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.

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.
