Highlights as Italy win the Men's Fencing Team Foil Gold against Japan during the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Fencing was included for the first time at the 1896 Games in Athens, and has remained on the Olympic programme since then. The women's fencing competition entered the Games in 1924 in Paris. Today, men and women compete in individual and team events, in which three types of weapon are used: foil, epee and sabre. The foil was, at first, the only weapon used by women, until the 1996 Games in Atlanta, when women's epee was introduced. Women's sabre appeared for the first time on the Olympic programme in Athens in 2004.

Been watching fencing for like 3 hours... and I've determined that my eyes are not quick enough for this sport. LOL.
To be fair, you are watching it at 24/30 frames per second, on perhaps a slow hz monitor.
ME TOO
Now try judging it... It's AGONY!
Just kept watching bouts and your eyes will adjust
Itâs easier watching it in person, close up and without the limit of fps
This is such a beautiful sport.
same
@@itzjuztme144 bro, what? đ
@@orcbid4709 he forgor
Seems a bit silly to me. There's no real swordplay just bouncing lunging and poking
You have to try fencing its soo nice â@@marshallmackey8990
1:19:18 I've seen this match nearly a dozen times, and that exchange still leaves me speechless.
Leave it to Yuki Ota to deliver an anime-like fencing moment.
It was the only real display of swordplay I seen in the whole competition. My brain tells me that I want to like the sport of fensing but my eyes tell me it's just men bouncing around trying to poke the other one first. I would much prefer the elegance of real swordplay
@@marshallmackey8990 Epee is going to be a lot closer to actual swordfights, especially if you're not at the level of Olympic athletes.
This is such a beautiful, elegant, precise and extremely fast paced sport
Flicky stick go skrrt
@@samhart4427 till ya get ya privates turned to mush it's pretty great
Or till you get a new person who decides to using a saber hilt as a boxing glove
@@shaunisdumb35 I like my matches like I like my comments... Historical ;)
@@samhart4427ânother pretentious HEMAist spotted
It's amazing how high-tech this sport is, it's like watching a laser game. I've never seen anything like it
will get more views if you write japan vs italy men's foil olympic final in title and not spoil the result
@@shreddedtwopack6625 That's a wild statement, when it comes to sport it's not quite correct
@@shreddedtwopack6625 Nah man don't worry, it wasn't offensive or anything!
I've been playing and watching this sport for two years and I'm still so amazed on how they play
You must be a champion NOW
For those who don't know it yet: fencing is the Italian martial art.
*French
Actually it's very debatable.
mastermizbot *Itelian
It is french. It's from LudvigXIV's court
+Anton Italian,during the Renaissance if not even before
Two great nations and cultures, but still Italy prevails.
At least Japan weren't traitors.
@@NoobGamer-ix2mr Jesus that escalated quickly
@@NoobGamer-ix2mr japan have only anime and samurai in their culture... italy is the best country in the world for history,food, and people
@@amg9878 Yea, let's pretend that japan does not have an amazing history and even better food.
@@KermXe Italy had so much longer and detailed history with hundreds of populations and cultures in, and the food of Italy we all know is the best in the world, Japanese is so good to but Italy is the best, Italy had SO MUCH dishes, and so much different and beautiful food of 5000 year of culture and populations... đ
It is nice to be part of something special and it was beautiful to see them win the Men's Fencing Team Foil. :D:D:D
I'm watching this holding my silver medal from my first Western Australia senior foil team comp
good job oh wait that was a year ago lol
Nice! I've only competed once in Foil, but I got a silver then... But I'm only 13.
I really like this, my girlfriend is a very talented and passionate fencer and I have to admit there are times where I really struggle to see why she is so interested in it but there is a poetry in the movements of the fencers. It's aggressive and beautiful and passionate and I now see why she loves it so much.
8 years later, you still with her?
â@@copper_blud4272 lol probably not!!
The Foil of Fencing is essentially the modern version of the French Court sword, which became the fashionable duelling sword of choice in that era. Foil teaches priority, in that it teaches you to respect your opponents attack - ie to parry and riposte. Epee, while termed the duelling sword removes priority, but if you did your Foil training you have learned to respect an opponents blade and will avoid being hit. Foil and Epee were safe training stages in training for sharps.
Re-watching this bout for the billionth time because it is just so awesome!
There's some game we can remenber of, but thid one one, and the individual final foil's (men) one of the Olympic's of 2004 are still the best
I wish on the replays they had some sort of red circle or something showing where the person was hit. Sometimes it's not so easy to tell.
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner watch epee, that's slower than foil
Rainer Bruehl no! Im a Professional epee fencer !! Its not slower !
@@arik2550 its wayyyyy slower, I fence with foil it's faster, no hate.
Ea Hansen no it isnt in my opinion at least
LeopardAxt 155 As a foilist, we can agree on one single thing; at least weâre not saberists đ
Ota constantly jumps around like a video game character lmao
Cassara is such a good fencer! wow.
GO ITALY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
goosepumbs!! go ITALY!
Finally the answer to samurai VS Roman legionarie

Avola advances beginning with his back foot when approaching distance. A good comparison of his two styles is at 30:00.
amazing sport, I would love to practice it
In love with the first two seconds lol
I agree. It was the initiation of a compound attack with the first beat by Ota and subsequent touch.
It is adorable how they do little fist pumps after every hit.
Whoa these guys are crazy good! Joining in on the discussion earlier on, my club charges 200 dollars for 3 months of tuition, and they have classes 5 nights a week (including wednesday, which is just bouting, no instruction)
Genial todo el partido, un deporte sumamente emocionante.
IoFaust Haces esgrima?Yo hago hace 2 años
Just started fencing myselve. Really exited to learn, and hopefully get good some day.
Practice 1hr everyday and try not to lose 15-0 on your first DE like I did. Good Luck!
italy won the gold medal for archery and fencing.....Congrats
Its actually that Chida disengages around the blade so he had right of way. After touch came the parry and touch by Cassara so the call was good seeming how it is difficult to tell on whether or not that Chida after the disengage was doing a reprise or not. Since in reality it may look like a straight disengage attaque, but since it almost looks as if he did a reprise, there is difficulty.
21:11 I had someone ask me once if the duck was legal. From the commentary, it seems that the only question in legality is whether or not the head is tilted to display unprotected target to the opponent.
Gotta love that exchange at 1:19:20
Im just starting
fencing and this is awesome
Now how is it?
That parry riposte flick at 10:38 is so clean...
I like how Avola's shoes really stand out XD
wow amazing
ahhh...do not get bored!!
the coaches in perfect sync at 16:06 LMFAO
coolest match ever
i really don't know why but "Nobody Else" by Dusky played over this bout is actually pretty awesome!
i love fencing
I met him before at my fencing place he autograghed my gloveđ
Who?
Yeah, that decision completely boggles the mind. Even if he did jumped off the piste, that was AFTER the touch and no infractions are readily seen. Perfectly valid counter attack.
hmmmm
nice game..
i love fencing
FENOMENI.
awesome
hopefully ill be on the olympics some day
I love how Baldini slowed down Ota.
Fencing begins at 3:28.
It's so disappointing that at high level bouts in Finals, there are always so much miscalls and directing that directly impacts on the options of the fencers. This could have been a much more interested match.
No in this case it does matter - it looks like Baldini's first riposte over the back fails, which means priority goes back to chida, who scores. It should have been Chida's hit, since Baldini's first riposte failed to land, and he didn't take a second parry.
semoga italy menang dan dapat juara piala emas london
Well... it IS after halt. The Halt was a split second right before the hit. Maybe you can argue that the Ref isn't very consistent in calling halts.
1:03 someone please tell me the name of that amazing song seriously I can't get enough of it!
Hamad Althani "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin, off their Physical Graffiti (1975) album. Note that what you hear in this video isn't the original song itself; it's a remixed arrangement, probably to avoid licensing fees
Dave Hooper It's the David Garret version from his Rock Symphonies album
this is madness!
Fencing is a great sport! My daughter plays it and she loves it. If you didnât know fencing is one of the least dangerous sports, but they use foils which are sword like. đł
Refer to the technical rules
t.10. The PIL position ... fencerâs sword arm is kept straight and the point of his weapon continually threatens his opponentâs valid target...
t.56. 3b) If the attack is initiated when the opponent is âpoint in lineâ (cf. t.10), the attacker must, first, deflect the opponentâs blade...
Also Casara did not start a compound attack. No feint.
t.56. b)The compound attack (cf. t.8.1) is ... when the arm is
straightened in the presentation of the first feint...
Oh... and this one too.
t. 56. 2d) Actions, simple or compound, steps or feints which are executed with a bent arm, are not considered as attacks but as preparations, laying themselves open to the initiation of the offensive or defensive/offensive action of the opponent (cf. t.8.1/3).
Casara tends not to lunge and keeps his blade close to himself. It is in the grey area of attack or preparation debate but it is good that referees are calling these hits whereas a decade ago it's never valid.
Fencing is not, and never has been "sword-fighting". Flexible blades have their drawbacks, they offer less control to the fencer, but it is easier to flick, or do a coupé. A stiffer blade has drawbacks as well, it can be more difficult to flick etc..., but it is also offers more control with your disengaging.
whats the background music lmao?
It means that the fencer hit the other, but not in the metallic vest area that is valid target area. Basically the attack is off target.
Fencing evolved from the Use of the Rapier. Which was used primarily as a piercing weapon.
Fencing was just the practice of it. Which over time as swords were phased out Fencing became a recreational sport or Martial Art.
I am pretty sure anyway.
that's what i figured :P
thanks for the info
:D
The Kashmir entrance tho
BALLLLLLDOOOOO
Is it the video or my internet which consistently lags JUST before a point is scored, meaning I miss it? >:(
YAAAAASSSSSS ITALY!!!!!!!
So many blown calls here. 4 by my count. 2 on Chida, 1 on Mazuki and 1 for Ota.
Mafia vs Yakuza
***** Bahahahha đ
+JoinMeInDeathBaby Lol. you crazy.
Samurai vs Knight.
Poor mind!
â@@k2a722 *romans vs samurais! đ
Baldini was shafted in 08. Glad he got a W here.
9:53 looks like baldini is flipping off miyake or the cameraman lol
Wheres Nicola lu min???? Hes really gd..........I know him my dad and him r good friends........I wanna see him out there!!!! ;)
Some people thought it did against standard, and also, a lot of people were starting out with pistol, which made their technique very flawed.
Just after minute 41:00 what was the signal Baldini gave to the ref about. It looked like he was telling him to watch his opponent Chida. Anyone know what for?
+Tibo Smolders He signaled "1 moment" and then equipment-tested with Chida.
too true
What's the music at the start?
Requiem for a Dream I think
The Italian keeps opening up their mask lol
Japan is killin' it.
***** I posted it when they were winning.
+Legio XXI Rapax đ€ but they lost in the team foil bronze medal round to the US.
Legio XXI Rapax don't get me wrong bro, Italy rules fencing lol
yea they killed themselves
especially in foil, italy is the best.
Rios OMG que buen JUEZ
01:19:20 is a lesson of foil.
5:12 al pacino is heeere !!! XD
maestro
All the directors sound the same :o
Foils are made to be flexible? if you want to look at a stiffer blade watch epee fencing??
I want to start fencing soon but covid has ruined that for me. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips for beginners ?
Focus on fundamental moves and ideas for the first bit, donât get to complicated and try to perfect your footwork as much as possible in the same time because it helps a lot down the road and good luck đđ»
@@totproductions2871 thank you!
Focus on perfecting en guarde and basic footworks first. Makes your life easier, I learnt that from the hard way
At 44 mins it appears to me that Chida got the first touch on Baldinis thigh before Baldini then got a touch on Chida - the call should have been off target - no dice. Some very odd calls in this entire match.
I'm confused, what does it mean when the lights turn white?
XPro32500 If it hits anyway but the metalic target area on the chest, then the game is paused, nobody scores a point, the two fencers walk back until if they straightened their arm then the other person's sword tip would not touch the other's, and when everyone is happy, they start playing again
EIN SPORT, DER MIR VIEL FREUDE BEREITETE.
it may look like that but if you see it in slowmo you can see they are doing some actual sword fighting techniques
Doesn't matter which came up first provided the lights both came up.
18:43 I didn't quite catch the parry from the Italians, it looked like a beat from the Japanese???
ALLEZ
How do you perry a straight thrust to your waist? or do you just have to retreat?
the easiest would be to retreat, or you could try to actually parry it in a way where it would slide just past your body
any examples? PS. Thanks for the reply :)
The type of parry used from an attack to your waist would be either Second, Octave or Septieme or Prieme.
As you only need to make contact with your opponents blade during a parry once you have clearly parried just riposte and if the point is lands on target, the point should be yours.
Michael Naulls if you can touch him...
Lol my name is Andrea I'm fencing CDs I just started today and I'm 11 lol
Foil best weapon
Japanese fencer is adorable.
Those four finalist nations looks a lot like WWII
As a foil fencer Italyâs second point should not count. Correct me if I am wrong but if you perry while still moving back you still do not have the right of way. A perry has to be a forward motion, and I watched it in 25% speed to be sure, and that perry was still followed by moving back
No he came off the party as he stopped IMO
