that's because it was Kaboom, not FIE. You and I know that people don't have patience to look in this format. Any chance you can isolate the bout? and post it on your channel? I will share with a few comments. My plane to Lima is taking off. So I am tapped out for the weekend. Thanks.

no, I do not, unfortunately

Заняты были, Олимпиада, итд. Да про нас и так достаточно писали, доброжелатели. работа не останавливалась. 700 видео - unlisted. Будем делать public - одно за другим. Ну и с доброжелателями пообщаемся. Обьяснять же надо - так просто не вывалишь. вот приходите завтра на премьеру первого - the state of fencing. а про руку - это техническая ошибка исполнения спортсмена. надеюсь сама идея candy = конфетки понятна?

Юрмала

sure. We teach Intro To Fencing after-school programs and summer camps at the schools, 99% is done with Foam. Plastic towards the end. Metal - last day, if you like what you see, come to the club.

@@andreinazlymov7402 That's great! I had been transporting Masks, Sabres, Jackets, and gloves to and from schools. It's a lot of work! Very happy to hear that foam sabres could work. Is there any issues with hits to the face?

@@romanista77 I've done similar things with pool noodles cut in half. You can say "No hits above the neck", but the best way is just have kids wear the mask.

@@sansailes Thanks Chris, pool noodles sound like a great idea! Especially because I’ve had a hard time finding sturdy foam sabres at a decent price.

great question. let me push back on the first assumption - "i understand that calls need to be tight". Look at the call on the 7th second, - that's an Olympic ref and a 12-year old kid making "simultaneous" call against against their employer/father who immediately concedes. The call is there in the DNA of the sport - definition of the RoW/Attack per rule book. So I am not sure whether it is about "more experience". Yes, we can throw these out, forget the rule book, and call everything simo, The inconvenient truth is that you can definitely forget about "movement and bladework". Because, we know what will happen next - it will become about "moving forward" with the arm behind your back. i thought we were "been there done that". The current National Coach of the Italian Sabre won 1989 Jr WC in Budapest literally running in circles. I was there. I think it would be a great question for him - bcz his students dominate the world right now under these set of rules (when enforced), would he want it to go back to 1989?

@@nazlymovfencingblog3384 Is that Sirovich you are talking about? I don't understand everything you are saying. I understand the bit about things repeating themselves and certain ways of calling the ROW may come and go to still yet come back again but as much as I appreciate this video for helping me understand the calls in the box, if I were to show this to other refs without the words indicating attack or simo, I'm sure the calls would vary somewhat and depending upon their level a lot. can you make one of these videos without the calls and let me have a go at calling them? also how best to train for this? thanks for your response.

@@esgrimaxativa5175 this is not a ref training video. This is a part of training and athletes were told to do their best to do the attack. And yes, some of these calls are so 51-49 that I would not be surprised that a big portion of them will be called simultaneous and frankly as a coach, i would not have a problem with that. But here's an interesting question to ponder. Those close ones that are 51-49, almost everybody in the gym knows which way the call/action was, who had that tiny priority in timing, distance, explosion at the right time, etc. And in real life, another ref calls it simo. What happens next? Where's the threshold? 55-45? 60-40? And if you are the one doing only 40, do you know that? do you understand that you are getting away with it or do you actually believe that it was a 50-50? Does your coach come over to the ref and say things like, Com'on, it was simo [btw, the biggest give-away that the athlete was watching]. True simo's are rare. As an athlete, it is suicidal to keep doing 55-45 attacks that are not being called in your favor. You understand why, right?

@@nazlymovfencingblog3384 Thanks again for your response. This is very interesting to think about from a coach and athletes perspective. From a parent's, spectator's or perhaps interested martial artist's perspective , I'd reckon they'd look at this and say what's wrong with these people, especially if you explain to them some refs call things differently. Problem is, when you have these refs calling it simo most of the time or at least following some sort of consistency with their calls and then you see bouts where all these 51-49 touches go against you and when it is the other way around and called simo, you look around to see other nodding heads of agreement. Strange sport! 20 years in and I still think it needs fixing. What's your opinion on the whole "Russian box of death" from a few seasons back? We spent a whole summer training this and it basically eleminated everything we are talking about above. also, any news on these tests or investigations on sensors or smart sabers that detect properly given cuts?
