1930 Nedo Nadi Visits NYAC
Loading...
Uploaded by schlager7 on Feb 20, 2009
Raw, unedited footage of a visit by Nedo Nadi to New York Athletic Club on 31 January 1930. Cameras in this era were static so each shot lingers on one thing, then you see extensive shots of another aspect of the same event. Why the most accomplished fencer of that era was matched with a clumsy hippopotamus is beyond me, however.

@ReReShow80 looks like he's showing how to do disengages to me.

What kind of death spasm is that at the end? It just seems like he's mindlessly flailing around with that foil? What is he doing?

I think some of you guys are missing what's going on. For the blocking of the shot, Nadi has to stay in the right side of the screen, and so all the "action" has to be done by the other guy. If you look at the raw footage at the end, you can see the other guy struggleing to defend himself against..nobody. Guys, this is a performance, not a real competition. And if you watch the action a few times, you'll see the other guy's bladework is pretty savvy.

Great footage... thanks for posting.
Interesting to see the distancing is very tight. Alot more blade work than footwork.
