i think, you cant understand the pointfighting it looks like the fencing touch is point, dont need such old titles as focus, balance, etc modern, fast, spectacular like the olimpyc fencing
its sill how people cant open there mind to something new...not just two hillbillys beating the shit out of one another (MMA) i could watch that in a back yard
My... uhm... point is that here in Europe, where I have compeeted, touch is not point. Touch is touch. A good technique which is stopped before it does damage, that is a point. In fencing touch it not a point either. It is not enough to just slap your oponent with the side of the blade. You must stab him in such a way that it would have done damage if the blade had been poiinted and rigid. Enough of this. If you all keep missing my point I might as well not respond.
You read with your mind closed. That was not what i ment. In my view point sparing is a valid enough form of competition. I trained Shotokan and then Seibukan for 4 years before entering full contact and that gave speed and focus. However... in order to "score" you needed to perform good techniques and not just jump into someones face and touch them. In my opinion this video demonstrates poor techniques and no focus.

Silly how points are given for techinques performed off balance and with no strength.
