1924. French. Silent. Examples and demonstrations of fencing and fencing actions as shown by Lucien Gaudin, Roger Ducret and Capt. Perrodon.

For some perspective...

Four years after this video, Gaudin won the gold medal in both men's foil and epee at the 1928 Olympics.

In 1924, the same year as this video, Ducret won gold in foil and silver in epee and sabre at the 1924 Olympics.

  • this is absolutely riveting. the physical control is breathtaking.

  • also the "Coq" (rooster) is the logo of France sportive teams...e.g. french rugby...

    anyway, thanks for the vids, absolutely fantastic...

  • brilliant! it`s a pity mankind didn`t have cameras back in 1400` :)

  • Oops, I did not see schlager7's reply about the watermark.

  • The rooster is well known as a belligerent and proud combatant. Perhaps the film maker was comparing these fencing champions to fighting cocks?

  • Great vid, especially the slow motion :)

    But.. Why is there a chicken in the background..?
