First blood was usually enough to settle a matter, but not always. I was a tournament fencer from 1978 to 1995 and on the US National circuit in the 80s. I started with foil but mastered all three weapons. I did a lot of epee after 1988. These are epees with sharp tips. This duel looks just like a modern epee match where the light and buzzer go off when one scores. Modern fencing is a replication of the traditional duel and by the late 19th century, this is what a duel looked like. However, there was a saber duel in France around 1900 where the loser completely lost his head!
I can confirm that while specifically banned under the UCMJ, duelling has been known to occur during Marine Corps Balls. Apparently alcohol, egos, and readily available swords can lead to words being spoken. Most times more sober heads prevail and it devolves into a fist fight, but I know of three individuals who have gone to the hospital that way.
@jameswells554 I know of a duel that occurred in 1978 in Sonoma in Sonoma County, CA between two college fencer. They used sharpened fencing sabers. One knew how to use his point and pierced his opponent's forearm up to the elbow.
С уважением, и так далее. Парень в рубашке был красив, мужик в очках профессионален. Парень размахивал клинком более амплитудно, его оружие часто и надолго отклонялось от средней линии. Мужик в очках уверенно держал центр, его оружие в защите отклонялось строго в пределах необходимости. Оба использовали провоцирующие удары по клинку, парень при этом часто терял равновесие и контроль средней линии. У парня не было шансов, мужику в очках уважение.

Chalais is lucky he only got a minor wound to the forearm. Rozier was clearly focused first and foremost on a clean defense. When in range he stayed on point with minimal movement of the arm compared to Chalais who took to swinging a bat. Rozier bid his time and when Chalais was assisted offline with his own point Rozier closed just enough to land a hit then partially opened the distance again to avoid any immediate reprisal. Watch the economy of Rozier's movements vs the frantic and exaggerated ones of Chalais. Rozier knew immediately this was a matter of keeping himself safe until his opponent's wild motions opened him to a hit which was safe for Rozier.
It is much more dangerous than some might think. These fine blades can penetrate the body with amazing ease. First blood can mean you are not among the living, or if you still are, not for long
In 1949 there was no sound engineer. There was a camera man, and a sound man. The two were recorded separately and marred together at the film lab. Many many many things were filmed without a sound man there to record sound, as would have been the case in this film.
@@divinusmaximus1315 Nope. Its how it was. My dear departed father was a film camera man for CBC his entire career..... and I spent many days with him and his sound man on different shoots.
@@GrogHambone Okay okay okay.... :) But I hope that you are aware of the fact that my first comment was a sarcastic joke...? :)) And I know about all the things you write here ... :))
It looks like it's up to him, he shakes his head like: "Yeah, I consider I've had enough!"... As soon as blood shows its color he's allowed to express that he feels going further would be too risky, his opponent looked steadier and more confident.
I remember François Chalais. He was a journalist and used to cover the movie Festival of Cannes. I was young, but i remember having watched him on tv. He had a particular voice and way of speaking. But though he was old , he was class and still good looking. As far as i recall, he was a ladies man. The beautiful lady at the beginning of this footage, was probably one of his girls friends...
What you are talking about is perhaps how kid’s box, where each are just swinging at each other. Professional boxers for the most part, protect there face or body with their gloves, arms or shoulder. When a pro throws a punch, the opponent will block or deflect it. And in the same way, an arm stretched out means the head is not protected. The biggest difference is in boxing, fighters move left or right, and fencers move front or back. Fencer’s stance maximizes the trusting distance, which ends up as a lunge.
Lo único que demostraban estos duelos es que uno fue mejor que el otro.. Pero no demuestra si era o no inocente de las injurias o acusaciones por la cual fueron al duelo..
It wouldn't stop anyone from mouthing off. People have no etiquette these days or genuine concern or respect for their opponent whether they are mouthing off or not. Respect and compassion are just as essential before the fight as after by opponents. Whether one deserves it or not. Want dueling? Bring back being a genuine Gentleman, first. In my opinion anyway.
From the pre fight it looked very much like the man in the glasses was the most vexed, and looked the most confident. I got the impression the other guy would have been happier to say "look let's forget about all this eh old chap?" Or the French equivalent. Proved true as the glasses 🕶 wins and other fellow seems happy to call it a day. I'd like to know what led to the whole thing 🤔
Cool that the experienced one who wins are wearing shades, protecting his eyes :) and the one who maybe already knows he won't win, is wearing white, so any blood is seen easily and he can stop fighting and avoid serious injury :) both are wise I guess
I believe there was a fencing match some years ago with protective vests and tips on the epees. Apparently the tip on one of the epees came off unnoticed and the epee penetrated the other fencer’s vest and killed him.
Yes, around 1980. The blade broke near the tip, leaving a sharp ragged end. The bout is supposed to stop immediately, but when it occurs in the same action of the thrust, for example beat (opponent's blade) thrust. Where the beat causes the tip to break, and the trust continues without the protection of the tip. The tip in an electric epee looks like the head of a 16d nail, or the blunt end of a pencil. We would each break about 3 blades/ year. After this accident, the spandex jacket/pants used in competitions were forbidden and they went back to cotton. I still have my spandex outfit when I competed from that time.
@@fernandoromero9906 Since no one can be bothered to read the description... "Rozier challenged Chalais to the duel after brooding for months over the critic's assertion that a certain actress' "career was behind her."
Epee wouldn’t be my choice. Sabers would be my first choice. If dueling is allowed today, with the firm rule that forbids professional duelers who stand in for one of the men, there will be fewer cowardly trolls insulting another man on social media and in person, because the troll knows that the moment he insults another without provocation, he better back it up with his life.
This was a duel to "first blood," i.e. a REAL FIGHT! "First blood" could mean being stabbed in the arm, as happened in this case, or it could mean being stabbed through the heart.
First blood anywhere on the body. 1. The back of the hand is the most likely target, as it is closest, but if you can keep it behind the bell, then the wrist/ forearm is next closest. (Just looking at how each held their arm, I could predict the winner). 2. After that, the forearm or leg easily hit. 3. Parry six leads (high and outward) leads to shoulder, head shots. 4. Parry four/ bind leads to stomach shots. 5. Foot is just as far away as head shot, but is a smaller target. The non weapon hand is the hardest to reach, unless you are facing a beginner. Any touch will cause blood, pain, or possibly death.
@@fredsalfaThat would be considered ungentlemanly and a violation of The Code Of Duello. Thus subjecting who does such a thing to criminal prosecution or retribution. Notice the referee has a sword as well. If something like that were to occur, he's expected to block it and/or put down or subdue whoever has decided to dishonor themselves in such an act.
But...but.....but.......her honour. What about the honour of some woman that was apparently insulted months previously? Lol, it's fucking crazy isn't it? I hope that film director got his hole after this. Also, if I was the critic, I would double down and slag her off again in the next review.
@@dimesonhiseyes9134 Wrong...in the 1700's most Smallsword duels were to either death or one or both of the combatants were unable to continue. First blood duels came about in the 19th century!
Not always. It depends on the point being settled and the natures of the combatants. There's supposed to be a process to the whole insult/challenge/choice of weapons, etc. but I did not see that addressed here. I would personally hate to be in a fight where you don't stop when someone has had enough. That's how you get Indigo Montoya.
Biden verses Trump LOL one would fall asleep before the start the other you couldn’t stop him telling everybody he was the great swords man and duelist that ever lived, he would of course turn up with a ten foot sword so Biden couldn’t jab him, Biden seconds would have to keep him from tripping over and forgetting where was. LOL
I went to an English public school (private boarding for you Yanks) where we were taught to box. Sadly the 'gentlemanly' ways of settling a dispute have disappeared mostly, although I recently got into a dispute with a gyppo over his bad parking blocking me in outside Halfords, I was pleasantly surprised to discover he was an honourable cove and we exchanged blows in a civilised manner. It was a draw. He moved his van.
i was a boser myself for many years. i made it on a team while in the army and almost made it to the olympics for the US. but not to be. i lost during training in colorado. i unfortunetly developed a healthy heroin addiction by this time and brought me low. ruined everything for me for several years. butback in those days in my weight class the competion was very good. guys named Roy Jones Jr. for example. anyways dont do drugs kids
Yes. Deuling was very regulated and hat pretty strict rules of protocol. The duelists would appoint seconds. The seconds would negotiate and try to come to some sort of amicable arrangement that did not require deuling. Barring that they would negotiate time, weapon, duration, and nature of the duel. When dueling the judge was an agreed upon neutral party that was there to ensure everything was handled in an agreed upon manner. The second is there to defend the first man in case of violation and act as aid and witness. A surgeon was often on site to administer aid immediately when requested or required.
The arbiter on the side, wearing hat and branding an epee too! Was him ready to hit one of them if deemed necessary? If he did, duel would be considered finished satisfactorily? 😅😅😂😂
