Korea Win Fencing Men's Sabre Team Gold - London 2012 Olympics 

Who all came here after watching twenty five twenty one😂😂😂

I'm a HEMA man, but this is actually quite entertaining. It's not "real swordsmanship," but it IS difficult, exacting, and I can see the discipline, athleticism, and skill needed to do it. Also, I love the passion of the Koreans.

I don't get why a lot of comments are like "this is completely unrealistic sword fighting" or "this requires no skill " and I get it isnt realistic sword fighting but one it's just a sport and I practice hema and I have no problem with sport fencing in fact I find it interesting because it's different . fencing dirived from foil dueling which was a Duel to first blood. The other comments like this requires no skill .it does require skill its just not the skill used in a real sword fight but nonetheless it require skill. I just don't get why we all can't get along wether we come either from hema,sport fencing or somewhere in the middle

This footwork and stance was taken and used in Jeet Kune Do. Only thing different is they raise the back foot for more spring forward. And turned the front one in slightly for stability. They call it the Bai Jong stance or On Guard. The move is push-shuffle and pendulum step.

Olympic Fencing and HEMA are purposefully different. The above sport requires fast, strategic thinking, athleticism and much physical conditioning along with meticulous care in regards to distance keeping and blade-work. It is not a degradation of HEMA or classical fencing; it is simply fencing gone in a different direction. Bottom line: It's a hell of a lot of fun, and it makes plenty of sense so long as you're willing to study and keep an open mind!

I dont understand how this sport really works but its cool to watch

Is it just me, or does the sound of the commentators sound too quiet.

Here bcs of na heedo!!! It's a really fast sportttt

Commenting "This isn't real swordfighting" on a video about fencing is like watching a video of an olympic tennis game and saying "This isn't real badminton."

I came here because of korean drama 2521 🥰 I miss Baek Yijin and Na Heedo 🥺😭

From a lot of these comments i feel like i'm in a minority of people who enjoyed this and completely understood what was going on.

Gotta love how everyone in the comment section is just bitching about not liking fencing.

I wish Daft Punk would make up with each other :(

i know we were all brought here by hee-do and yu-rim, hi guys HSHAHSHSHAHAHWHWHA

come after watch twenty five-twenty one

I can feel na heedo and go yurim when I saw this video

thanks to 2521 im interested in sports now 😭😭😭

Why spoil who wins in the title?

There are more comments talking about the hater's comments than actual hater comments

Im here watching this video after watched 2521 😂

The impact of 2521 in every fencing video I watched in yt

Not this coming up on my recommended after i watched twenty five twenty one

Do any of you people have any idea how sabre works? Its not "real" swordfighting. Its not meant to look appealing to those who don't understand it. Its a sport of incredible strength and speed, both mentally and physically. There are rules in sabre, specifically the right of way rules who determine who get the point (always favors the attacker). Its a sport, just like how boxers don't really try to kill each other, fencers fence to play the game, not to look flashy or land killing blows.

every round looks like a mutual strike to me

The fact that these men are opponents but yet they help each other when something goes wrong is just amazing. Great sportsmanship right here!

21:18 the dude said " its my decision." lol I like that guy

'I was first!' 'No, I was!' 'No I was first'

These comments have absolutely no respect for athletes competing in this sport

I know why youtube recommended this to you too🤣😂😂 youve watched too much 2521 content 😅

i cant find the comments that r complaining abt the vid LMAO

27:07 That's what you learn from playing too much Fiora

The South Korean Team has won the Gold medal again at the Tokyo olympics 2020 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Simply World Class, congrats South Korea, very much enjoyed watching your superb fencing skills☝☝☝

Time and time again, I am amazed on how people react when something (whether it be a sport or movie or anything else that people have a preconception about) doesn't meet their "standards". "Oh fencing's not realistic... dafaq their blades doing, they are so whippy?, why are they in straight lines, why not circular arenas?, why are they not defending, they would die in a real fight" And worst of all- "this requires no skill" Every sport has rules, and if you don't understand them, I suggest you learn them or move on rather than posting on a RU-vid comment thread about how this doesn't fulfill your preconceptions. Would like to make something clear also, This isn't Historical(classical) Fencing, just like how Archery evolved, so did Fencing. Fencing is a Modern sport, not historical. When I say Historical Fencing, I mean Fencing designed to kill and was used in warfare a centuries ago. If you want to watch Historical Fencing, well first off you can't (because people who were historical fencers in the truest sense of the word are all dead), you can watch the next closest thing with things like HEMA or things like Historical Fencing in plays, both of which are quite interesting to watch. Last note, please don't compare two sports up together and say one is better than the other. That is just blatant disrespect to both sports and people who state that are completely arrogant and narrow minded.

In my opinion its hard to follow but I do know there's alot, LIKE ALOT, of skill involved.

48:47 the same happiness when na heedo won too 😭😭😭😭😭

One of the amazing things I like about watching fencing is the insane speed makes me pause, rewind and watch it all over again just to see what the hell is going on. Plus, this makes excellent reference for dynamic figure studies! :D

The korean chants were amazing! Couldn't help but notice how supportive they were 🙈

Did I really just watch this for an hour?

Karena drama 2521 jdi tau olahraga ni 🤭 arena pertandingan aslinya seramai itu ya 🤺

13:26 might be my favorite fencing picture of all time.

i dont know much about fencing but these guys are so agile and quick on their feet i am immensely impressed

I live in a time of astronauts competing in fencing! What glory!

Comments be like: 50%: I watch movies/tv and know the Fire Emblem weapon triangle, so it’s up to me what is realistic 30%: I do fencing, why are you disrespecting the sport when you don’t know the historical context or rule system 10%: I watch HEMA videos so I am offended by this 10%: I actually do HEMA, and am confused but I either don’t care or am kind of interested

I....don't get it.

NA-HEE DO KO YU RIM!!!!!! KOREAN FENCING 25 21 HAHAHAHA KDRAMA PAMORE MGA BEH‼️❤️😩

Y’all literally only here cuz of that kdrama lol. I’m glad the sport is growing tho

The first referee looks like he did not want to be there.

I'm watching this because of 2521 :))

the r1 spam is real

i wanna be like naheedo

I see many people complaining about sabre, saying it is not realistic. If you want to see realistic watch epee. It is true that sabre is not realistic but if you know the game then you can appreciate what the fencers are doing. Sabre is not for everyone. If you dislike it that's good for you, simply switch off this video and watch something else.

@ 2:37 "ok guys, huddle up. Here is the team plan. we stab them in the face. ok? everyone understands the plan? good."

Here because of twenty five twenty one na hee do

Anyone from 2521?

All the dislikes are from salty Romanians and people who don't know fencing lmao

it took me 21 minutes and 33 seconds to realize that someone is commentating in the background

obviously people talk without knowing the discipline ... how stupid

no good sport is complete without a misunderstood english commentator

The speed at which this goes obviously makes the sport more difficult, but it also makes it kinda hard to watch.

The sport just come to my country and I joined it I now love it more then any sport! I planning on take my country to the next level, go team Botswana

If you've never fenced, don't comment on the sport. That would be like complete newcomers to chess commenting on whether chess is actually like real combat strategy: Of course it's not. And secondly, if people think it's all about speed, go look at some of the touches kim gets in the first matchup. He didn't just stumble backwards and get a lucky touch. He planned and baited everything out. These guys are inhuman both physically and mentally at this sport.

Until you see the repetition you realize that a lot happens in a second. It is sooo impressive!

7:18 flick of the wrist

Na hee do ko yu rim

Best. Match. Ever. Sheer exuberance. Love it.

Twenty five twinty one

Na Hee Do bring me here. Haha

just finished 2521 today

Yes, that is how it looks. In saber there almost no skill required to actually hit your opponent, but the timing, speed of footwork, and feel for distance must be perfect. There is no room for error, or you get hit. I guess you actually have to fence to appreciate the skill required, but believe me, there is a huge amount of it here.

Na Hee Do?

ok but their footwork is so clean

Turns out you dont really learn anything about fencing by watching an hour of fencing, still cool though

FINALLY I can see that flunge at 11:28 at full speed...the super slo-mo version just doesn't do it justice...too bad the Romanian was locked out.

All of these comments really disgust me. If this sport was as pointless as you think then why is on the olympics? If you want to watch a pointless sport you should try bowling

twenty five twenty one brought me here HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 😂

Me learning to fence after watching 2521

Kdrama 2022🤣

thanks to the kdrama 2125, im so very into fencing now.

I can remember first stepping inside my brother’s fencing studio and the first thing that went through my mind was “Haha beekeepers lol” but then I actually started to fence and yes, I do admit we look a bit silly but going out there and having someone charge at you full speed with a sword takes guts. This sport is super fun and even my brother, who has asthma, can fence and loves it. Saber was never aiming to be a replica of real sword fighting and thus it does look a bit different. I know we look funny and “it’s not real sword fighting” but that doesn’t mean that these people aren’t incredibly talented at what they do.

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ아무리 그래도 결승전인데... 선수들 이름 정도는 제대로 말해라 진짜 지들 마음대로 부르네

Bukan di situ pas pas tolong ambulans lewat lagih lewat lagi deh tuh salah salah jatohin ajah deh tuh pak pak

OMG I love Fencing Sabre... It's so fast.. It's full of energy

Here because of Na Hee Do from 25 21. I fell in love with this sport just by watching the drama.

To all the historical fencing and HEMA fans, including me, I know you don't like this and that's ok, but still these athletes worked their lives for this sport, so let us have some respect for that. I know, this is not sword fighting, because this is not a combat simulation, they don't even use real models of sabres like we do in HEMA, but that's because this sport is simply a different thing, so don't just rant about it and have some respect.

Na hee do make me Come 😭🤣🤣

kesini nyari bapaknya minchae?

The announcer said “Team Foil”?!?!? And he’s supposed to be an expert to comment?!? 😮😮😮

44:24 what was oh doing lol he's doing hot feet

Who's here after the South Korean team has won GOLD again at the Tokyo olympics 2020 ☝☝☝☝☝☝

Extremely good matches. Nice back and forth parries and rips.

I'm here because Na Hee Do 🤣

Na hee do

2521

korea won gold men's epee this year 2016

I'm actually enjoying this a lot. It gets very intense towards the middle.

2521

25 21 brought me here

i was watching a review on some og jordan 3s and got here

Here after 2020 win 💪🏼

I guess I have no right to judge people who like this or consider this a Olympic sport, but it's far from combat, just two people poking each other. It may take incredible skill but currently I don't enjoy it.
