when i learnt to fence years back i trained with a wheelchair fencer who had amazing blade control. it taught me to commit to an attack and to always follow thru. these guys rock at what they do and anle bodied fencers can learn a lot from watching this

I've sometimes given lessons to non-chair fencers, just so they can see how fast they have to be.
-
I believe this is better quality fencing. Since these fencers can't just move backwards and forwards along the piste, they have to parry in order to prevent their opponents from attacking and they can't prepare - they just have to go for it!
Thanks for putting this up :)

This is legit. I would be cautious around these guys, and I have my legs.
-
hardcore
-
now, give them prosthetics and they'd own everyone on the piste. their bladework is phenomenal!
-
wow
-
This is great! 5/5
-
yes there is wheel chair fencing and it is intense
-
Foil priority, is a thrust. Once the sword is extended 90% or so (depends on judge) the player has proiority
-
I could imagine that their blade work is amazing... hard to tell from here
Also, how is priority decided for foil? And is there Sabre chair fencing?

They have to be legitimately disabled of course in official competetions. I have fenced in club events and would encourage everyone to when permitted. There are levels, ie: criteria used. Some fencers are wheelchair bound at all times,others can use crutches etc.. depending on level of disability. Upper body mobility is the most important, as it would using the sword from horseback... Harder than it looks and less forgiving... Great fun!

Yes it is amazing and quite fun too. I will set chairs up and have my non-wheelchair fencers practice thier blade work from time to time in this fashion. Thanks for your comment.

I don't know the specific origins, but for example I have a young guy who was an athlete before he was injured, and fencing gave him an opportunity to challenge himself and be athletic again. It's a good workout. It's similar to german Mensur Schlager fencing where there is no feet movement.
