The beauty of foil 🎉🎉
at the short hop, how would safin know to make space without giving up priority to mepstead at the end of the strip?
how does he create the stopping illusion by shifting his weight? does he lean back or bends his back nee deeper?
this is good, but show the whole clip in full speed at the beginning plz
Very helpful video, thank you so much!
whats the music
Good analysis, vamos Llava!
saying "slowing down" is misleading. more like making small steps of equal speed.
It is slowing down though. Speed is the amount of distance per time. Since less distance is covered, the speed is less, no? I'm assuming you're arguing that he's making the same number of steps per time.
@@showwhite7320 i get what you're saying. just as a fencer myself it confuses me lol
Hello, this is a very good video, i like it! Just a question, what's this song called? it motivates me, perhaps i can listen to it when warming up in training. Thank you!
I love this intense game of chicken
thank you... Make videos like this again ya!
you are really good this! thank you
Really need more analysis videos! Sometimes fencing training focuses too much on repetitive action and not enough understanding and theory
Very good Analysis. Pls make it more. 😊🤺
This kind of minute break-down is REALLY helpful for understanding fencing (which is such a fast and subtle sport). Thanks!
ive always admired safin and his attacks are always so beautiful but i never really looked into it in this much detail
Wow, what a nice video, very clear and helpful, hope you make more soon!
really accurate and helpful analysis. Thank you so much !
Pls make more videos,they’re so good
One of the best match analyses I've seen! Thanks!
Your slow-mo analyses are so great!
That really was a beautiful disengage.
Not having the legs as a target makes it really different from epee
I wonder what Siess could've done to regain some control. I have also had trouble with opponents getting up in my face like this, it's rough.
Nice break down, I’ve gotta say though, I’ve never understood of celebrating every hit like it’s some amazing accomplishment. I feel it’s much more intimidating when your opponent hits you and immediately gets ready without fan fare as though hitting you isn’t a big deal because I’m just going to do it again.
Thx for this
The most detailed and clear analyst i’ve ever seen! One last thing to suggest is that maybe it would be more comfortable if the period of the words came longer
These are some good vids, hope you come back soon king👑.
I loved this video, this is great! Could you do one for joppich or ota? (Since they’re shorter)
Damnnnnn analysis is really deep here love it
I always knew Kruse is a big guy, but look how much bigger his hand is than the guard. What an absolute unit.
I liked the format of the Meinhardt analysis. With the captions on the right and left. Also I’d really want to see some analysis of the foil bouts from the Olympics!
Thanks for the feedback! I would love to do some bouts from the Olympics too. Unfortunately they will run into copyright issues. My two recent videos on the final hit of both Men's and Women's individual foil got blocked because of it :(
The FIE, probably at the request of the IOC,is shutting Olympic 2020 videos down. It's all about squeezing those last dollars out no matter how it affects the fan base.
Cheung Ka Long definitely started his attack earlier but I really think those types of actions should be called simultaneous.
Interesting point, why do you think it should be called simultaneous?
Is German player a racist? Shame on you german player.
Well done Cheung! xxxxxxx

Hopefully in time there will be more! 😁
Love Safin's attacks 😃
Yeah so explosive and clean 💣👍
Great vid thanks, do you believe most of this is conscious or unconscious during the fight?
That's a good question. I believe it is always a mix: the fencers would surely have a clear understanding of the general overarching game-plan going into the bout, especially since at this high level, fencers and coaches would study their opponents in great detail. In between the points, the fencers would also have a chance to consciously decide on their next action. However, any improvisation during the action itself, such as deciding whether or not to commit into a stop-hit after a deep feint, has to come from feeling and instincts cultivated through years of training and competitive experience.
@@championsforgefencing6695 thanks for the reply, what do you think their thought process would be? Would it be more general tactics such as "attack and see what happens" or more detailed such as "my last hit was a beat attack, so he will be expecting that so change to direct attack"? I heard something once that some fencers have an initial plan then go into "reaction fencing" once it fails during that phrase
@@R4G1NG I honestly would not know for sure haha. But my thought on this is that most of the top level fencers would neither 'just attack and see' nor think too much about the exact action like 'last time was a beat attack so now change to direct attack". Because of the amount of training and experience they have, these fencers already know what actions work best for themselves in certain situations, and they also know what actions to change to if their actions fail. So they just need to focus on feeling the distance and timing in the bout. Occasionally you see them purposely taking a longer pause either by changing blade or tying shoelaces, that when you know they are consciously thinking about what actions to make in order to get out of a tough spot.
