It's quite nice to see you include Son vs Mepstead in this vid. That bout (Son vs Mepstead) is unexpectedly exciting bout to watch. Son was more aggresive while Mepstead was more technically defensive. I think it's just a shame that you just include a touch from that match, since there are more very precise distance control in that match (particularly Mepstead), but I understand if you include all "insane distance control" in every bout. This video would be at least 5 hours long

So true! The hardest thing about making this video was cutting it down so that it wouldn't be so long. Unfortunately, that means I had to leave out a lot of amazing touches... But I'll make sure I come up with more of these videos!

Christian Albert Jahns What do foilists look at to measure distance ?

[@christianalbertjahns2577]

@@RovexHD dunno, I don't fence (unfortunately) and I'm not a good at analyzing fencing bout either. Probably they look at how close they are to their opponent, which doesn't really answer your question

I’d love more long videos

​@@christianalbertjahns2577 @RovexHD at least for me it's sometimes the blade, but mostly the feet. A lot of fencers at my club tend to trick you by getting you to focus on either their blade or feet/lower body before they close the distance and it's too late edit: I'm not too experienced myself even though I've been fencing for six or so years forgive me if I'm wrong

Chamly is such a giant that he fully extend his arm and it could count as a lounge.

How are you going to do a best of MF video without a Kruse stop hit?

[@abhaygupta3577]

Fencing is my life

[@RovexHD]

What are foilists taught to look at ? Eye focus that is ?

[@richardvsassoon5144]

what was explained to me. a long time ago, is -the middle of the torso * (the belly button, if you will ) cannot be feinted. That must move before the torso moves...

Personally, it was the blade
