funny fencing

[FencingChicago]

The guy on the right is actually a pretty decent fencer, he just likes to have fun with stuff lolz

[dumegetgrim]

what an arrogant prick

[nicholasedwardchoi]

this is Ultra right??

[xenadon]

I don't have a lot of trouble fencing lefties anymore. I actually have a couple actions that I reserve specifically for lefties.

[luvinwafflez]

@xenadon i am left handed, and when i fence ppl who are right/left handed i do the same actions, just in different lines. It does not matter about the hand, if you are better you can win, if u lose, its not b/c theyre left handed.

[xenadon]

@luvinwafflez That's what I meant to say. What I was getting at is that there are some lines that are easier to hit against lefties than they are against right handed people. It's much harder to hit a right handed person on a parry 4 >> chest flick than it is to get a lefty with that. You're right though, the better fencer is the one who wins. People like to blame it on the hand though.

[xlVlilk]

lol if he did that against me i would've flicked him

[commander4495]

anybody know where i can get a cheap lefty pistol grip foil?

[commander4495]

for leftys, its kinda hard to be the only lefty in class. but if you to saber or eppe, you get a huge advantage. oh, does anyone know where i could get a cheap lefty pistol grip? i could use a lighter foil

[TheDomzal]

its also hard to fence a lefty in foil

i did ... and lost lol

[nattytheninja]

@TheDomzal God, i hate it when people use the "i lost because you are a lefty" excuse, esp. because there are so many left handed fencers now that if you are at all expirianced it shouldn't matter. I beat this guy 15-1 and he said he lost because I'm left handed! just bothers me alot, obviously :P

[yihd]

@nattytheninja Some people rarely fence with lefties. Like me. No leftie in my club at all

[nattytheninja]

@yihd Yeah, and I understand that, there are only two lefties at my club, but if you are a truly superior fencer, than you should be able to win, regardless. However, my friend loses to me because she doesn't fence lefties well. In this case, she looks at it as she lost because of something she needs to work on, not because I have a huge advantage, which is fair. Personally, I have problems fencing tall people, but do really well against smaller people, so i think it all evens out on some level.

[yihd]

@nattytheninja Yeah. You just have to turn your mind "The other way". But some beginners can't get used to something totally different. so yeah.

[Voiv]

Covering with mask, yellow card

[HPIracing111]

foil is the best and the lefty fencer has terrible form the opponent should either have flicked him on the back or hit him below the left arm, not very good fencing shown there, no real actions taken, mainly counter attacks and you dont want to use counterattacks too much because if its 2 lights then its your opponents attack so only use them if you know its going to work

[LordOswald]

@HPIracing111

Fencing includes a lot of different factors, saying that it may be dangerous using counter attacks (what is technically not completely right! but never mind...) or actions into the tempo of the oppenent is of course not wrong, but just take a look at the best fencers of the world and how they do this sport.

there are many different styles, but if you ever watched somebody like Benjamin Kleibrink you may have noticed that those "counter attacks" as you call it make a good fencer.

[droking2000]

o ok

[droking2000]

hey how come when u fenc in competition u have to walk on that straight line matt y can u be in a circle so u can move around and crap

[BuffaloSabres304]

its kind of like tradition. knights used to fight in long narrow hallways and they try to keep it in fencing.

[CenturyGamer]

Lol thats ballocks. Knights in long narrow hallways? Don't you mean jousting :P?

[BuffaloSabres304]

o it could be.

[foxybabie1989]

yellow card for bad foot movement! o_o

[IblanOvei]

Ya, seriouslly!!! =)

[foxybabie1989]

Though I'm still a noob at Fencing, but I do know when something is going wrong.

[cang0]

He's basically covering target with his shoulder. What a monkey.

[SmashingSquash]

The lefty looks like he's going to shit his pants or something. Which is kind of embarrassing because I'm a lefty fencer too. I don't fence foil though, epee's better.

[Lynkskukikage]

this is't funny it's insulting to other fencers. they the guy on the left lacks startigy, and he's also slow.

[gabrielnyc]

startigy? STARTIGY? STRATEGY

[maxikin]

ther is fletching, u no. wen u lung, and then u lean 2 far in2 it, and u run...

[gabrielnyc]

google Martinez Academy NYC

[smithodore1]

[cookeit]
