I mean...I started fencing when I was 10 years old. Before I started I always thought of fencing as a sorta "sword/medieval knights, pirates, etc." thing. But in time, and it didn't take long, I began to really think of it as its own thing. When I'm fencing, I don't think about swords and knights, I just..think of fencing, like its its own separate thing. It doesn't feel like medieval knights and stuff like that. It feels like..fencing. There's no real way to describe it, other than its a very technical, elegant sport. Almost arrogant one could say, in the style and grace fencers carry themselves with and the confidence. I'd say you're at less of a risk of getting seriously beaten up like in football or soccer, but unlike those sports I mean, when the signal to go happens, you go head on. You REALLY go after each other. I'd say its definitely more aggressive.
Yea its the same thing with me, i started fencing because i saw three musketeers movie, but after a while i started to think in the fencing matches the fencing and not ”oh my god i feel like jack sparrow”
Pedro Sicario I want to do fencing what should I know about the sport before I do it?
Well, there are three different types you have choose from. Epee, foil and Sabre.
And no, I don’t play fencing. I just googled it earlier.
Who here fences?

❤️ fencing
It's cool but very hard cause you'll spend most of your time trying not to get touched with that blade. It's no joke..but u gotta be with people who really understand it's apart of your relaxation..
Massialas & Geza Imri s2
Would be even better if Britain hadn’t cut its funding
It’s not very popular at all where I come from in my region in my country! :( We very sheepish far Northern English only ever want “football this and football that!” :(
my sport is swimming
Marko Stevanovic who cares?
Vladimir hidicas why so mean?

Is fencing a game? or only a sport?
what do you mean? Fencing is definitely a sport but what do you mean by a ‘game’?
So basically like every other fighting sport/martial art
Marc Ortega No, because it is neither a martial art or representative of actual fighting : (
RKcousins625 well.....I'm not a fencer but fencing was a martial art at some point in its life. I mean we have karate and taekwondo that have the same rules as fencing except it's a bit more expansive.
Although karate and taekwondo also have rules such as getting hit once is equivalent to one point and you cannot punch the face nor kick below the belt so.
Marc Ortega Not this fencing. This is a sport of people who play fight. Not to be insulting to the sport but it's not even traces back to martial practice. Look up HEMA sparring and you'll see the difference. That's what I practice.
RKcousins625 oh really? I am aware of HEMA and have seen a few videos but i thought that this type of fencing was also a thing in historical times.
Marc Ortega This sport fencing was practiced in the late 1800's, but the closest style of fighting that it represents (based entirely on the weapons) is smallsword fencing. In a highly condensed nutshell, two things:
1: Sport fencing is not martially valid
2:Sport fencing is practiced from oral traditions, where as HEMA goes directly to historical sources, as there is no direct lineage of masters to, say, longsword fighting.
no its not ,its bullshit. they dont even use real sabers like before
Mise no now
Not even a sport 😂

first
.. and THIS is why Floyd Mayweather is 49-0.
He'd probs be 1000-0 if he fenced
I don't dislike the sport, but NO! It is is not sword fighting.
Yeah it was a little bit poorly said from the foilist.
Fencing is not sword fighting, if it was we would not have HEMA
Its kind of, its basically a blend of small sword and rapier, it evolved from practicing dueling and dueling to what it is bow, also epee is basically the most real of them all, and is more real than a lot of what modern hema has been doing, especially the literal barely moving and mind games, which hema has far less of in my experience and from what I have see , though some do it. Honestly, hema and fencing both aren’t real sword fighting, both are pretty altered. Though, I will say saber is electric tag with car antennas and screaming dudes(I fence saber more currebtly) and foil is sometimes the same.
electrified antenna tag, not sword fighting. try HEMA for that
Unless you wanted to use a small sword... That's not real sword fighting cause it doesn't fit my narrow definition of sword fighting and I can't stand that people can enjoy a sport.
visit me in germany frankfurt and ill ''poke'' you with that antenna, lets see :)
@@SpiralPowerGaming small sword fencing is a discipline within hema
I'm not too fond of sport fencing being so comfortable with calling itself sword fighting. It certainly used to be but now it's in a form I would be very hesitant to associate with sword fighting. Its let arbitrary rules (right of way, only fencing within straight lines) and scoring systems mould it into something far removed from the martial principles on which it was based.
I'm mostly annoyed because fencing could be something so much better. I guess that's why the counter-culture (I guess you would call it) of hema is becoming more popular and alot of sport fencers are migrating over to hema groups or starting their own.
Uh its very lame and boring sport this is just downright lame like seriously give them proper medieval swords or katanas like seriously its just a let down.....
K. Let them suffer serious injuries or maybe even die. That's fine
Says every ignorant HEMA guy ever under every fencing video. But guess what: It's an Olympic sport not some hobby.
Posted by someone who obviously does NOT understand the sport.
you sir, have obviously never fenced😉 Give it a go... you may be suprised😉
@@georger868 My comment probably was over the top but I much prefer actual medieval combat with armour and stuff but i like the quickness of fencing.
