YES!!!!! Parry everything!!!! to hell with bouncing up and down the strip just shut'em down with parry ripostes!!! I want more of these sweeping primes.
What does the "L" stand for in your part of the world? In N America "L" is not commonly used. We usu. use Final (A1), Semi-Finals (B1 & B2), Qtr Finals (C) etc. I have been fencing, organising and reffing fencing since 1965...
This guy has to ingest any mind-altering drugs... He's performing the parries virtually as the opponents initiative movement takes place It's a mystery how a human neuronetwork could even perceive the input that fast. Well, lets keep pushing beyond the limits and see where it leads us 10 years down the road.
Obviously Aron has a good eye and situational awareness for what his opponent is doing as well. The Koreans are known for their speed and pretty insane (from a coaches' perspective) lunges, but not so much their feints. Aron is picking up on that early. And his attack in prep, parry after, you will see that he waits on his opponent to bring their blade to 3 position before making his move. Kim obviously thought he had at least one more advance he could or should make before lunging.
The Koreans are not angry or frustrated when they loose and they are always respectful to their opponents.
I wouldn't have expected Kim to get blown away like that. All credit to Szilagyi.
2:22 look at Szilagyi's precision as he waits to counterattack Kim's rushed attack. Phenomenal distancing tactics
Same at 4:44. So precise

This wasn't a bout, it was a clinic. A dissection.
Szilagyi is so good.
Not a chance

@Sydney Sabre:
What does the "L" in "L2" mean?
It was the finals. L4 would be semis (the round of 4), L8 quarter finals, etc.
@ sam signorelli
Why not just R-16, R-8, R4, Finals?
KISS?
L16, L8, etc are just as simple.

I have never seen A1 for finals, or other ways you describe it, even at US Nationals. Usually it's either L something or the Round of something.
That’s some good sabre ! 🤺

Parries are hard but they don't require like insane reaction time.
Technique , distance , timing
Exactly.
