I can tell these guys are good but I always imaged fencing being a swordfight instead of just dancing about winning with one touch. I understand this is hard and these guys are masters but it would just be cooler if they were clashing blades and and going for each other.

@MrMetalheart10 there are three types of fencing: epee is the slowest, foil can be either slow or fast depending on the two fencers, and sabre is always fast. check out some sabre before you make up your mind :D

Nice video. Tagliariol is so good and he makes it look so easy. In this bout it seemed he did not just want to win; he wanted to win with style.

@urbanyahoo he wants to win with style in every bout :D
