Guillaume Bianchi Fencing Highlights | Italian FrogMan hits that Super Sonic Sky Strike

The incredibly low en guard position, the tasteful spin counterattacks, oh my god, he even has a ridiculous set on his blade.

Bianchi has been my guilty pleasure to watch for a while. His entire style is essentially the most broken things in the 2017 junior meta all rolled up into one froggy fella: march attacks with ridiculous bent arm finishes, and defensive actions that only end in fall short or counterattack. Why parry riposte when you can just spin around in the air?
While most fencers see spinning counters as a cheap, lazy tactic, Bianchi's low and wide en guard position gives him better change of direction and acceleration than most fencers. On defence, this forces attacker into a 50/50 on whether Bianchi will try to pull distance or to close it for a counterattack. It seems simple but it requires very strong footwork. While this worked well on the junior level, and even landed Bianchi a Bronze medal at the 2018 Bonn Senior World Cup, he could never break into the top 16.
But it really seems like Bianchi kept on innovating to improve on his style, especially in the 2022 to the current season.
Been waiting for Bianchi to win an individual senior fencing event since 2017 (satellites don't count). It's all coming together. Now I only have Nikita Itkin left and I can finally retire in peace.

I love how most people he countered are just flabbergasted trying to find patterns in his spin-stabilized forward ejection, when more than likely he’s just winging it 😂😂.

awesome vid! As a fencing follower its these kinds of vids that build the identity of the athletes. Had no idea Bianchi fenced like this, normally just wrote him off as another itallian, now i know different. Great vid, 1000% make more like this, makes following the sport so much more exciting!

The new Italian team is looking so strong now. Who's next to join after Foconi's retirement you think? (he's most likely going to retire after Paris I think)

[@R4G1NG]

Lombardi would be my guess

[@Dancingtuna]

Filippi or Diveroli would be my guess
