This is how I learned, and I loved it. Its so different now--just twirling and flicking.

All sports evolve, but what happened to fencing is a tragedy. The sport might just as well be called something else because it has nothing in common with what it used to be only decades ago. In fact, I can’t think of any other sport that’s changed so much as to become ad unrecognizable as fencing. It’s a shame.

I train historical fencing (smallsword, sabre) that's based on the teachings of some extremely old dude who dueled between the wars and passed his knowledge in the 90' + some experimentation and it's more or less what we do (except of the rised off hand). Without the electric system and penalized double hits that's the most reasonable way to do it.

That's how I learned :-) My teacher was Imre Hennyey who was on the Hungarian Olympic team in 1948 and 1952. He also coached the Canadian Olympic team in the 1960's.

My coach was Bob Foxcroft at the University of Western Ontario--he was Canada's sabre champion. This was my style too--now I just don't know fencing.

10:28 and following. Ouch. "Sixté"? It's just "sixte" ; there's no accent. "Secondé"? same thing; It's pronounced "Segond" in French. "Quarté"? Nope.
