thank you for posting this video. it reminded me exactly why i quit fencing. phew; and i was starting to get nostalgic too. sabre fencing sucks! no actions, no semblance to real sword fighting....just a bunch of guys in silver suits playing tag with a metal stick! what a shame...

o yea, did i mention the incessant arguing? worst part of it all.

thank you for posting this video. it made me remember exactly why i quit fencing. sad to say, but sabre fencing sucks! no actions, no force to the cuts, no semblance to real sword fighting, and worst of all, the incessant arguing as to who had their arm bent 10 degrees! such a lovely sport too, but now just a bunch of guys in silver suits playing tag with metal sticks. fix sabre fencing people! bring back the sensor or something! no way a touch on the wrist should count as a point!

if you don't like sport fencing, you should try historic fencing or SCA. probably more up to your liking.
