Very proud to have been part of two Slicer Sabre videos, both times as a prop to contrast the main subject. Folks, don’t ever let anyone tell you hard work doesn’t pay off 😤
One of my students from 4 years back won through that first situation. Opponent false starts 3 times, 3rd one being the final point. Ref gives the card, opponent goes nuts. My student is still on guard, turns his head to me and says "What just happened?" I tell him "You've won." Still on guard, "I did?" Opponent is still going nuts.
On a personal level I sort of feel for Tarantino, I remember many annoying fights against taller fencers who leveraged their reach being full of those "Non è possible" one light hits before the 2016 timing change.
I don't condone Tarantino's behavior on the strip but I can say that for the very very brief moment i trained with him irl (albeit outside of competition), he was very nice
That's such a hard call to make. If Curatoli is looking for a parry then it can be attack composee with that foot-hand timing, but it's really not clear that he is. Maybe? Abstain is probably right IMO.
Unfortunately the foot landing isn't always judged as attack no, which makes these situations more complicated. Especially when the defender might be searching for a parry.
@@SlicerSabre I've never seen a top level match where it isn't called that way. If we are going to second guess the rules, then we'll have nothing but arguments and not much of a game. From our club's correspondence with one of the two top sabre referees, a couple of years ago; they apply the rules except for the flunge. Until the pro and anti-fleche factions work it out in the FIE, that's a don't ask, don't tell issue. For the rest, they call it as written.
@@johnrohde5510 this is a clear example of foot landing not being applied in a top level match. I could send you many many more also. I wish it were a consistently applied rule, but it's not. The final of the world championships this year is also an example.

i have literally never seen a match end with a false start that's new
I have. I lost a local tournament because of it. Never again.
Have won like this. My opponent was furious. Happy days.

LOL I'm praying that one day I'm good enough to at least be a prop

The “I did” is by far the best part

Bazadze & Curatoli - what a couple!!! Absolutely killing...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Intro killed me right away 😂
Kim’s screech as an intro is hilarious

Looked like he was channeling Occhiuzzi for a bit there.
Bout 1: referee is quite correct
Bout 2: I feel Tarantino's pain
Bout 3: I feel the referee's stress
Bout 4: Yakimenko is a cheat
The Curatoli - Bazadze bit is especially funny, two dogs with entangled leashes showing force, but with moderation.
the ziad thumbnail is a work of art
bro went through the 6 stages of grief in the first clip
So, Bazadze's 1st phrase should've been "attack-no"? He steps first, then hits. Referees tend to count it as a miss (at least in my country)
Bro tarantino should get two blacks already
It would take a very brave referee to give Tarantino a black card
Tarantino is hilarious :D poor man
Mamma mia Tarantino... il suo temperamento 100% sud Italia me lo faceva amare e odiare allo stesso tempo.
"Non e possibile" - ha parlato da tutti noi.
🌶
Did you start off in Sabre or did you first do foil/epee?
100% sabre
Makes me wanna try saber ngl
What, nothing with Ochiuzzi?
Gotta leave some room for the rest!
Who was Tarantino against? I couldn't see the name on the back of the other fencer
wow
Who won actually 😅😅
I think he didn't manage to hit on the first try. Just my opinion
That's such a hard call to make. If Curatoli is looking for a parry then it can be attack composee with that foot-hand timing, but it's really not clear that he is. Maybe? Abstain is probably right IMO.
At 3:40 the fencer from the right clearly hit after his front foot landed. It isn't close.
Unfortunately the foot landing isn't always judged as attack no, which makes these situations more complicated. Especially when the defender might be searching for a parry.

@@SlicerSabre then it's not a close call, just a bad one. The referee is infallible in matters of fact, not of the rules.
happened at the 2019 mens sabre team event in Budapest a couple touches
