Kazuki Iimura Fencing Highlights - Japan Junior World Champion

[@xDinomanx]

I've been waiting for this so thank you so much for uploading this montage. Watching Kazuki is like watching Yuki Ota all over again. I'm already a fan.

[@OlympicFoil]

yup same here, already one of my go-to fencrs to tune in to on the competition livestreams

@@OlympicFoil felt like once upon a time people were comparing Saito with Ota. Haven't seen him playing in T8 for a while?. It seems that Saito is aggressive but not as fast. Kazkui seems to be just like Ota, very physically capable and can capture a lot of good timings at transitions, second intentions, and attacks/parries repose. Its just that he seems to have trouble fencing tall lefties. When JPN was fencing HK, Chueng and Choi the tall one gave him quite some hard time, as he was not long enough to reach them at exchanges. Anyways, he is so satisficing to watch, cant wait to see him medal in the future

After he won Junior Worlds I said he would go far and he immediately takes bronze in Belgrade. Excited to see how far he goes!

[@ΆρηςΤζοβάνης]

It would be great if you posted a video on how to become an official FIE Ref.

[@OlympicFoil]

hmmm i do have all the documents on that saved, it would be an extremely boring video though that's for sure

[@ΆρηςΤζοβάνης]

@@OlympicFoil where could one find this documents, because in FIE website is rather difficult.

[@OlympicFoil]

@@ΆρηςΤζοβάνης I'll have a look and see where you can get them, give me a bit 👍

@@ΆρηςΤζοβάνης www.faegtning.dk/media/1316/procedures-for-the-fie-refereeing-examinations-ang.pdf this is a tad out of date i think, you have to hold an EFC license currently

Ota’s original coach is Iimura’s father.
