Honestly looked to me like the kid was a sabre fencer who did a foil competition because his coach wanted him to and he was going for low but legit sabre targets. I've seen many people move from one weapon to another and in the heat of competition, forget what's legit target. I agree, with an adult, this should be seen as preventable and intentional. But with a youth, you don't know what their training has been and it might have been instinct. Still, as a ref I would not have given one black card, but would have continued to card the action and increase the penalties over time and inform the fencer clearly what actions were leading to the cards so they could learn and self-correct. That said, a welt or bruise or two is to be expected. I have three lovely deep bruises on my leading thigh right now from last Saturday's epee bouting. I don't complain - I should have defended better.
Did you watch the whole video? There is a longer clip of the bout than just the whacking. I highly doubt that kid has ever been trained in saber. He has a very typical style only found in foil designed to maximally take advantage of foil rules. Hiding behind his arm, leaning forward etc. it was an accident only in that it is an accident to be overwhelmed by one’s frustration. That’s not something that gives him a pass to take it out on his opponent. Whats next? A flying knee?
That's just dirty play on the opponent's part. Shame on him and, especially, his coach for not making amends.
We need to actually enforce black card rulings again. Refs have become way to lax
It should be black card in my opinion
Black.

You don't make hits like that in sabre, honestly I get less bruises from sabre compared to foil.
