Gerek?😂

I watched this video about a month ago and thought "I could do that". I've now gone to 2 fencing practices and realized no, I can't.

[@dogestranding5047]

Wouldn’t be so interesting if we could do all that right away.

[@HiamZepplin]

"Just a bunch of waving my primary arm around. What could go wrong?"

[@Aryangaming66799]

Bro it take time I too play as well as I am national player

[@graemehill5998]

These guys are seriously bonkers. !!

[@donaldbadowski290]

Check out all the touches the French got by attacking, getting parried and then stepping in close to remise.

[@jameskloss6832]

They knew that the Americans prep slot off their parry. It's smart not lucky.

[@benc3638]

Thats mainly le pechoux's specialty cause he's small and lefty, and I would say luck is a big part considering he only really hit a few of them successfully over the course of many tries if you watch the entire match

[@genericcommenter1267]

Olympic fencing is definitely not for people who don't usually play or watch the sport. When you get to this level there's so many little bits of technique done in fractions of seconds that it just looks incomprehensible to the untrained eye. This is especially the case in sabre fencing because the target area is larger and you can hit with the edge.

[@micro-babe]

Oh my God I was watching the gold medal match for men's saber with my fiance and I kept having to pause to explain the action.

[@TenNineD]

As someone who has no idea how fencing works it looks super funny then wobbling around the swords

[@shrek2342]

Can you try to make these longer please?

[@Niko-du8gt]

How

[@Mark-ju7yn]

why are the swords so......wigely

[@moXnoX1]

they are quite firm actually, but top level fencers are strong and skilled enough to make it bend to get around the blade..

[@TheMegaPingasMobile]

@@moXnoX1 maybe the heaviest ones are but you an clearly see these blades are bended even when not moving

[@moXnoX1]

@@TheMegaPingasMobile no i do not see bend without move. I have a foil, and newbies usually even cannot fix it even when it stuck bent after hard hit.

[@somekid7867]

its for a specific action that requires a very soft blade, or at least is a lot easy with one. theres also the factor that the blade being super light weight makes it a lot more wigely

[@ericdew2021]

If the blades are too stiff, people could get killed.

[@annaoh6382]

I feel like Miles is really good in teams and that he should still be in major team events like this

[@kazz9849]

Replacing who though?

[@annaoh6382]

No offense but Nick, they do better with miles

[@kazz9849]

Sean Saw oh yeah I guess, but nick is higher in USA ranking so it’s probably solely based on that? I’m not sure but I doubt Miles will do tokyo

[@annaoh6382]

Nick is good individual but not in 5 point bouts compared to Miles. Miles has a good strategy for 5 points and I feel like he is never nervous in teams and Nick is

[@kazz9849]

Sean Saw oh yeah

Hi

[@RaevenKS]

Sorry... I came here because I thought I could see technics but... Where is the technic in waving metal stick ? ?

[@panagiotiskapellos969]

Get the fuck out of here!Show some respect to the sport asshole

[@moXnoX1]

you cannot see technics because you're lame in fencing)

[@TheMegaPingasMobile]

What the fuck did you excpect? What you're saying now is that no melee weapon requires technique, yet you still explicitly came here to see some

[@bryanramosacosta5129]

Le Journal d'un Rebelle of course you’re gonna get hate for this but show some more intelligence on your part there are many moves that take place in such a little time and that isn’t as easy as you think

[@yulfahrioramdhani2022]

you have zero respect for something you might not be able to do

[@lvl2bidoof]

Watching roombas with knives seems to be more entertaining.
