I was at a brutal fencing tournament some weeks ago, the only person I won was a Danish girl who had made mincemeat of my coach, (Who is an awesome fencer, I think he was just off-tempo or something.) and a lot of other folks on my team. She was literally my last fight and I was so happy when I won her
@CyrusofChaos haha I think youtube is a little beyond him.
Sadly I'm not in Columbus anymore, but Kovalev's attack was very much what Coach taught us, using the entire strip to force the pressure on the opponent's defense and force a mistake. Makes me miss fencing.

I know I'm bias from having trained under Nazlymov, but I love Russian Sabre fencing. Great break down.

@CrazyTom34 thanks! now the real test for me would be if you asked nazlymov and he said that he liked it. i have huge amounts of respect for him

The best saber video I've seen. And, although I've been at Nellya eleven years, I nevertheless found Kovelev's footwork to be astonishing.

@aGeorgian But the choice of music for the 2nd half is awful.

@liebstandarteadolf but since it is impossible to please everyone i would appreciate it if nobody commented on the music

I always like your videos and analysis. Kovalev is amazing!
Also like Keeth Smart, Nicolas, there are very clever, skilled, and special.
