everyone who fences can do foil, it is the most basic weapon which is why you get taught it first. and "complex rules" lol not they are the easiest bouts to ref. they do have hard blade work but the small target makes it easier not harder to defend. in sabre and epee flicking it the best weapon and it's very hard to prevent.
Where are you from and what competition is this? Where i fence, i could get a black card for wearing cool socks. I WANT TO WEAR COOL SOCKS! but all the "posh" fencers think its "distracting"
It appears to be epee, for anyone wondering. Nice video, also, if you wanna check my band out just watch our video. I'm a fencer so this was one of the few cool clips on here so rock on!
I suppose, it's extremely annoying when you're hit in epee and you know that your opponent only got it through luck, but I think that it provides more of a challenge, 'cos you have to deal with both the skill of decent fencers and the unpredictibility of newbies
Least favourite? aah, you're breaking my heart! It's a brilliant sport when you're fencing real experts at it, maybe you've just had experience of it fencing newbies.
The worst thing is knowing you're way better and still getting doubles the whole time:P And then you try your best fencing, and then they just walk right through it and hit you>_>
strategy is also very important

Sabre is basic a bout consists of
1. Run
2.Swing
3.hope you get a hit
maybe the odd parry if your lucky
PacoDamorte 2 years ago
A bit more strategy than that. To be any good you have to think as fast as the sword, think of it as a very fast chess match.

this only epee come on everyone know that sabre is the hardest weapon.

actually sabre is the easiest. In some contexts, foil is the hardest coz of the small target area, complex rules, and complicated blade work

I definitely agree Epee is te best out of the three; the priority rules really annoy me.

Are you kidding, man? I like priority, it proves to be an effective safeguard.

jbonner01 5 years ago
... that's true too. But all in all, I would have to say that Epee is currently my least favorite out of the three.

I just haven't had a lot of experience in Epee, that's all. I don't dislike it, I'm just comfortable with priority.
PikminDS 5 years ago
Fair enough.
