Sergei Golubitsky Golden Bouts Video

This video comes very, very, very close to what you'd expect it to be. The creators made one bone-head mistake -- they assumed that the primary purpose of this video is to present 3 great fencing bouts. WRONG. These are three of the greatest foil bouts in the last 10 years; lots of people have seen them.



The primary purpose of the video should have been to highlight Golubitsky's tactical and fencing mind... which it does, sort of... but it leaves you wanting more. If you haven't seen Golubitsky's 3 Gold-medal bouts, this is the perfect package for them. Infinitely rewatchable... my favorite is the first bout against Kim. Golubitsky and his opponents make athletes from other sports look like 60 year old janitors (e.g., slow).



I'm somewhat affiliated with Fencing Footage, so take this last thing with a grain of salt if you wish. This video makes a good gift, either to a salle, or to a fencer who hasn't started (or doesn't see the value of) a video fencing library. Its value is immediately apparent. It's one of those, "if you only buy one fencing video this year, buy this one" sort of things.
