2:50 The lesson here is that Jesse's reliance on aggression here caused the stumble - He launched himself into an over-committed "hail Mary" attack that ended with him backpedaling in the stumble. In CONTRAST, Kevin's calmer and more calculating style and cleaner footwork won this round. Launching yourself at your opponent in "hail Mary" attacks is a modern sport fencing artifact... if you were fighting with sharps, you wouldn't live long employing this kind of approach against experienced fencers.
a little tip: record at a higher shutter speed so when you pause on a frame the fencers are not distorted with motion blur and the swords are clearly seen. it costs $0 and helps a lot!

Great analysis, I've been doing it for a year now, how do you train agility? I've also been feeling slow in my arms (mostly used synthetic waster until a few weeks ago). Any suggestions for that too? Thanks
Love these long exchanges with lots of handwork, would be nice to see more of that in tournaments or at least on youtube PS Or just seeing people not tripping on their own legs when they have to quickly pull back tbh
cross training is kinda strange, not to put on my kinesiology training hat on, but overall even if there are very comparable skills between two activities, you still have to spend the time bridging the gap, and potentially unlearn stuff for different activities if it's not applicable. The brain is way too good at compartmentalizing different activities so although badminton might give you great footwork for badminton, you'd have to spend the time trying to apply it to fencing, and then additionally spend the time unlearning habits that wouldn't work well. So it can give you an advantage, but it also give some disadvantages as well.
@@HEMASimian So cross training might help with the raw attributes like strength or speed, but you would still need to train your body to apply those attributes properly for your sport and build the muscle memory.
@@flyingfox09 Muscle memory is fascinating that way. You get way too good at applying a movement to a certain context, so if you have to untrain something because it's not quite as applicable under a different context, it can take somewhere around 3x the amount of time to unlearn, and relearn the new movement. But some thing like general athleticism will always transfer over, except Cardio. Cardio is sport specific too, I've seen people who were able to run insane distances gas out after a few minutes of sparring. That being said, having some cardio from one sport will put you further ahead than someone who has no cardio in anything. Long story short it's complicated and there's a reason why athletic trainers are heavily educated and have a high price tag XD
@@HEMASimian yes, it is fascinating: I read that at one time during the Italian Renaissance the dancing master of noble families and rich merchants was often also their fencing master.
"From his football training" I didn't know what the fuck you were going to mean until you played him running back and forth. You could have put tires down and he still would have made it.
Hey all, I had to get a new mic so sorry if I was a little overblown here, still learning
No prob.! I have been using these videos to learn HEMA
This is great! More please!
Did not feel like the mike was an issue 👍

It's good seeing serious swordplay and acknowledging the physical attributes required that need training as well.
Thanks for the very detailed analysis. Your descriptions of the on-the-fly adjustments were very helpful. Please continue these analyses!
This is a very, very good analysis. One of the most clear and attentive I've seen. Thank you.
Thank you lots for the analysis !
Much love from France !
Merci :)
Really great analysis!
Thanks!
It's a shame this videos get so little views. Great analysis, would love to see more!

yeah, this was on an old video that I had to redownload so it wasn't the original footage, so definitely not as sharp or crisp as it could have been.

Great video and analysis. Thank you. Love your channel.
I LOVE these fight analysis videos.
Awesome anlysis Julien, well done!
This was AMAZING! Absolutely great!
Holy heck! Loved this analysis! I wish there was more in depth analysis like this lmao

@@stephena1196 there has historically been a huge relationship between Martial Arts and dance, absolutely.
Am I the onlyone who genuinly enjoys training footwork?
