Fencing Lesson 

OK guys maybe should known that maître sicard is one of the master of the french national school. He has trained fencer like Flessel. The guy is F.Janvier a member of the french national team.

ya i think he is, the bell on the epee is supposed to keep your arm from being hit, but like that its an easy target : /

I make my beginning fencers wear full kit in lessons because I like to hit them if they don't parry properly. The advanced people can do lessons in t-shirts.

I so badly wanna do fencing lol looks pretty hectic XD

-As a coach you get given a rating from 1-5 (In GBR anyway) and If you are 5 in al 3 weapons you re a proffessor of fencing. -That is not the kind of lesson that anyone here (except me :P) would ever get. This isn't cos it's complicated but because it is fast. Benoit is an excellent fencer. I am a foilist but recognise good fencingI am going to be in the British Youth Championshipd for all three weapons very soon :P.

Epee.

@indy2512 Dangerous is when you fence vs novices who have improper technique and no accuracy.

lol, sicard's footwork is pretty bad yea XD and they're not wearing proper clothing and i haven't even started fencing

omg lol i love the people critiquing one of the greatest French Fencers alive... please, keep what you learned in your three hour class to yourself when talking about a professional

I give lessons with my adult athletes in thier shorts and t-shirt. I got taught by this method too and as long had control of the blade and distant it worked fine. I always enjoy fencing coaches at work, you can learn so much.

@Jyc41789 Not really his wrist is bent down a little. Makes changing distance easy while staying on target

This Benoit fellow looks very young.. he should be some 28 years old, if this video was made the same year as posted.. looks much younger

@masterofcola only if you dont parry or the other guy doesn't hit properly :)

that tang has an insane down bend

I don't like this.
