For those who use the middle of their finger, I this this is far more suitable for Belgian grips

I trained professionally for several years. When you say "as a lot of people like to do" in regards to putting tape on your handle... I literally NEVER saw a single person in my entire fencing studio do that, regardless of which style they fenced. I have no idea who taught you that, but that is absolutely not typical practice. Good luck finding an Olympian who does it.

Do you recommend to cut the noze of the grip to have thumb tip, and index knuckle resting on the pad?

Is this also true for epee? Always used the middle of my finger

im going to try that today

Does it also apply to epee ?

wow love the superimposition piece

That's me! Thanks for the response. To continue the discussion, are you saying that Macchi had started his "take over" too slowly after the search, or do you have issue with the withheld blade after the takeover making it seem like he isn't committing as much as Cheung? Or is it the fact you don't see macchi as "avoiding" the search at all?

I would be hesitant to call an evasion attack that crosses lines a search (unless against PIL). I've heard FIE directors say "I will not PRESCRIBE the path your tip must take to the target..."

Nice video, it's interesting hearing others opinions on this, for me personally, I would still call it Macchi. Cheung searching for the blade made his attack a preparation like you say. Machi pulls the trigger the moment that search misses. (See the fight between Safin and Avola for similar hit) He has a slight withheld of blade, but he has taken up the tempo and is wanting to avoid a quick parry back from Cheung. This is where I think watching in slowmo doesn't show the true intentions of the fencers. At full speed it shows Machi committing almost as soon as he can. For me, Cheung was just hoping Macchi was too late, and that he would get reprise attack (not quite reprise, but retaking the tempo after his missed search).

Wise words from coach Eli

3:41 lmao get em

Good breakdown. I wasn't a fan of the simultaneous call at all before this and I still wouldn't say I like it, but I understand where it's coming from now.

are fencing swords flimsy to avoid any accidental force when the sword is pushed into the enemy for safety?

I watched this video yesterday and implemented the defensive measures highlighted against my opponent during some club bouts last night. The techniques really worked. Previously, I would rush in to close and mess up their distance, but showing the threats was even more effective as, I would feint my threat and retreat at times and this threw off the timing of their march. I appreciate your different approach on your videos. Keep it up!

my friends teaching me how to cheer

Nice action

Could you make a video about how to deal with someone who is significantly taller than you and knows how to use their reach really well

Could you post a video on how to deal with fencing someone who is significantly taller than you and uses their reach really well

One question about defence tactics and 'priority of the hit' rules! Defender cannot beat attack ( and win the point with two lights) but his searching for the blade changes priority. Skimming the FIE rules I only see T.87, 'When a compound attack is made, if the opponent finds the blade during one of the feints, he has the right to riposte.' So why is it (which rule determines) that the defender's finding the blade gives him priority? Am I wrong about the beat attack in preparation?

Hi eil

Guh

Nice an unnamed how pesific

Let's gooo! New video!

Fantastic video. I love the format of focusing on a small set of tactics in a high level bout. Please do more.

Is there any reason why Garozzo doesn't just change his primary action? I can't grasp why one of the best fencers in the world gets hit more than five times in a row trying to execute the same attack without ever trying a something else. Saw the same thing in the men's team foil bronze medal match a day or so ago and couldn't understand why the USA team almost completely refused to try any attacks besides what seems to be a slow push and let the French wise up to it and run circles around them.

I'm ready to practice it.🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺

Can you make a video about when your opponent push you fast and takes foil hidden?😢

You are moving your hand too much, parries are made with the fingers, and completed with moving the hand!

Chase does sort of a turning of the front foot to a more bladed stance on his hops inwards which he usually immediately follows up with a hop back (reminds me of stance in taekwondo or karate). I was wondering if you guys had any thoughts on that. Awesome video btw

mom wake up sclass posted

nice video, i need moreeeee

Emmer's in-out bounce is very epee. I don't know if I've ever seen a video of a sabre fencer using more epee technique that this.

Please make a video about second intention in conjunction with this! This was very educational

This is so good lesson. Garozzo vs Chase is perfect textbook.

Music is a nice touch!

New video!

Great video marred by sound coming in and going out. Any chance of recompiling the sound wtih some equalization between segments?

This video made everything click for me, it's fantastic

Since Parry Four requires you to rotate your hand from palm up to palm down, just how do you avoid spilling your coffee, since, by rotating your hand, the cup ends up on its side?

its not easy to punish it, bec lee is already one tempo ahead jumping ahead jumping back ready to retake -- 4:00 may I ask what does this sentence mean?

We believe Coach Eli won 🏆

Yuki?🤔 I know how’s yuki

Good job guys

Several times I lost track of which grip he was demonstrating. It would have been more helpful if, when he switched over to a different grip, he said which grip it is.

what does it mean by reduce tempo?

Insane, I want you as teacher

Muah❤ don’t give the mongoose a second chance…

Is there supposed to be sound?
