Olympic Fencing is MUCH Harder than I Thought

I tried out the Olympic Fencing style called “Foil”!

that was really nice of him to do that script with you, Seth. he must be really passionate about foil.

Vince seems like a total class act. This didn’t lose anything by being dubbed, the fact that you are rolling with the punches and doing your best makes it completely watchable and entertaining. Must have been really sucky to do, but really glad you didn’t abandon this video!

I love the dubbing! I find it's and amazing display of creativity and passion on your part to keep making these videos despite your setbacks. Keep it up man !

Vince is a legend for taking the time to dub audio with you afterwards.

Seth I know the video was scuffed but as a long time viewer and even longer fencer I would like to say thank you for showcasing our wonderful sport. I was very exiting to see you try your best in such a niche community.

Fencing really helped my martial arts sparring. A guy who was better than me noticed it immediately.
Also helped me out a street situation. Had a guy throw a punch at me during a "discussion". I saw his shoulder cock, ducked and swayed under the punch and retreated backwards about 5 yards. Given we had an audience and this guy had just swung at fresh air and was probably feeling rather foolish he just walked off.

Loved this! Even with the dubbed audio, it's still a classic Sensei Seth video. I laughed, I cried, and I learned. Okay, so I didn't actually cry, but still . . . I appreciate Seth's willingness to try any form of martial arts or weapons adjacent combat. We recently saw that Sumo ended up being instrumental in getting the silver medal in the Ultimate Self Defense Challenge for Seth, so who's to say that fencing won't be extremely helpful in future competitions?

As someone who also does fencing, your fencing stance is the most karate thing i've ever seen

[ElDrHouse]

Your idea to use a dub to recover the lost audio was honestly genius. Happens man, happens. Totally felt your pain there. But bad situations require creative solutions & you did it.

Way to push through a bad situation. It turned out funny as hell! Good job Man, way to adapt and overcome!

One of the best simplified explanations of Right of Way I've seen yet

Maybe next up is to try some historical Italian rapier fighting and see the major differences? Which dips your toes back into HEMA

Fencing, eh? Interesting, I actually learned a quite good information about Fencing from this video. I wonder if you'll do other martial arts that use sword too, like Kendo

[jeffmaesar]

Fencing is one of those sports that got massive coverage during the Olympic Summer Games, and every orders or judgement are in French, love Épée competition over foil or saber.

It was at this moment that Seth had become the new Zorro

[Buphido]

Fencing is one of those things that you don’t immediately think of when talking about "martial arts", but it technically still is one. I guess so is archery. Huh.

[Herdy]

Honestly, love how you handled this situation. Awesome of the other guy to be willing to do the voice over with you as well. Very fun and light hearted! 😂

[adjd]

In all seriousness, even considering the audio issue, this is the most thoughtful, sincere, and well put together fencing introduction video I've seen to date. Coming from an assistant coach at a fencing club in Tulsa, you'd make a pretty good fencer and I think you should stick with it. Great job, man, two thumbs up

[psibert]

I'm a national level foil coach in the UK. Really good video and great improvisation to overcome the technical problems.

If you have only done one day of epee and that one foil session, then your fencing was really good.

Looks like a great club and a very approachable coach, but please, no electric foil in shorts!!

[Wreckz_Tea]

Everything Seth does looks so freaking awesome it always makes me want to go do it too after I watch his videos. I'm so jealous that he gets to do all this cool stuff for a living. Literally a dream life for me
