Had a great time in France, done a few interviews. Working on something special which hopefully will come out once this season is over. Big thanks to @Fencing Brothers for helping make this happen.

I wondered what had happened to him. He shows a tremendous reserve of character. I’ll miss seeing him on the strip, but I’m glad he’s found a new path.

[@sabelfechter7136]

Honestly we should go to a middleground between the old and new timing!
Feels super imbalanced currently, the moment someone is on defense, you know hes most likely gonna loose.
Its so ironic we even call attack into preperation after the box "counterattack".
If someone is doing steps forward without attacking yet ITS NOT AN ATTACK, its a preperation, so its not a counterattack, its attack into preperation.
On a long preperation, one currently has the time to *react* to that and basically counterattack into it but with priority. Which is seen regulary because it works on current timing and judging.
A middleground timing should really be tested by the FIE.

What an interview and what a story. Thank you for this. I hope to see more.

Thanks for a great interview. I once trained with a bunch of French masters (50 years ago), they were a fun group to work with.

[@speedskater1947]

Is it really fencing anymore ? They should call it lunge and stab.

[@rickpetersen41]

Fencing sucks!
