The second part of the move "Sunshine" was in part based on his life. The fencing master is Italo Santelli, father of George Santelli

Köszi.

This is an excellent historical resource --an entire mini-lesson-- for that old fashioned long-arm style that was so popular in the first part of the 20th century. Note the horizontal bladework and minimal footwork.

Many viewers remark on how much less footwork they see in some of these films. I, for myself note that many are stage for the camera... cameras which have much less mobility than our current cameras, so some of this may be simply to stay within the frame. A second thought is that many of these occur while the practice of the duel is current. Dueling is done outdoors on terrain which may be questionable at best. Footwork for its own sake, without an immediate pragmatic need was likely not indulged in too often. By way of example, look the feet, especially rear feet, of the fencers on the right in the following video kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZYR-pKSTicScYZs.html

@@schlager7 I agree that some of it is for the camera. But you also see it in the competitions. I seem to remember when I was first starting out some if the older teachers talking about how people used to think it was a disgrace to give ground. And yet, you see it in the Hollywood movies of the period!

@@schlager7 I thought the same thing. In my youth I took or watched many lessons from three old school Hungarian masters, and the lessons were always more mobile. George Santelli, Odin Neiderkirshner, and Bela Von Csayagy at NYU

Can someone translate what it being said/shouted? Is it Hungarian or Italian?

Very often they use French (language of fencing): en guard, encore,... a time ai hear in Hungarian: Még egyszer: one more time! Maybe a time: láb, foot. We know about Santelli that he used a very funny Hungarianm so he never learned well Hungarian. Also he lived in Budapest 50 years (1896-1945). He was a very beloved and appreciated person. I teach Italian! :) but i don't hear an Italian word!

Thank you so much @zsoltzagoni3511. I have heard some coaches shout “Via!” when they want you to perform an action. Is it true that “Via” means “go” in Italian? If not, any idea where this comes from?
