@@Cato_Minor I asked my coach about epee; he said when they're trying to win, it's very boring. He mainly fences foil, I fence sabre, but they're all fast. Probably sabre, foil, then epee
Henry McCue It’s only boring if you don’t understand what is happening. If you know epee well and understand the mind games they are using it is incredible how skilled they are
@@ClintWilber no it really isn't. Real sword fighting is much more brutal, even with sabre (the most intense of the modern fencing sports) you aren't allowed to hit the legs, and the machine doesn't measure strength, just contact. If you lightly touch someone's mask it's just as much a point as if you ram into their arm. If you want to see real sword fighting, check out HEMA, those guys are insane with their commitment to accuracy
The bottom of sabre is not target because it is based on horse back dueling in which it would be stupid to aim for the legs. Also getting hit with a weapon does hurt depending on how much force and speed you're putting into it even though precision might be more important. It's more important to be skillful than strong even in a real sword fight. Hema is based on broadswords while fencing is mostly based on rapiers which were thinner and more flexible. Just as deadly a sword but completely different techniques
This is an underrated sport.
Sleepyboi agree
yea, at least its in the olympics though
All I see is poking each other
Yes
It really is. I really wanna try the sport though
It looks so futuristic with the gear
2 lefites is a rare sight to see
1/100 lmao
Look at my channel...i have Golubitsky/Kim at 97 worlds...mens foil finals, and both lefties.
Yeah that’s crazy I’m left handed too and it’s really a rare thing
1/100 ye but this is world championships so there are more lefties
Not really, top 10 fencers in the world and 6 of them are lefties
Why must beekeepers fight like this :-(
Cause honey-making is too calm and tranquil)
Beelieve it or nor
As a fencer fencin for most of my life I have never thought of that LOL
Dunch Kinsella they’re both left handed or? The two guys at the beginning
AHAHAHAH I'M DEADDDD
Cela fait plaisir de voir un tel combat pour Gauthier Grumier! Bravo!!
Never watched fencing before. Jesus they're fast. I blinked and missed when one of them tried to stab the other one
if you think this is fast, watch sabre, this is slow by comparison.

@@henrymccue2922 it’s boring because just running up at your opponent is a stupid idea, you need to know what they’re doing, you need patience
@@realbignoob1886 yeah for sure. It's just as mentally focused as the others (if not more) but it is also a slower sport.

"He's given up the lead at the wrong time" ya think so announcer?
These announcers are really good
Squeak squeak
The last two was probably the close respect to each other for the point, almost life how I think real fencing to first blood would be!
what a smoothie game with immense pressure ever
The wires and relays hanging off their body seems so outdated. Hopefully they clean up the wires and machines so it’s more ergonomic
If it ain't broke don't fix it
@@henrymccue2922 exactly
Eepe is the best one, Just saying.
Saber is!!
Where to find the complete set of Olympic 2016 video recordings?
yeah really
Does anyone have the full video of Park Sangyoung v Geza Imre?
2:57, 10:01
Thank you
They are both left handers
How is called the song during the final celebration?
Coldplay, sky full of stars :)
I remember Adrien from miraculaus ladybug
He does sabre
the usual bronze place lefty match
That must be really difficult because the sword is so wigglee
That’s on purpose
this comment is funny
they do that on purpose, also its not as wiggly as it seems, they're just moving so fast the sword cant keep up lol
Why did the frenchman won? ☹️
Matei Aprozianu because he is better 🇫🇷
Kak... Masi kenal aku ga?? Mutmainna dari nurmilad
POV: icarly brought you here
wow !
I wonder how good a boxer would do in fencing.
Josh Pinder same for a fencer in box
Not that well, i've fenced with a boxer. They just have the wrong muscle memories.
Not well ye
I fenced a boxer at club yesterday and he won! Both beginners tho
This game really seems scary to me.... And I am being honest
it's less scary when you actually do it
Why the coach speak in italian
no offense but at the start the french guy looks like he has no eyes
Sup Elis
Epee is better dumbass
@@jabs5695 I know you’re just too cringe to hear me say that it is better
@@etherealkid9455 Foil is for stinkyheads
this is an Olympic sport but cricket isn't. lol.
Bc fencing is played in all countries at a high level, cricket is not
Also how can u compare a combat sport to a bat and ball sport
Average indian 😂
👍
Kendo is cooler
no its not
Say that one more time and someone is likely to beat you with a stick. ;)
This is what real sword fighting looks like and it's boring.
This is nothing like real sword fighting
@@henrymccue2922 it is if you want to win.

i understand but i play the sport and its very stressful since the whole body is a hitbox so you really don't want to take chances

Foil is for the weak

Webtrauma that was a fast reply
@@rohinp5755 U gotta be fast with foil dude

Steppen took too much risk
