It's not so easy as you think, I'm a fencer and it's a lot of work, don't forget that it may hurt some times...

@demonspn hahaha that comment just like spit on the instructors face

@ToaRanen7 actually you really need to learn each part well and focus on them individually, sometimes there's just one part you don't get and if it's the last, you might waste more time buffering the whole thing! that would suck if your connection got crappy all of the sudden,

It's kind of annoying how they split up the videos into very small ones that cover only one specific subject. It makes it harder to find all of them, plus takes up a lot of space on the channel, if you've seen the number of videos they have then you'll know what I'm talking about. Plus you can't learn all the basics of fencing by watching one of the videos. They should have them separate, and then one big video combining them.

what is the strip? we call it the piste is it different elsewhere or he is just ignorant?

Nothing this guys says or does is actually wrong, though there are small things I would object to, but it is poorly explained in a naff setting and he certainly is not an expert. And yes, I do fence, I coach and I am a teacher. I do know what I'm talking about. If you want to learn, get this - and no, I didn't make it.

@katya58 i don't fence professionally, but some friends and I fence and we did a gear less match and i took a rapier to the inside of my right eye... let me say, it hurt like a bitch... my apologies for the language... eye patch for 3 weeks... we haven't done that since... Fencing is dangerous, always use protection when using any weapon

@Cowpups You are a twat! Everything this guy says is confirmed in the books. Shut up and piss off!
