Compilation Video

[CyrusofChaos]

i was watching a few videos trying to find similarities and differences between counterattacks of a certain fencer between his bouts and thought this would be so much easier if i put them all together in one video. i thought maybe you guys might benefit from something like this, like a whole bunch of dumitrescu attacks, or a whole bunch of pillet parries to help figure out the timing and distance of them, etc. i wanted to try one and see how much you guys liked it so i wanted to ask what you all wanted the first video i try should be. post your suggestions here and fight amongst yourselves and i will let you know what i decide to do

Montano's attacks

[Catseye]

Whoever has some good counter attacks, since it'd be a good reference for people who need to work on their reffing, i.e. me.

Or a Lopez compilation cause he's cute.
I'm may be willing to bear your children for that one.

[CyrusofChaos]

well lopez is my favorite so i definitely have enough footage to compile his counterattacks, and even though i am not a huge fan of italian fencing i definitely have enough to compile his attacks because he tends to do well. anyone else want to make a suggestion?

[Craig]

That's a good idea. Start out with the counterattacks since you've already got that in your head.

I'd actually like to see a bunch of how Ota closes the distance and works those touches in foil.

Definitely Tagliarol's footwork preparations if you were to do one for men's epee. Thanks a million for everything you've done to boost the amount of quality [and free] fencing videos available online!

[CyrusofChaos]

i should have been more specific in that i wanted to do one for sabre, i dont think i have enough of any one epee or foil fencer for it to be worth it. its true that i have all of the olympic footage from my site, but seeing how someone fences in one tournament tells you very little about them. i will work on two videos: one of lopezs counterattacks and one of montanos attacks. i will post them here when i am done. suggestions would still be appreciated, because if you guys like these then i will do some more based on what you want

[Relampago]

I realize I'm late on the draw here, but I just want to throw the idea out there:

I'd like to see a comparison between Igoe (USA), Buikevich (BLR) and Limbach (GER) - that or content on any one of them.

All tall guys with long arms who are posting solid results - how do their counterattacks, parries, distance actions, and marches/attacks compare? Would be interesting.

[CyrusofChaos]

the video is done. sorry for the delay, finding and compiling the footage takes quite a while, especially when you are working 8 hours a day and have friends staying with you. i will get started on the video of montanos trample/stampede attack

[Coldfire]

Great job Andrew! Can't wait to see the next one.

[Peach]

Fascinating. The only thing I'd like to see more of is when it doesn't work, which would give a better idea of how he makes it happen--the one example looked as if his distance was just too close.

I'll watch this a few times. Thanks so much for making it!

CyrusOfChaos, the video shows up as private for me. Could you send me invite to watch?

Thanks

ps. also thanks for putting all those fencing videos up!

same.....

[jdavies]

Private for me also. Can you make it public?

[Inquartata]

Huh. I watched it last night without issue, now it's "private".

I'm curious why you say that his arm seldom goes up when he countercuts, but rather just back---then show a clip of him doing a classic skyhook with his arm going way, way up?

[Mihail]

Andrew, I'm not sure you know what a stop-cut means.

Funky music, though. I like it.

[whtouche]

Not that it would be particularly instructive/useful for us humans, but I think a compilation of keeth smart's long attacks would be groovy.

[CyrusofChaos]

there was a problem with the previous video so i removed it and here is the correct version. sorry for those of you who tried to look at the video and it said it wasnt there

Really enjoyable,
I've much better understanding of his direction control triggered by the quick reversal of the center of gravity's movement.
