I would parry 5 that "flunge" and take off Jason Sheridan's left arm with the riposte.

It doesnt matter if your ACTION IS OVER....YOU ARE STILL CROSSING YOUR FEET! This vid is a sure fire way to get a noob a yellow card.

if someone did this in slowmo everyoen would say "GA GA GA GAYYYYY!"

[Mistermonotony]

wtf is that... There's no fleches in saber, and that is horrible flunge.

[flutterflygoddess]

fleche's are not permitted in sabre, because they cause the feet to cross - the correct term for a sabre attack similer to a fleche is a flunge the terms are not really interchangable.

Also - REALLY weak flunge

gay..........

FLECHE O_O uudl of swore that was illegal

[ShuyuKoukin]

wait wait WAIT! are we aloud to do a fleche for saber? i thought as long as its a fleche..its illegal no?

[saberfencer19]

we are aloud to saber fleche in saber, (also called a flounge) but we cannt cross our feet.

[flutterflygoddess]

@ShuyuKoukin you are right - no fleches in sabre, the terms are not interchangable in proper fencing terminology. You will never hear an IFA ref refer to a flunge as a fleche-they are two seperate attacks. 

[shadowmaster1218]

his flunge sucks. the problem with expert village is that, while their info is pretty accurate, their demonstrations look nothing like that of an action in a real bout in real time.

[nightriderxox]

dont u need more room and start with a few quick advances so you can get a farther distance with a flunge?

[sabre1981]

This is supposed to be a beginners lesson?! Who would want his fencing student to hop the planche up and down when he or she doesnt even know how to do the basics properly? I would say the fleche is forbidden until you can do a simple attack with a step forward or a lunge (plus you should be able to do something if your fleche misses).
