  • This is just awful... the parry should not break the arm unless it is last second, a parry should be with the wrist not the whole arm.

  • @antleredzen where can I see your videos?

  • @antleredzen So where would you recommend a person could find some online fencing for begginers vids.

  • Bogus is a pretty apt name for this guy.

  • I am a qualifyed fencing coach and a ranked fencer and this man dosent know what hes talking about. I wouldnt even attack him so harshly exept for the fact he claims hes an expert. What is his parry 5? that isnt a parry in any recognised fencing system. His lowline parries go too low and in his quarte he bends his wrist to face the opponents target which is only a legitamite technique in epee. Plus his parries are too big even though he says not to do them big.

  • I agreed. Big parries and chasing the blade makes it easy to get faked out, plus it makes you slower to respond.

  • Demonstrations should demonstrate proper technique. Plus, more appropriate, smaller parries would still be readily visible. P.S. I don't mean to attack this chap - he's trying to do a good thing, and more power to him.

  • He makes his parry big so we can see it

  • Guys -.-... Sports are not always about ranking and winning. :O Well of course coming better and winning is the point in most of the sports.
