Olympic fencing isn'y anything like real fencing either.

@Murmillo1

No, armor has nothing to do with it.

The"weapons"are designed to flex far more (for safety's sake) than one would want in either a real thrusting OR cutting weapon. Since they aren't designed to actually thrust or cut through bone and flesh alike, there's no real need to maintain an optimal blade geometry designed for killing. The result is a much thinner and lighter profile.

so grate thanks for this

[Murmillo1]

Sure Olympic Fencing is not like real fencing. The weapons are very light because the fighters don't have heavy armor.

But we still use sport weapons for our Historic Fencing because you can have a free fight without injuries (look at our channel).

[ChishioAme]

@KnightoftheSky Very true. However, the duel in Princess Bride was, excluding its more ludicrous stunts, I believe completely based upon historical fencing; the Spanish tradition, I believe, as the Italian tradition is extremely thrust oriented. But, I'm not a rapier fencer, my experience being in German longsword and informal kenjutsu, so it's mostly speculation.

[KnightoftheSky]

@ChishioAme or the Chatty Duel from the Princess Bride where they do some ludicrous stunts, not the least of which being when one of them throws his sword in the air from behind his back, dive rolls on the ground and catches it as he gets up. Both fighters give plenty of sizeable windows to get themselves impaled.

[KnightoftheSky]

@ChishioAme I understand your point, and indeed, I can't really comment on styles like longsword or claymore - I'm not versed in them in any way. I mean mainly fencing styles, like cutlass or rapier - think the Zorro or PotC movies, although the latter is usually quite good when it isn't being deliberately ridiculous. Compare with the epee duel in Die Another Day, where in a modern fencing bout, the GRABBED one another, which is incredibly illegal

[ChishioAme]

@KnightoftheSky Means I tend to pick apart movie fights, as well, so in that regard, I know exactly what you mean, though in my case, it's more the acrobatic stuff they get up to rather than things like spins, since there are historical fencing styles that teach spins.

[ChishioAme]

@KnightoftheSky Except that same efficiency in Olympic fencing would get you killed against a historical, or even stage, fencer. Sport fencing is linear with very limited attacks, more so since your goal is just to score a touch against your opponent; this is a little less true in sabre since you can use the edge, but the point remains. Besides, even if someone is twirling their sword above their head, they are by no means wide open. Look up the zwerchhau. That said, studying German longsword...
