Commenting "This isn't real swordfighting" on a video about fencing is like watching a video of an olympic tennis game and saying "This isn't real badminton."

[@yugiohguy]

Yeah if you want actual sword fighting watch HEMA not fencing

[@goose2835]

Épée is the best type of fencing and HEMA is the best type of sparring

[@GriziDaWiz]

Bouncy I find epee to be the more exciting to watch, the type of fighting you are thinking of is probably only fantasy of twirling blades and cutting heads off with one swing while parrying five swords in the same swing, if you aren’t thinking of this then I am sorry but too many people think what they see in fantasy is how it was really done and say fencing isn’t real sword fighting but a pro fencer could kill a pro ‘hema’ fighter all the same.

[@adandyguyinspace5783]

OsibGaming HEMA isn’t fantasy, it’s down and dirty sword fighting. And I’ve done HEMA before too and I agree with the school of thought that Olympic fencing isn’t real sword fighting, ergo, it doesn’t have the look of a medieval weapons fight like HEMA does. This is also like saying that Olympic TaeKwonDo isn’t real TKD because it takes away 98% of the techniques in authentic TKD. And before you say anything, I’m a 1st Dan in non-Olympic TKD

[@GriziDaWiz]

Incubus I’m not saying HEMA is fantasy I’m saying people probably think that sword fighting is what they see in the movies and games, I know HEMA is real sword fighting but so is fencing, it is just because we are not allowed to hurt each other we have no way of telling who hit first reliably since we use the buttons so that means yes it could be a light scrape that would realistically do nothing but that’s the trade off, I suggest you watch epee if you want more of a duel and yes I do agree that hitting each other at the same time a bunch is not sword fighting realistically but it’s their game.

[@mabelpines1533]

Do any of you people have any idea how sabre works? Its not "real" swordfighting. Its not meant to look appealing to those who don't understand it. Its a sport of incredible strength and speed, both mentally and physically. There are rules in sabre, specifically the right of way rules who determine who get the point (always favors the attacker). Its a sport, just like how boxers don't really try to kill each other, fencers fence to play the game, not to look flashy or land killing blows.

[@willhaney96]

Boxing is a sport in witch you attempt to disable your opponent while protecting your self over a period of time. Fencing is a suicidal leap at your opponent in the attempt to hit them first with next to no regard to what will happen to your self in the next 0.1th of a second.

[@johnloal8357]

Time and time again, I am amazed on how people react when something (whether it be a sport or movie or anything else that people have a preconception about) doesn't meet their "standards". "Oh fencing's not realistic... dafaq their blades doing, they are so whippy?, why are they in straight lines, why not circular arenas?, why are they not defending, they would die in a real fight" And worst of all- "this requires no skill" Every sport has rules, and if you don't understand them, I suggest you learn them or move on rather than posting on a KZbin comment thread about how this doesn't fulfill your preconceptions. Would like to make something clear also, This isn't Historical(classical) Fencing, just like how Archery evolved, so did Fencing. Fencing is a Modern sport, not historical. When I say Historical Fencing, I mean Fencing designed to kill and was used in warfare a centuries ago. If you want to watch Historical Fencing, well first off you can't (because people who were historical fencers in the truest sense of the word are all dead), you can watch the next closest thing with things like HEMA or things like Historical Fencing in plays, both of which are quite interesting to watch. Last note, please don't compare two sports up together and say one is better than the other. That is just blatant disrespect to both sports and people who state that are completely arrogant and narrow minded.

[@calebnation7797]

Actually HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) is a fairly large sport that practices historical sword techniques with many different types if sword from longsword to rapier... I plan on (when I get my rapier) learning the historical Spanish style of fencing...

[@tontalo]

Well I see your point and no I'm not experienced at all and have very little knowledge of this sport but, it dosent seem like there's any emphasis on defense which I don't understand. Again no expereance on this but it does seem like its more if a race to see who can poke the others mask first rather than a competition of skill

[@dudeofvalor9294]

+tontalo With Sabre and Foil you have the rule 'right of way' or 'priority' essentially the same thing. Now priority is established by the person that extends their sword arm first. As Sabre is a slashing and stabbing weapon, you have a wide variety of attacks which are very hard to deal with. On top of that the target area is from your head to your waist and includes your arm (this is normally were a horseman with a sabre would strike when fighting on horseback against someone else). So you see, if both fencers do not charge at one another then one who extends their sword arm and then moves down the piste establishes Priority (right of way) and is more likely to score a touch. So in an duel, you have a few choices to make. Do I attack? If so were am I striking? If not do I look to parry or evade their attack? This is just three questions that then lead onto so many more. For every question there is an answer and for every answer there is a question. Never say fencing does not require skill, you are totally wrong. What you should do is try it, against someone that is good and see how hard it is.

[@MathStringInputOutpu]

+tontalo why defence when you can attack? offence is the best defence. and there is defence. sometimes it shows one hits the others blade before makes an attack. that is called parry reposte, which is essentially defended attack and strike back.

[@wontuserealname8918]

+John Loal People have every right to call this stupid, there is no such thing as sanctity of sport. Sabre is stupid, hoops and clubs in rhythmic gymnastics are stupid, synchronised swimming is stupid, the winter biathlon (skiskyting) is stupid. Do they require immense amounts of skill and years of training? Yes, absolutely, but it doesn't make them any less niche and pointless. Besides, other sports like skateboarding require similar dedication, are FAR more entertaining to watch but for some reason are not Olympic sports.

[@sciencegeek2011]

I see many people complaining about sabre, saying it is not realistic. If you want to see realistic watch epee. It is true that sabre is not realistic but if you know the game then you can appreciate what the fencers are doing. Sabre is not for everyone. If you dislike it that's good for you, simply switch off this video and watch something else.

[@jessecollins3652]

In my opinion, while none of them are really that realistic, saber is the most realistic. When someone cuts at you with a sword, you need to put something up to defend yourself, so right of way makes sense. Yeah it sometimes ends up with people just trying to hit the other person’s sword to get back right of way, but it is better than nothing. Also only being able to attack the upper body makes sense as any part of the body is good to hit, but trying to hit the legs is very risky and not very rewarding (compared to the head or torso), so it would make sense to discourage it.

[@jessecollins3652]

big boy gustav Because the comment I’m responding to brings up realism.

[@matthewpham9525]

Jesse Collins It’s pretty easily the least realistic. Foil has right of way, but it has a method of determining whether or not a hit has sufficient killing power. Saber has no such rule, a brush to the lame with the side of the forte is treated the same as a decapitation. The saber itself somewhat unrealistic, being lighter than real ones.

[@jessecollins3652]

Matthew Pham What is foils measurement for killing power? A foil is far, far lighter than a small sword. Also saber doesn’t have pistol grips.

[@matthewpham9525]

Jesse Collins The 4.9 Newton’s required to depress the tip is analogous to skin penetration. Smallsword weights vary greatly, many of which fall into foil weight. Sabers do as well, but it is exceedingly rare to find one as light as an Olympic saber. As for pistol grips, there have been historical grips that have the same function as pistol grips. Foils can be mounted on a French grip anyway.

This sport is super fun and even my brother, who has asthma, can fence and loves it. Saber was never aiming to be a replica of real sword fighting and thus it does look a bit different.

[@TinyGiantBird]

Correct, actually. In sport fencing, the three disciplines are called basically everything but swords, and mostly referred to as "weapons". The reason being is because the root of the word "sword" eventually means "to wound". This is not the objective of sport fencing, so naturally it would be inappropriate to refer to it as "swordsmanship". Nevertheless that stops no-one from using that word.

Hey love this I do fencing but I always dreamed of doing HEMA I always thought fencers and HEMA could live in peace because most of us do both haha but they are very different but similar its strange but both are incredibly challenging and both should be respected there isn’t any HEMA places near me so I am booking a private session for a treat (:

[@midshipman8654]

yah, but it was a combat simulation originally. all the little things that make it the way it is today are there expressly because people gamed the rules of the older days to the point where it became largely unrecognizable. and is it any better really because of it? now its harder to follow for a layman, the fighters barrely have to parry or repost, and it doesnt simulate fencing much. I dont know if these elevate the sport in any substantial way. I can respect the fighters themselves while also very much being critical about the actual rules.

[@MAY974-d4f]

This is because sabre was originally the horseman. This is why they don’t poke but touch with all the blade and why the available surface begin over the belt, like if u were sit on a horse. They were training the cavalryman without horse by doing sabre

The thing is that there is the problem: That to a casual observer who can't appreciate the finer details sport fencing just looks like two people who are both dead, since the first thought most people have who know nothing of it is: "what difference does it make if someone had RoW or struck faster, they both just got struck?". The main exception is parry specialists, like the hungarian medalist, these are guys who can be appreciated by casual observers because they tend to get very obviously clear hits that look visually impressive on the replay.

[@iggyt6666]

I'm actually enjoying this a lot. It gets very intense towards the middle.

[@knighty6y744]

I don't get why a lot of comments are like "this is completely unrealistic sword fighting" or "this requires no skill " and I get it isnt realistic sword fighting but one it's just a sport and I practice hema and I have no problem with sport fencing in fact I find it interesting because it's different . fencing dirived from foil dueling which was a Duel to first blood. The other comments like this requires no skill .it does require skill its just not the skill used in a real sword fight but nonetheless it require skill. I just don't get why we all can't get along wether we come either from hema,sport fencing or somewhere in the middle

[@PuertoRicanStyL]

I remember reading a Bruce Lee book with him saying he added the footwork of fencing into his fighting style because they had the quickest forward step that covered the most distance, while also maintaining a centered balance.

This is the very first time that I saw fencing but as I went through the video with an open mind, I somehow understood how it works and saw how difficult it is. Korea DAEBAK!

[@mkhinkulova]

@Carlee do you know what right of way is then

[@nadododang2582]

mkhinkulova prob not but do t be rude just explain it instead of calling out someone who was genuinely interested you might deter them from wanting to fence

[@mutediamond_5639]

[@johnkang2000]

To people disappointed by this game, watch epee. Saber, despite having the heaviest weapon, is the fastest and most aggressive style of fencing. Epee has stricter right of way that enforces more defensive plays.

[@NitroEagle]

this is wrong in so many ways lol, sabre has the lightest weapon out of the 3 with epee being the heaviest. Also, epee has absolutely no right of way, the defensiveness is just strategy.

[@franklinxu2946]

NitroEagle I doubt Sabre is lightest. Foil is lighter I believe. Epee is the heaviest though.

[@NitroEagle]

Franklin Xu Id believe that tbh, i wasnt sure which was heavier but i knew epee was heaviest bc im an epee fencer lol

Got to hand it to the Koreans, nobody in Korea knows much about this sport and is not popular, yet they get lots of medals in fencing. Congratulations and hope this brings more support from the people and the nation~

[@BritishFoodGuide]

This footwork and stance was taken and used in Jeet Kune Do. Only thing different is they raise the back foot for more spring forward. And turned the front one in slightly for stability. They call it the Bai Jong stance or On Guard. The move is push-shuffle and pendulum step.

[@derekakaderek]

@@MattClippers because it's done in another sport it's valid? they're competitors. They're hoping the veracity of their celebration somehow affects the outcome. In EVERY sport the players will attempt to sway the judges. It's annoying to watch, it's not going to sway the judges who are using technology to make the calls. literally like children.

[@MattClippers]

@@derekakaderek you obviously never played a sport in a higher level than the soccer game at recess. Getting a point feels good at it’s not childish to celebrate
