Fencing is a weird sport, why are these swords so flexible? But is fascinating how everything is so fast

[@OlympicFoil]

the flexibility is for safety, so you don't have to wear a heavy amount of protective gear

[@inquisitorbenediktanders3142]

@@OlympicFoil yep. If the thing was less flexible (like how they were used for combat) they would go thriugh and puncture the enemy, causing severe stab wounds.

[@shepherddog1199]

@@OlympicFoil also they use a modified rapier, which is already flexible

Need the two jump flicks by Jon Tiomkin in the bronze-medal team match vs Russia in the 2004 Olympics. The first one was pretty nasty. Completely unexpected. The second one made it into the now-iconic photo.

[@OlympicFoil]

Thanks for the suggestion, do you know if there's any footage of this bout on the web? 🙂

[@ericdew2021]

@@OlympicFoil I have not found it on the web. I know there are DVDs of it because I made a bunch of copies to sell to various people way back in 2004. Also, I'm sure if you ping Tiomkin or perhaps Kellner, they might have a copy.

[@oj4158]

America don't know how much of a freaking legend they are .

[@boyethewise1728]

Welp...once you have enough practice and control of the basics, your body starts doing some weird shet in order to realize the comands of the brain like: -"Dude we've been throug this a lot already, just add the blind poke"

[@BeinIan]

I remember moments like that when I played baseball as a kid. All the practice teaches your body how to move without thinking. So when a line drive is flying at your face, your subconscious doesn't have to wait for you to notice. You just catch it as a reflex and realize afterward how impressive it was. Or you just instinctively stick your glove behind your back because it's worth a shot, and the ghost of Yogi Berra guides your hand to the right spot.

[@guesswho2590]

The only thing I don't like about fencing is the fact that the rules, over time, conclude to stuff like this. That only works cuz you only need to touch them, and the force at which you touch them doesn't matter. So in a real fight a pro modern-fencer would be helpless.

[@OlympicFoil]

very wise

[@ZhongXinabingchilling]

Well fencing is a sport, not a martial art. Also, the approach to an actual fight would be radically different for anyone involved

[@jacknelsonvideo]

Yeah we have guns now 😂

[@jarrarwinks8470]

Not really, sabre parries are all basically real parries, except 1 and 2 are lower for the counterpart to protect the legs a bit, footwork is useful somewhat though a bit strange to use, though many could get by, olympic lounges as in the super crazy ones would not work but normal lunges if not to low work. Also, when parrying one thing that would screw with them if not use to epee much is having to not just tap because there is bo right of way in real life. Also, some of the weird hits would work, but yeah a lot would not.

@@OlympicFoil there is a computer game called PAYDAY where you engage in high-stakes heists.

I'd like to see footballers play in high heels, basketball played with a baseball and someone to explain how NFTs are anything but a scam for people to try to get rich quick and cash out on idiots but then i suppose thinking of these things are just silly.

[@user-kr5gi7gg7d]

@@luvizevol you know there is hema right and doing what that American did was silly.

[@luvizevol]

@@user-kr5gi7gg7d Sure it was silly but not everyone wants to get that physical. Now it's more a mater of chess and checkers. The best analogy i can give is... You respect chess and join a chess club. At this club you realize some people prefer checkers. Then, to your amazement, you see two people playing shoots and ladders in the middle of a chess club and when you look around people are laughing. Why? Because its silly. It's a silly thing to do the things he did but silly's why some come to youtube is all I'm trying to explain. Personally I don't like fencing but this was pretty funny to watch.

[@user-kr5gi7gg7d]

@@luvizevol was it pretty funny yes. But is it actual fencing no. That why I said that. It is because I also don't like how the sport works nowdays

[@luvizevol]

@@user-kr5gi7gg7d Well that's where your logic fails because this is in fact fencing. Look to the origins and it was still using an epee and similar to modern karate tournaments only light contact is permitted. If you change the weapon and change the rules and want harder contact then it's much more akin to hema. But now that's something totally different. Would you say the same for someone that's use to karate tournaments and a point system and say you don't understand why they don't participate in an MMA match? Well i suppose you would if I follow your logic but then its just not the same thing. Seems like you're taking a bite out of a clementine and saying you don't understand why it doesn't just taste more like an orange.

[@OlympicFoil]

sorry i don't get what you mean 😅

[@Kemnekluglenbrigstert]

Could they not dip these swords in some fluorescent paint or something? When in motion as they’re bending and reflecting their surroundings it’s not that easy for the eye to track each opponent’s sword. (I don’t follow this sport in case that’s not abundantly clear)
