Di tutte le imprese sportive di Valentina questa per me è stata la piu grande, tirare dopo la delusione di un assalto perso dal 10-5 in vantaggio contro l'amica rivale Arianna Errigo, con la consapevolezza di un oro sfumato e del mito dei 4 ori olimpici consecutivi nella stessa specialità.... tutto questo avrebbe gettato chiunque nel baratro, inclusa lei che pero a 21" secondi dal termine, indietro di 4 stoccate, contro un'avversaria fortissima, mette 5 stoccate consecutive, quella del pareggio a 1" dalla fine e si porta a casa una medaglia di bronzo che luccica più di un oro: qui è sintetizzata la leggenda di Valentina Vezzali!

This was indeed an immensely interesting bout, Vezzali's switch to an uncharacteristic powerful attacking approach towards the end was a very sound tactical judgement and seemed to surprise and overwhelm Nam. Both fencers of course very familiar with each other's way of fencing. Nam too, a fantastic fencer who easily deserved to be at that level in the Olympics. I first saw Vezzali fencing in 1993 with a much more mobile and adventurous style, I've seen Nam many times too, a fantastically clever and capable fencer.

How did you build this dummy? It would be great if you can list the supplies that you used. Thanks!

Well it was somewhat improvised. I just worked with bits of wood, bolts, springs, hinges, some chain etc. until I had something which did what I wanted it to do. The end of the video shows a bit of what is going on with the arm. There were no plans or "list of supplies". He is currently on loan to one of our fencers

@@showwhite7320 Obviously I am not in this video, I am actually videoing it. These are all top level fencers and coaches. There are however, some videos of my coaching on this channel. I would suggest the best approach if you have chosen a coach with proven success in the sport, is to trust the coach to make the judgements over aspects of technique, tactics or approaches to training. After all, that is what the coach is for.

In total honesty, that point in line call that I argued against Finn was completely just to try and have the point annulled to slow down his scoring, it very clearly wasn’t my PIL, but I just had to try and be cheeky 😂

regarding the fight with Indie and Archie, I was totally wrong (btw) about the query of the falling over card . I looked into it. It was that the person falling couldn’t score a point in the new USA rules but the one still standing could, as opposed to the regular FIE where all points are nulled. (And I’m so dyslexic I’ve probably misread it again) Just in case anyone listens to the whole 3 hours haha. I knew I’d seen something on the matter but I had confused it with some other decisions in another tournament with slightly different outcomes.

@AdamBlight Жыл бұрын

FIE Offences and Penalties, 1st Group 1.17 "Irregular movements on the piste * : hits made with violence or during or after falling" - Yellow Card. So if a hit is made whilst falling, hit anulled and yellow card. Hit made immediately prior to falling, hit stands and no card. The opponent's hits stand.

@AdamBlight Жыл бұрын

Yes, the theme of the morning session was using movement to create opportunities to score (I stayed away from the word 'footwork'). One focus was to develop a sense of when to go and when not to go. Lots of what we did didn't get videoed, we had class sessions exploring key concepts, analysing videos and other exercises. I've been recommending your book by the way.

@AdamBlight 2 жыл бұрын

If the back leg has been used to develop the speed and push of the lunge, the muscles will be tensed on the completion of the lunge and the first stage of the recovery will involve relaxing these muscles, I suppose that if the lunge isn't depending on speed but perhaps reach or timing then this might not be the case.

Thanks very much, what with covid neither of us have been able to do much and there are no competitions to focus on. I've been experimenting here with having 2 cameras with wide angle lenses to cover the length of the space in addition to separate audio recording and editing using both videos, that way not needing someone else to do the camera work. Hopefully this will enable more videoing of lessons going forward.

Hey Adam, I really enjoy watching your lessons. They are very clean and look like a lot of fun for the student as well. Im glad you are able to put out a video or two! Since Iris was having some trouble in the beginning with breaking her time on her attack. I wondered if teaching them would be a good idea. It seems to work in certain situations and maybe the student would learn to choose a regular lunge or to do a 'broken time attack' - if you were going to teach it, how would you do it and under what circumstances would you think it an appropriate move? or, would you not teach it at all? Great lesson and well done Iris, She killed it! looked like fun.

@AdamBlight 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Cory, Thanks very much. Yes, I teach broken time in a number of contexts, most particularly where an opponent takes a late and more competitive parry. In this lesson the break in time wasn't such an error but I wanted the use of second intention, fencers can often forget about second intention options. Contexts where broken time can be used are where the opponent is doing something else (e.g parrying, stepping back, searching for the blade) so can't very readily make an attempt to hit, I have a number of lessons exploiting this. The risk is of course, as with counter-attacks, that it becomes a habit.
