A Fencing Movie: Two Champs at War

[Ronin1459]

LOL I didn't read the description at first so i was watching them thinking, "why aren't they doing anything?" Then I was like, "oh wait is this epee?" (Don't mind me I'm just a 5' foilist with blade envy)

boring for the spectators but intense for the fencers

[killerkourkour]

i've been training for a while and i must say fleure (if i spelled it right) is more interesting both to watch AND to be a part of.

[yihd]

@killerkourkour wtf is fleure

[yihd]

wow I just watched for 1 minute and no one scored. Damn. I'm not saying it sucks though

Epee gets a lot of flak for being boring to watch...it probably is...but it is also the easiest for spectators to understand with the absence of the "right of way" rule. But the ability for both fencers to score on the same action also makes epee the most like an actual duel. It's not like foil or sabre where right of way means you can get hit without penalty as long as you are the one on the attack. In epee, you have to protect against getting hit too (esp if you are behind). Physical chess.

i dont think any of u have fenced epee at this level. if u did u would see that this is one of the most intense feelings u could ever feel. basically it comes down to u defending ur country and being able to control all of ur fear and turn it into a win.

this is why they are taking so long to get a point. no one wants to loose, but some body has to. the only question is which one of them.

[DeanGuitarist91]

This does look pretty boring just watching, but imagine how tense the person in the duel is. You have to anticipate your opponents moves and counter them. Fencing is more interesting if you're the one participating.

Ya this video is the reason, I only do Sabre demos.. because Epee is just tooo slow...

FENCING IS SO FUCKING GAY!!

Martial arts and UFC and MMA are 100times better than this gay shit. even sword fighting is better than this.. 'snif'

[gyrosprinter]

martial arts are gay

[kennlimbhsss]

nah, martial arts uses ur body. no weapons, while fencing uses some shitty stick which means weapon. which means pussy cant use own body and noobshit gayass.

[gyrosprinter]

weapons make everyone equal, a 120lb man fighting a 350lb man is gay, give the man a gun or sword now its he can have a true fight, leave martial arts to the movies and monks.

[kennlimbhsss]

thats unfair.

but u're stupid. have u seen that in tournament fights before? NO! or u trying to say street fight? then thats stupid..

[gyrosprinter]

just shut up the only reason we rule the earth is because of weapons fighting with out ones just stupid. Someone who dosnt use a weapon is just trying to prove something.

[DeusImmortalis]

That´s Britta with TT, by the way.

[gomezforty45]

longest point everr

they have no much respect for each other tho

sabre is still the best :)

[mrvincequan]

Gah! Epee fencing is a little slow for this music!

[zigurratm]

This is either a poor song choice for this bout or bad editing. but there was definitely no "pumping...louder" here. It would had been better without the song.

[enriquevillalobos]

what´s the link for the original video (without the song)??

Thanks

[odenmgod]

ive gotta say there smart feeling each other out but i enjoy saber and fencing better.

[Malaachi]

They're so good and know each other by rep that they are feeling each other out not wanting to make a single mistake.

[howlingpunkin]

epee's da most boring weapon. i can snooze during an epee bout without being noticed. so lethargic

[XamaX666]

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

[cplmontana1]

HEY. Don't diss epee. You're just angry cuz you always lose at it.

[nachional]

epee sucks

[flaze3]

yeah, foil's more interesting ;)

[rfmk]

[PVmelonhead91]

[shortbread93]
