This is a great fight! Love it, even if it looked pretty much more like a duel!

gamdriing: I actually work with kevlar. Fencing blade does not slice through like butter. It takes minutes to cut it even with a well-sharpened knife. This is why police gloves are made of kevlar in many countries, because your knife may be sharp at any scales, you simply won't be able to cut it. Anyways: I don't know if fencing equipment is made of kevlar.

Wow. I wanna do fencing now :(

@Pisztu some are/were, most are not. today mostly dyneema woven fabric is used (UHMWPE) since it is easier to maintain (wash), degrades not in sunlight etc. and is stroger based on a weight ratio. hope that helps

Fencing as it should be...

@Pisztu it isn't. As you said kevlar is very efficient at stopping cuts, But to my knowledge it's fairly easy to pierce it with a sharp object. In fencing gear, it's not the cutting your worried about, but piercing. Because when a blade snaps during an attack, it can end up very...very sharp, like a needle. That's where the right gear comes into play.

Okay, I have to ask, what was that song?

And WOW, those fencers...just, wow.

i personally don't like the fencing style in this vid, too much absence of the blade and ugly form for my taste. i love Ota's form :)
