Great video, but I think it could have been better if you featured more of Foconi’s signature under the arm low flank flicks.

[@OlympicFoil]

You are deffo right, the vid was a bit rushed 😅

[@OlympicFoil]

most devastating 0:19 imo

[@jordanscardboardcrafts2206]

Great video, amazing flicks👌

[@dogestranding5047]

0:43 seems like such a crazy angle to hit from

[@OlympicFoil]

yeah the hit on shin is very impressive 😀
such a counterintuitive hit since you amost have to flick upside down, but very cool. Nobody else really goes for that angle except maybe Cheung a bit, which is a shame since lit looks great😅

[@lastbot7383]

Wow shin Philip almost had Foconi 😱

[@OlympicFoil]

Yeah that bout's crazy, Shin had a 12 -5 lead on Foconi then it all went sideways 😬

U watch jjba?

[@OlympicFoil]

Actually I never watched it, I just now the oh you're approaching me meme

[@dwimusudem7943]

Will these techniques work in an actual sword fight

[@journeysfencingclub]

Yes, a flick to the eyeball with a sharp tipped blade will instantly leave you with one eyeball left

[@robertnomok9750]

No. Sport fencing has barely anytihing to do with actual fencing. Their goal is to just touch sensor one milisecond earlier than their opponent.
