Would it be possible to make a video to explain 'weird'/special en garde stances like Kim J's one? I know quite a few fencers have rather weird stances, mostly koreans
well....for my experience, stances like Kim J will sacrifice boost speed but increase mobility and stability. furthermore it's quite unique and make opponent uncomfortable especially taller than him.
You can see that Kim Junho does a jump push start from the front feet, instead of the norm which is heel up and step in. The other koreans also do a jump start sometimes but its still the concept of heel leading in. So if Kim junho wants to do that he will need to separate his feet and guard so he doesnt drive in his body too much. In terms of his back feet facing backwards i think its just because its what feels the best for him, i might give more pop (i dont see him push from his back feet when he start so not sure). I think the differences in koreans stances just comes from what kind of actions you do and what feels good and which guard is the fastest for you. Also if you notice back in 2015 and 2016 his guard was more like gu’s when he was training under Mr. Lee and doing the norm heel up and step in preparation i was talking about in the beginning. When he changed his start action, his guard changed according for optimal polymetrics and transitional changes.

It's not "mostly Koreans", it's Kim Junho. He wants to be unique.
His is just so low. Having a low center of gravity makes him even more explosive

Is there a video of Pakdaman Vs Szilagi that ended up 15-14?
So there's the main feed, which is cut into bits and frequently split-screened and made me cry too much to edit.
Sydney Sabre where can I find it? I couldn’t locate it which lead to a stream of expletives about the Spanish fencing federation lol
