LOL! Backflip will certainly give them a red card, or even black card - since it falls in category of turning your back to opponent during fight, which is serious violation.

Great video! There's some footage of old classes in there with fleches I hadn't seen before. I think the forward crossover was last permitted in 94 World champs. By world champs in 95 and 96 Olympic games in Atlanta it was gone already.

Many years ago, maybe around 2016ish i recalled seeing a clip of Matyas Szabo appearing to "lunge" by primarily pushing from both his front and back leg. I remember being baffled. Maybe I was just confused by the slow motion especially since i didn't know as much about sabre back then. Or he was doing some sort of mega lunge one time.

Are you sure it was Szabo? I also seem to remember Gu doing some sort of levitating lunge from around that time.

Scenes from the 1992 Olympics in this vid. I have the VHS tapes somewhere down in the depths of my basement. First time I saw them was maybe 1998, and I didn't start fencing till 1994. If you watch the footwork from that Olympics, you'll be shocked at how poor the footwork is compared to any time after, and these guys were the best in the world. There is no doubt about it, removing the forward crossover and fleche from sabre improved the footwork immensely. Why it was removed. I've heard two stories. First was that it was the last refuge of the old and overweight fencers who were not properly fleching, but simply crossing over and falling to hit. Second was that refs where pushing the fences way back behind the On Guard lines before calling Fence, because if both fencers where going to do this, they had a real tough time determining ROW. As for the Mega Flunge, the guys doing it look as if they are going to tear their tendons, muscles and ligaments to shreds before too long.

i heard it was a desperate attempt by the FIE to slow sabre down so they would get more spectators.... as i was fencing sabre at that time (a LOT) and hated the flunge as i fenced all three weapons and had top remember not to fleche in sabre as i did in foil and epee....

Aaaan when in the forms they strech out the other - empty - hand, it most probably represents grappling / wrestling. In hema competition / sparring it is allowed and historically suported, and looks very similar to chinese forms - just to give a little litght to some element which you may find very weird, while I don't. I wonder more what would you say about their weird footwork and broken timing in some lunges.

In the examples at the start of this video, each of them would have been been given to the defender had the actual rule as written on the fleche been applied. Rule 417.2 (page 59 of the AFA edition of 1981): "A fleche attack is correctly carried out: "- as a simple attack when the arm is straightened as the fleche is carried out and when the hit arrives at the latest before the the rear foot again touches the piste or as it does so. - as a compound attack when, with the arm straightening in the correct forming of the first feint, the hit arrives at the latest as the front foot again makes contact with the piste."

Got to put a James Williams flunge in if you can find an example. I think the first of these megas should have been annulled for hit made while falling, but it's not really called. Good analysis though, that big kickout is almost like the step phase of the triple jump, sort of hanging in the air and then throwing the front leg.

@krszam4112 Жыл бұрын
The problem with the fleche at sabre was referees not enforcing the rule that every cross-step after the first was preparation; in effect, the back foot landing in a fleche being the same as the front foot landing in the lunge. Instead they took a rule knocking around in lower level foil in the USA in the wake of the Smirnoff accident, and banned the fleche.

So what happens if a top saber fencer uses the crossover vs a flunger. Forget what is legal, who wins? The idea was to make fencing less pedantic, but flunging allows them to dive at each other anyway. So did they achieve anything, while they sidelined a real fencing move. Or is the flunge fun to watch, but functions as a restriction over the crossover, so for a non-martial art, it is a win win.

Let them run at each other - it's more the spirit and nature of the weapon anyway to charge at your opponent. I think you would get better results dropping right-of-way and forcing the fencers to actually respect their opponent's blade. Maybe even parry once in a while.
