching the first. Could explain this for you. But I don't like to see my sport getting hate by someone that doesn't know the basics

ok join the national team then if it's so easy

Since my english isn't the best, I cant. But there are a lotta videos over there where are well explained.
