| Now here's a question: Does he have ROW?
Because his arm is still bent way back, and from the looks of it the blade hasn't started moving forward yet... | |

| Haha, I love that picture.
I believe(not sure) that that is Roderick Meagher, pretty good fencer and also coach at RPI in new york.
As far as his having right of way or not, look at the other fencer and tell me if it matters 
I made a post in the fencing discussion forum just a minute ago(dont remember what thread) about bent arm attacks like that. Check it out

| SuperSabreMan and gravity have come to a special agreement. . . Gravity tends to just look away when SSM, needs to do flying flunges!!

| The more I look at this picture the more I think it looks like something from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The guy looks like he is flying in from the other side of the room. | |

| He's Super Saber Man. He doesn't answer to such petty questions as, "how is it physically possible?" | |
