And then Imré eliminated Grumier again a year later at the 2016 Olympic Games. Grumier was denied a world title and a likely Olympic gold medal by this Hungarian in his 40s.
He kept advancing too soon, his timing started to become repetitive - making it predictable for opponent when to expect his attack. I tend to make the same mistake, which totally ruins my score that I used to have advantage.
It's a different meaning in fencing terminology. "Senior" fencer is someone who is not a teen. It goes literally after "Y14" (14 years old or younger) fencers. There are "Veteran" fencers category, who are past 40 years old.
I remember watching fencing when i was a kid. There was much more slashing and perrying. I guess because there were no sensors you had to go for bigger blows.
Has anybody ever been hit in the bare none sword hand fencing épée before? That hasn’t happened to me and I’ve been fencing épée 5 years long than foil! XD
When you aim for the legs, you pull your head and upperbody forward of your own legs. This makes you vulnerable. As you see in this match, Patrick Joergensen goes for the feet quite often. IT is a risky move, but something kind of unexpected. But to answer your question; their style are wellforged towards protecting the Whole body, IT is easier and quicker to aim at your opponents body.
What would be the point of not allowing it though? A good game is one that has the least rules but still works. Bring too many rules into a game and you inevitably create a "meta" play style. Create a game with a goal and no rules and if it isn´t broken it´s beautiful. Epee is only beautiful because there are no rules like the right of way or allowed hits in foil or sabre fencing.
It's very easy, almost instinctive, to kick your legs back and throw your weight forward. When someone goes for your leg they tend to expose themselves ALOT. The exception is pinking someone's kneecap (which is safe to do if they're retreating in a orderly fashion) or going for the foot (but you'd better take your shot and recover quickly). Truth be told i was never much of a leg guy, scored maybe 50 leg touches ever and mostly on people who opened themselves up to it. Against many folks it's suicide.
For some reason I cannot quite discern, I don't enjoy watching a righties and lefties opposing. Also, designs on face masks can be extremely distracting. /
I feel like right and left comment is a bit exaggerated. Fencing is a fast paced sport that uses SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT (ahem swords) I dont claim to be a huge fencing fan but the sport reminds me of fighting videogame tournaments. It's almost the same when it comes to spectating.
Actually that bouncing is quite common in epee. It was originally developed by Johan harmenberg, a national champion. It's supposed to help in changing direction quickly
Against Grumier who is a patient fencer, he is trying to keep him occupied all the time. Grumier is good at building situations but if he keeps moving all the time and pressuring him, he makes sure he himself is in controll of the situation. Altough this seems like he is doing it overextensively.
I really enjoyed watching the game. If I want to point one thing about Grumier’s winning is that he is playing in a calm way he counts every step and know exactly what to do, unlike Jorgensen he moves too much with unsteady steps. He seemd to show off his skills and splurge on. Good game!
Jorgensen has a very active approach and he wanted to create possibilities to hit and control the tempo and distance of the match. Grumier on the other hand waited for Jorgensen to make a mistake and make an unprepared attack or alternatively attack while Jorgensen is preparing an attack. I guess you dont fence but still pretty good analysing.
1.25укол - попал в 4 защиту-перевод в1 соединение - укол (как оверхенд передней). 2.50 вход в соединение с горизонтальный клином, ниже чем у оппонента-на батман сверху(наиболее вероятный если его клинок выше) - перевод с уколом в свод стопы. 3.38 взял захват во второе соединение и при уколе недостаточно быстро скользил клином вдоль его клинка чтоб взять сильной частью. Тот просто колол вперёд и продвинув свою сильную часть и уколол и отвёл клинок захватчика. 4.49 батман во второе соед, укол в руку.
I find it extremely entertaining. Movie fencing is certainly impressive to look at but of course wouldn't be close to sport fencing because it's full of unecessary moves. Both have their qualities, and are not comparable.
Oh. You mean after the touches. You see, the blade is very, very flexible (especially the ones the good people use), so if you bend it the wrong way, it could break. So they have to bend it the right way. It could also potentially make the weapon lighter.
To make sure the handguard part of the blade is properly grounded, meaning it will not register a point if touched by the opponent's tip of their blade.
@@jeykk quite the opposite the blades need to be stiffer the better you get because quicker and stronger actions are required, and if they dont bend it the right way it is dangerous and painful.
he went to bhfc. I've fenced some of their kids at a competetion. They're not really good. Edit: you may think i'm an adult, but i'm actually just a kid posting this
There's one twenty minutes from me but my dad doesn't wanna drive me there once a week. I personally don't think I'm asking much but my parents rarely wanna drive me places. 😒😡
Thrust into the back of the wrist, before sliding past. It's hard to see because of the camera angle. Due to the quickness of the point being registered, and the camera angle, it looks more like an edge than a point. However, the point caught on the wrist first.
pure2060 grumier went to my club because his father worked there but he didn’t let me have private lessons with him because i was inexpericed, even though i can beat most of the people there.
