3 Minutes of Sabre Fencers Being Ridiculously Dramatic

[@RorySinn]

I can't tell who's screaming for joy and who's screaming for sadness in half of these clips 😂

[@gingeral253]

I don’t think there is a difference…

[@gilliann.9579]

Neither. They just scream.

[@ScoptOriginal]

That's the point. They try to mask their screams of despair as screams of joy to try and convince the judges to give them the point

[@ashleycook6025]

Dey screm that all. Dey screm

[@gabrielle9633]

This is why I fence sabre; it is such an elegant, refined sport.

[@zackthebagel1467]

I fence foil lol

[@lucyicanel]

I fence foil. It's like "Oh fencing, it's so regal and graceful." But no, the amount of times I've tripped on myself while fencing is way higher than it should be.

[@ossian1977]

guys yes, all good, but please petition for underwear being INSIDE the pants. Even Superman can't pull that look off anymore, and white on white is just a disgrace

[@alexthegreat38]

1:07 is my favorite. He gets a welt on his shoulder because he tries to riposte way late after the box has already lit up, then collapses to the ground and does the exact meme hand gestures that everyone makes fun of italians for, then Wagner comes over and shakes his hand while he does it. 😂😂😂 Some of these fencers should do improv comedy.

[@nazlymovfencingblog3384]

yeah, i did not get Wagner either. the only appropriate reaction, in the absence of the immediate black card, would have been another attack from the right.

[@ScoptOriginal]

That's the thing, he doesn't hold the shoulder that got hit, he holds the one that nothing touched. And it would be easier to hold the one that got hit, because he would do it with the hand that doesn't have a sword in it

[@ashantifan1224]

[@oscaranderson5719]

[@djantisocial6827]

As a sabre fencer, this is so accurate. Can't go two seconds in a big tournament without someone screaming.

[@samsignorelli]

Dude....gthe effing WORST at Summer Nats this last season were the Div I women's epeeists. I was armoring in Alliance's booth the entire event, and no one else even came close.

[@icecoaster]

i know right! Div 1 is always so loud

[@shestewa6581]

I was at a National open last year and foil was on the same day as men’s sabre. It was SO distracting hearing all of the screaming all of the time during my bout.

[@AirventOS]

I love at the end the judge walks up slowly and ruins the dreams of a fencer by calling a parry.

[@kedarraman6690]

You just know he was savouring it

[@samsignorelli]

*I'm about to ruin Elsissy's entire day.*

[@donaldbadowski290]

What I would really love to see is the referees behaving this way after making a call. Attack is parried, riposte yes. Touche. Whaa... Whaa... Oh yeah! My call! I rule this strip! Whaaaaa... Just to see the look on the fencers faces.

[@djtmkofficialmusic]

0:09 the fucking transition killed me

[@Amatureb]

Whenever you enter a competition hall, the first sound you always hear is: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHLJKDFSHIFEWOWVEVHEWO

IKK😭

[@outsideiskrrtinsideihurt699]

In kendo, celebrating after scoring will actually be punished by having that point taken back

[@krissalkond]

If Kendo get traction it will change

[@pompiewinter6879]

The last guy is my fencing coach HAHAHAA

[@ZenoDovahkiin]

You know, in football, _real_ football, that is, not egg throwing, you could show me footage from right after somebody scored and I could tell you which team it was. Here I have absolutely no clue who scored unless I see it on the scoreboard changing because both are just screaming like madmen. This is better.

[@TheRealMycanthrope]

Oh you mean soccer. Took me a sec lol

[@Sugas_Girr]

This is one of the best fencing videos I've ever seen!!! THANK YOU!!! 👍🏻🥰👍🏻

[@taratajick5220]

Pakdaman SCREAMING "BABAAAAAA" and Abedini's "wtf" face made my day.

[@EannaWithAFada]

What a gentlemanly sport about being the fastest to whip eachother with a sword

[@aquafine.2250]

sometimes my coach gets mad at us for not showing emotion, even if we know we lost the touch or if it was an easy touch. lmao

[@D_Boone]

I swear there's always that one guy at tournaments that screams every touch, and he's ALWAYS a sabre fencer. 🤣

[@drew9851]

2:00 does not belong in this video lmao I think most of us have been there after a tough loss, little yell, moved on

[@leftysabreuse3257]

I'm convinced that Abedini was looking to see where that mask went but couldn't.

[@Boredartist08]

And this is why I love Sabre, I love being dramatic as well

[@SparklyTootsEN]

I am a saberist and I can say that this is basically what happens every practice

smoothest transition, was not expecting.

[@melody2163]

As a Sabre teen fencer yup this is what we are like😂👍

[@Boredartist08]

Same😭 been fencing Sabre for about 2 and a half years, not including lockdown and I’m literally the most dramatic girl that fences at competitions

[@bxttercup294]

honestly, i yell whether i don’t get the point or i do 💀

Yelling is literally the best part of fencing sabre

Only reason to fence tbh

[@freddyt55555]

Does this happen in the other fencing disciplines?

[@jonathancollins9057]

Foil, yes. But not as extreme. I don't hear it a lot in epee anymore. Watched Kazan 2021 and hardly anyone did. At least from what I saw and heard.

[@katiestar6022]

I practice sport, classical, and HEMA. I love all three of them...but if a fencer tried to pull some of this stuff in a HEMA or a Classical tournament... Let's just say it wouldn't fly. Not allowed to talk under arms (on strip to fence basically) without express permission from the director (classical's ref) or scream. I find that there's a point where the other two disciplines have tried to divorce themselves from sport to their detriment. But, when I see stuff like this, I am happy for some of the more strict rules. 🙃

[@jonathancollins9057]

@@katiestar6022 I do HEMA as well and can say I never hear it. Quite peaceful hahaha!

[@christianfournier6862]

Sabre is the last fencing discipline to have been “electrified”, and it is probably the one where the decisions of the Referee are the most delicate to call. The habit of outrageous gestures of victory to influence the Referee’s decision has been known in Sabre for a long time, and it seems to have continued in spite of electrification.

[@gingeral253]

Are they trying to convince the ref with their screams? Or is it just because they are so emotional?

[@gingeral253]

Hmmm… screams for dominance…

[@SlicerSabre]

Both

[@archardor3392]

If it is a bad ref at a local competition, screams can be very effective in persuading a new and unexperienced referee that you owned the point. At the level shown here though, it is only emotional.

[@Amatureb]

Also they are trying to show dominance and intimidate the other opponent.

[@caseydubois3645]

Is this only in sabre, or do foil and épée practitioners do it too?

[@inugaminagayasu8847]

Epee doesn't have attack priority so that shit with both fencers screaming usually happens only in foil and sabre.
