[CyrusofChaos]

Abajo is 6'4'' (194 cm) and Tagliariol is 6'2'' (188 cm).

That was great. I would like to see such in-depth comments on fencing more often.

some people say that it's useless to watch fencing videos to learn some new moves. I'd say that with the addition of this on-screen analysis, fencers -in this case, the epee ones- can actually learn a lot. Congratulations for this!

@neverenough1984 i learned from this video that when everi miss a parry and retreat to try to flick into the shoulder when im too close to jsut extend my arm

Hi @CyrusofChaos

Thank you for a really good video. I LOVE the comments. I'm new to fencing so it helps alot.

So you have anymore video with comments, except for Tagliariol vs. Jannet?

Its good to have a gradual curve in the sword, makes it easier to hit the opponent.
