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.

Amazing. Is there sabre stuff like this too?

7:50 🥇 8:00 🥈 7:32 💩

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.

Ошибок навалом, это хорошо. Будут нам всегда проигрывать!

What a marvellous piece of history! So much of it still accurate and useful. Thank you for posting!

It’s cool to see how much fencing evolved

Too bad fencing isn't like that anymore

i will copy the move @05:44 to greet my partner. its pure elegance. @06:35 at reversing the lunge the arm should kept forward to keep the concpet "cone of steel" via handguard. it was the masters last check if we see 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.

Beautiful, thank you for uploading! It's a true pleasure to see this!

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.

1:50-2:10: "God, I hope I get it... I hope I get it... How many people does he need? (How many boys, how many girls?) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iJ9nfNCdm8ydd3U.html

Great find! thank you for sharing! Is there a saber version of this video?

Next time could we see a side view or a closer view of the lesson?
