When Vincent Anstett pulled off a sneaky move against Luigi Samele

"you drop something"
"Drop what?"
"Your guard"

[EthanDyTioco]

it would have been nice filmed in landscape mode - especially for fencing which has a lot of horizontal movement

[stevep]

It's a classic, there was a video of another fencer doing this a long time ago, I didn't know Anstett had repeated it.

The classic “your shoe’s untied” maneuver!

[flemes]

"Thou foot ware's tatting seems to have unraveled, my dear foe"
*looks down*
"Hark, you have been hoodwinked"

[StormWolf]

In a real duel, that would be a sad way to die.

[kadthejedi]

I see he's fallen for one of the classic blunders

[PEACEOUTPAT]

I think fencing would be the most popular sport on the planet if all fencers sabres had personalized LED lights

[bravo_johnnny]

I love how he instantly took his helmet off

[squirrelknight]

Ah I see. He used the looney toons approach. Fascinating.

"Ah, yes! The true gentlemen's sport"

Ive done something like this once in epee!
Practice night, told a beginner his shoe was untied, when he looked down I fleche and scored.
It started to become a bit of a running joke.

[yaaarightt]

Ive been building fences for a while and never seen nothing like this

[FencingDatabase]

Anstett is fencing like he's an epeeist lmao he and Heinzer should switch weapons

[timearly]

Like a boxer saying, "Your shoe is untied!"

[thedirtypenguin]

As a ref, I can’t help but point out that I don’t know a single ref who wouldn’t call that disorderly fencing and give a yellow card. Pretty damn funny though

[joejoelesh]

So I get that this is a joke hit between friends, but in any other situation I'd call it poor sportsmanship.

[esgrimaxativa]

Old trick. Once, I saw the defending fencer point back and confuse the attacker and then steal the right of way.
