Love him, second fav after Aron. His stopcuts are awesome, he'd a very dangerous opponent in a real fight. His matches against Oh are classics already.
I seriously doubt he'd be a dangerous opponent in a real fight because he's a genuinely lovely human and wouldn't get in a real fight. But yes, I too fell for the scary Russian assassin vibe for the first couple of years.
My only issue with saber is the right of way. It gives it an unrealistic sense of speed because there’s less self preservation. I think epee being slower without right of way simulates the fear of being hurt that would happen in a real sword duel a bit more
Henry Gonzalez I mean, fencing nowadays is pretty comfortable where it is. It’s a competitive and athletic sport that isn’t necessarily trying to strive towards realistic fencing. If you want to check out something more similar to a “real sword duel”, then try HEMA.
Also, in all seriousness, you need to remember what a sabre is. It's not a duelling weapon for a fair fight. It's a sidearm. If you draw a sabre, you've probably lost already, but you want to make a big drama out of it.
Yet it is one of the best ways to prepare for real duel, because it teaches proper fencing - without hitting straight towards the attacker, which is intuitive reaction.
Just gonna mention that the sabre heritage is from the cavalry. The cavalry had sabers and they usually rushed the opposing infantry, cavalry head on. They rarely defended. So if you imagine you are on horseback, sabre actually makes a bit more sense. At least the first 4 meters.

He’s a great fencer. He really deserves a compilation. Well done!

I used to dislike his fencing. But now I'm watching his bouts again and that opinion is now moot.
