Excuse my ignorance, but is it ok for his foot to lift for a moment from the end of the strip (the blue part)? In my mind that would be out but I'm not familiar with the exact rule
Lifting is fine so long as the foot is not behind the line. It's often advised not to though because from the angle the ref is at it can look like you're out when you're not
@@XandrestarX I fully agree with @Slicer Sabre. Another way to describe it is 'on the strip' is defined to mean having (part of) a foot within the volume above the strip. It seems counter-intuitive but works because we want fencers to be able to use the full length of the strip and change direction and you don't want to punish a fencer whose back foot is behind the end line but has their whole body over the strip and lifts their front foot to move forwards. Oh just has the athleticism to take advantage of that rule definition to the extreme. Arguably it would easier to ref (especially in an environment where we don't have video) if we instead said anything grounded beyond the end of the strip is off. It would be much easier to see definitively, but effectively shortens the usable length of strip by a lot.
The second time the refresh gave me this video. I wonder how did the Koreans train? Or is their performance (mainly of Oh, Gu or Kim) just out of talents, or there is something special about their training that let them do 4m lunges? I hope I can have that athleticism as I fence :)
The athleticism of Ota with the height of an NBA player... clearly the sabreurs must have been sinning, otherwise god would not have sent them this kind of punishment lol
As a korean I'm happy Oh is doing amazing. Even though he uses special moves like these I love how he scores so many points simply with his hugeeeee lunge.
The more I watch this lad the more I believe he has the potential to be the GOAT of sabre fencing. His physical skills are undeniable, he just needs to get his mental game under control.
I have thought only some of shorter Korean fencing player are incredibly faster than European players until I saw this guy. Wtf!!! He is fucking tall and why he is so fucking fast???!!!!!
That last clip is a perfect example of why the flying lunge works so well. They just don't expect it, and their body goes into panic mode because big heavy thing accelerates towards them from above
Very nice video 👏🏼👏🏼!! As a former foilist/current epeeist sometimes it's hard for me to follow a sabre match or understand the actions, so I appreciate a lot the slow time and the explanations in this type of clips 😊😊 1:16 and maaan, WTF, I wish I could do that 🙉
I know this attack isn't as viable anymore since the FIE scrapped the RBOD, but Oh had those amazing step lunges against Gu in Gyor. It neutralized some of the pulls Gu attempted.
This requires no skill. I’m a true natural athlete. One year of me training in this so called “sport” I would dominate the so called “professionals.” I have never seen one athletic fencer.
@SB. Years of form would still make them dominate if they were not athletic, but sorry for you these dudes are extremely athletic, ironically in some places more than most athletes. The legs on these dudes are insane, and also even funnier these dudes are in the video are basically all athletic all around. Get fucked random dude.

It's really not helpful in a sport that is down to the milisecond when the screen overlay shows green before the player even made his hit. I couldn't figure out what the heck was going on at 1:59 then realised the screen overlay was signalling green at least half a second before the score display in the footage went green. Is the screen overlay psychic?
I like nothing about Oh Songuk. He is just too tall, too fast and too dumb. Look how Szilagy debunks him. Oh Songuk just attacks like a true idiot, and ca 85 % of other frases he loses. He's been a disaster to the sabre fencing in general, and it took too long for the opponents to call him to shorter distances, where he is close to zero.
@@SlicerSabre All right. Yet, in my age of 62 I still can commit a parré-repost from pos. 2-6, although not that fast any more, I admit. Pre - allez - ! Let's meet on the piste? 🙂
@@raoulkurvitz6305 Sorry I was a bit coarse, but if you don't see Oh's brilliance then you simply aren't watching properly. You claim Szilagyi has debunked him yet Oh has beaten Szilagyi more than he has lost to him. There are many fencers as tall and even taller than Oh, yet none of them can move as sharply as he does. If Oh attacks like an idiot then I can't begin to imagine what you think of the fencers who he beats
@@SlicerSabre 😀 Ok, I was quite coarse about Oh as well; I apologize; please don't take my "critique" too seriously. It's amazing actually, what the Koreans have been doing, and your video show's Oh's brilliancy as well, without any doubt. His paré-repost from 4th at 0:49 is fantastic, for example and many more. I love your chaņnel, I just found it! 🙂
The leg muscles used in this alone will have you going wtf at most fencers if you had actual basic health knowledge, let alone realized how he is even doing this. Dude you probably are unathletic as fuck compared to these dudes, they all are extremely athletic at this level, these aren’t fat old men who stand around rubbing blades, they are all athletes.

Mah man Oh be fencing with cartoon physics
Dude has creative mode on
The athleticism of Ota with the height of an NBA player... clearly the sabreurs must have been sinning, otherwise god would not have sent them this kind of punishment lol
Probably trying to punish Hungary or smth
OH Sanguk is a gem, really enjoyable to watch because he's creative as well as skilled
Oh: steps on the piste.
His opponent: why do i hear boss music?
He is just perfect. Thank you for posting!
As a korean I'm happy Oh is doing amazing. Even though he uses special moves like these I love how he scores so many points simply with his hugeeeee lunge.
Number 2 shows his CLEAR god mode, actual fencing warlord
The more I watch this lad the more I believe he has the potential to be the GOAT of sabre fencing. His physical skills are undeniable, he just needs to get his mental game under control.
Agree. Sometimes he loses focus and lets his opponent back in.
He's super friendly in real life- and a handsome looking dude as well. I hope he becomes the goat!
He IS the GOAT. KING!
I have thought only some of shorter Korean fencing player are incredibly faster than European players until I saw this guy. Wtf!!! He is fucking tall and why he is so fucking fast???!!!!!
they should rename Sabre as "Oh's weapon"
Never really watched this sport before, but even I can appreciate talent when I see it
It’s more of something true athletics watch to make fun of
That last clip is a perfect example of why the flying lunge works so well. They just don't expect it, and their body goes into panic mode because big heavy thing accelerates towards them from above
OH is a real life anime character.
OH is born to fencing. In particular his flying attack...what else can we say? it's speechless...
That's why he's the world's best
That dinosaur roar at the end lol
Best sabre fencer at the moment
I wish I could've learned to fence when I was younger, this guy is way too inspiring.
I wonder is it just the combination of talent (80%) and training(20%) or what? How is he moving that fast? Defying the law of physics?
Probably 100% talent + 100% training.
Very nice video 👏🏼👏🏼!! As a former foilist/current epeeist sometimes it's hard for me to follow a sabre match or understand the actions, so I appreciate a lot the slow time and the explanations in this type of clips 😊😊
1:16 and maaan, WTF, I wish I could do that 🙉
My impression is that Oh and Junho Kim hit while on defense with increasing facility.
As George Takei would say..."Oh my!"
I’m gonna start to try fencing like oh sanguk
Oh s***! It's OH! Wow just wow. thanks for explaining the moves - so much!
Hr is powerful ❤❤❤
What do you like about Oh Sanguk??
Literally everything
😂
He is so athletic and definitely one of the best fencers I've seen
❤❤
our hungarian fellows are getting obliterated

Pardon my ignorance. What is RBOD that the FIE scrapped?
@@donaldbadowski290 RBOD = Russian Box of Death. That time in 2016 to 2017 that the FIE shortened the en garde distance.
@@chukuemekaoje1015 , ah yes. I hated that.

I am glad FIE started to call the timing a lot looser and closer to foil timing now, it sure makes saber more interesting to watch
역시 오상욱 선수님😘🤗🤺
분석력이 멋진 좋은 영상이네요^^

We do BJJ but I personally am a fencer. Trained since youth. Plz keep this channel going!!! Really good fencing coverage!!! Shout out the editor
Thanks bro
wish i could do same...he is amazing...
I mean the guy can just do a fleche without crossing his legs, this must feel so unfair to his opponents
How revolutionary are his moves?
1 is my favorite
1:10
does he make them fall short? it doesn’t look like his blade made contact with the other persons blade at 1:00 before the riposte
1:48, 2:02
How do you say " What just happened?" in Hungarian?
Mi történt??????
Or
Mi a f*sz történt!?!?!?

Ok the sencond move as epic
op
Koreans are built different…..
I wish I had his height...
Lokhanov and Curatoli are similar in height. It's not just about reach - athleticism and tactics too.

I’m sorry, but this requires no skill. Absolutely no innate athletic ability required
We will see how long your legs can move until you get paralyzed of too much footwork
Lol. When you can score a single touch against a guy like Oh, then you can talk ;-)
The leg muscles used in this alone will have you going wtf at most fencers if you had actual basic health knowledge, let alone realized how he is even doing this. Dude you probably are unathletic as fuck compared to these dudes, they all are extremely athletic at this level, these aren’t fat old men who stand around rubbing blades, they are all athletes.
