Hi is it possible to get the beginner guide and the the Progress list

Why is ur bellgaurd so small or am I just tripping

What about wrestling shoes?

may I get the progress sheet in pdf Version

Thank you, a million!

The bending of the sword was cringe worthy

After 40 years of fencing, I've discovered Babolat badminton shoes. They are wonderful: rounded heel, traction, great support and relatively light. Also good for surviving those epee toe touches. And cool looking.

INCREDIBLE EXPLANATION, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Greetings from Argentina!

Excellent footwork training session. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

it' seems to be very useful video, but i can't hear a thing - the sound is very quiet.

Ok

I recently invested in a pair of volleyball shoes and, though I hadn’t seen this video with the specifics in mind (the advice I’d been told was look for something like an indoor sports court shoe w/lateral movement stability/support) it ended up being a good fit for most of the points mentioned! It doesn’t have a rounded heel but it does have a grippy base, relatively thin sole, strong heel cup, and lightweight but stable uppers. It helped I was able to try on a few pairs to find ones that fit my orthotics (as the comment above mentions, sizing can be tricky with those), and I found swapping out the laces to a flat rather than rounded style helped to get a tighter/more secure lacing up. I’ve found it’s helpful to tie a knot at the end of the lace near the aglet, as then you can pull/loosen the laces easily further down the shoe & not have to worry about rethreading up your shoelace when you accidentally pull it out. Plus loosening/tightening the shoelace lower allows you to pull the entire lace more securely when putting them on, which is handy! Great video, learned a lot from it, thank you!

I bought en epee and the grip was hammered on and now I'd like to change the pad but I can't get it off. What's the best way to remove it?

That's a cool idea attacking the ball under different angles. Thank you, coach.

Is there a minimum and maximum weights set by FIE for a french grip pommel? THANKS

interesting idea..re bending the blade using the end of the wrench... i have seen this before in later videos but not really thought about it as much i guess... til now.. I have always used the slide it under your foot method (usually using a towel wrapped around the blade between the shoe and the ground...) and before being the blade at all warm the blade up a little bit before ei try being it - i don't know if the small amount of heat makes any difference but it appears to as i have seen many people just try to bend the blade back straight with their hands (and snap the blade often) when it is cold ... i don't know... i will have to try this method next time a blade gets an interesting bend (i have been using the foot method successfully for over 30 years and all types of fencing blades... and many times many over the years having been club armoured at a few different clubs over time.....)

Excellent footwork training session. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. 👌🤺

These kind of videos with drills have been very useful for me. Thanks. Keep up with the good job.

Thanks. You gave me some precious insights. I took a lot of notes.

I'm one of the weirdos that actually likes the standard french grip that comes with the order. I love the lightest blade possible and pair that typically with a PBT ultra light bell guard and a FOLO F1.

Great video and super helpful, thank you!

thanks Coach McTigue.. good and interesting to watch....

Informative, but a stronger microphone is needed or turn up the volume.

Where can I get more of the curved schermasport grips? They don't seem to be available any longer :( Which is closer to the schermasport? Karma or harut pistol system?

Thank you for posting these videos!

Great presentation. Content and delivery are spot-on. Thank you.

A little trick I use to add more grip to metal pommels is to use a piece of a 700c bicycle inner tube cut to about the length of the pommel and installed with some soapy water and elbow grease. It lasts a lot longer than tape and has more tack to it. An inner tube will run you about $5 and can do a single pommel probably about 20 times over.

Fantastic! I didn't know many of these pommels existed! More things to try at the next ROC / NAC. Thanks for putting this together!

Thanks for the video, really helpful!! A friend and me decided to switch to french grip few months ago. We bought two grips mentioned in the video, the Karma from The fencing Post and the Mamba from Harut. Although the shipping costs were pretty high (we live in Spain 😅) we love the handles and we learned a lot with this video 👌🏻.

Nice and informative video !

Could you share the stretching exercise series/video link, please?

great stuff

Awesome !

Does it also work to do finger curls with a weight?

Excellent overview - nice job. Minor comments: It's a ga-bar-it, not a gar-a-bit. The Leon Paul tungsten "World's Finest Pommel" is no longer available, because the price of tungsten nearly tripled, and it would have to have sold for around $150

Great points, no disagreements here. Just like last time a few additions. Plastic core grips, due to how much they flex, put a lot more stress on the tang of the weapon, making the weapon a lot more likely to snap at the tang in your hand. This is especially true with the cheaper non FIE blades but true for all weapons. It is entertaining however, to go for a flick or heavy balde action and have the entire weapon fall apart looney toons style. I think if the stories I heard are true Coach reith literally took the cores of old PBT grips and put the tubing over them, so for those who like the coach reith grip and can't find more as they're out of production, that's probably the closest bet in terms of curvature. It's also worth noting that the ultralight guards that are typically 78-90 grams and thinner titanium get bashed up and take on that angle much faster than the one piece titanium guards which are significantly more durable and usually 100-120g. Most 3 piece guards are more likely to deform than 3 piece generally but especially the very light 3 piece ones. Titanium is also stronger than aluminum generally so it's almost always worth the extra ~$4 for a titanium grip of the same weight as the aluminum variety. Finally one potential upside to a metal pommel vs a rubber one is that if the pommel is metal and your grip is also metal core AND the core of the grip makes contact with the guard through the pad (this is common in older pads that have started to wear) then your pommel will ground out a touch if hit just like the bell guard. This is especially relevant to those who have smaller hands so they don't fully cover the pommel or fence at a half post or no post with the pommel sticking out behind their hand. Now is getting hit in the pommel extremely unlikely? Yes absolutely. But we're french grippers. Arguing over and pushing tiny margins is what we do :)

3. First three zeppelins take off then 1/8 of the globe passes and one zeppelins gives fuel to fill the tank to the other two and heads back, then at 1/4 the one zeppelin gives enough to fill the others tank and turns around, when our brave solo zeppelin is at k another zeppelin takes of and meets him at the 3/4 mark and transfer half his fuel when they, then the third zeppelin takes of and meets both of them at the 7/8 mark and and gives them both just enough fuel to get back safely

Really helpful. Thanks.

Great video, agree wholeheartedly with everything that was said! Couple of small additions mostly for the other viewers of this video: the red adidas shoe shown at the beginning is an adipower not a d'artagnan. The adipowers have been entirely out of production for years now except for one limited edition reprint at the wuxi world champs in 2018. Outside of those there have not been real asymmetric fencing shoes with the raised inner wall for quite some time. Also of note: Adidas stepped out of the fencing industry entirely a number of years ago so if you are looking into adidas fencing shoes either try on and buy a couple pairs that fit you quickly or don't bother even looking into them in general. Worth mentioning as well for those that DO roll their back foot when they lunge (again its better not to, but if you must): many fencing shoes and good fencing shoe alternatives have reinforcement on the side of the shoe next to where the ball of your foot is. Without that reinforcement you can easily wear a hole there and could be ruining an otherwise good pair of shoes. If you have this habit remember to look for that extra thickness/reinforcement at that spot. You can see an example of this on the PBT shoe where it is a grey leather strip with a tiny bit of wear in exactly the correct spot just over Coach Michael's index finger at 1:24 . Another example is the nike air zooms' sole extends up the side of the foot into that spot as well. Rolling of the foot this way is extremely common in tennis players so those shoes would be a good place to start. Finally the ONLY time you should ever go a half size up for shoes is to accommodate your own aftermarket or custom orthotic/insole. Many people will buy something like a sofsole gel insole or have custom orthotics for medical reasons. Typically those are thicker and can crowd your toes in the toe box/forefoot of the shoe. If at all possible bring those insoles with you when your try shoes on. As a personal recommendation just because it wasn't explicitly mentioned but alluded to: squash is very similar to badminton and racquetball so those are also a good alternative. I found salming to be a great brand there, but on average a bit pricey.

nice video, cody!!

good for these days.

Useful all exercise thank you sir for information

The video has a few little bumps in the stream. If you have questions do not hesitate to ask in the comments 👍

I foresee this one joining the previous 'jumps and crunches' challenge in regular rotation for me. Love how hard it hits. Thanks!

There is a slight mistake in the first « kick series » 😭 Make sure you kick the back foot before retreating 😉

Great workout Cody! Especially liked the inchworms down the blade and the burpies were a good cardio add on.

Who can spot my mistake in my series??😅 Free drink or snack for the first one to find out...

Great range of motion exercises as many of us are sore/tight in these areas because of fencing or our sedentary lifestyle. Definitely cramped up a couple of times during this. Great workout, thanks Cody!
