  • This is a slap in the face to any REAL Olympic fencers. I am disgusted.

  • @TheEpeeist1 All in all I think that competetive fencers would be at least interested that someone took their time to try something new in fencing instead of mindlessly spewing bile in the comments of some random fencing vids.. ಠ_ಠ

  • This is NOT fencing. This is a disgrace.

  • @TheEpeeist1 This is just for fun, really. I suppose you could upload some vids of you fencing for us all to watch and comment..?

  • @jbujko thank you for your offer. I understand it is for fun. I simply do not want it to be confused with the style of fencing I was trained in. Modern Olympic.

  • @TheEpeeist1 Not really; you were trained in sport, not Olympic, fencing which by itself is a branch of a whole set of things known as "fencing". The fencing on the vid is a recreational/historical fencing practiced for entertainment so unless you provide some insight about your own impeccable style of fencing I suggest you take your ramblings somewhere else..

  • @LancetFencing -

    It's a form of epee, so I think they would both get a point.

    Also, they are special "Y-chords". I know physical chess sells them, and I presume Leon Paul and the others do too.

  • Okay, are you using a split epee body cord? or two separate body cords?

  • I thought so :) 

  • @LancetFencing However normally we use the VSM on a custom settings - we decrease the lockout time to 2ms so it's practically whoever hits first scores and we ignore the double touches within the 2ms :)

    I think it's much more fun that way - simple rules let you concentrate on the bout more

  • This is interesting. Im wondering which fencer would be rewarded with a point should fencer A (left) hit fencer B(right) in the sword arm and fencer B should subsequently or even simultaneously hit fencer A in the chest with the dagger?

  • @LancetFencing I have no idea - we set the timings as in epee so whoever touches within 45 miliseconds gets the point

  • @LancetFencing I would think that would be a double hit so both get the point
