someone who fences like Kelsey doesn't stand a real chance against someone who fences like Jeannet. Jeannet is on a whole different level.

I remember when Seth came to our club to fence. I had no clue who he was, and after seeing him fence I just assumed he was new, or didn't practice much. Needless to say, when I stepped up and fenced him the final score was something like 15-2 in his favor. It may not be a pretty style, but boy is it effective...

Seth's arsenal may not be the biggest, but his sense of timing and distance is second to none.

Kelsey won Challenge 2010, man that was an awesome final bout.

@Dymondhart He did get to the olympics. That's a pretty tremendous feat, for any athlete...

@simoncapon True, it just looked sluggish compared to Jeannet

[simoncapon]

@TiNoS1990 make sure to define between sluggish and technique-wise bad. I watched him today, and he rolled over alot of fast guys. He's sloppy, but fast as. plus its a huge lunge

@Dymondhart

and yet hes made it to olympics

[TiNoS1990]

Kelseys footwork is sluggish, he needs to work on that

[Dymondhart]

I'd forgotten how bad a fencer kelysey is. Please dont make an account of all USA epee fencer based on him. Some of can actually fence and do it well.....
