FIE, thanks for putting these unedited videos online. It's a great match, even though this particular match is more like fighting than fencing. Very short actions. Great to see the footwork of the Chinese though.

LOL ;) Fencing isn't entertaining for everyone to watch. To me, watching most Sabre Fencing is like watching a tennis match where one player constantly Aces the serve; too boring without the "back & forth". I like Epee Fencing so much better. Epee allows more "freedom" of footwork and there's usually more interaction & bladeplay between the fencers because the whole body is a target. Try watching some Eppe (one touch) Fencing, I think you might like it better than this. ;) ~pamela

Thank you for uploading, I enjoyed watching the video. I'm longing for more bladework, though. ;)*off to search for latest Epee* Does anyone recognize what the musical pieces are that were played during the introduction as well as just before the opening announcement? I would love to know! :) ~pamela
