The Rules of Sabre Fencing (Shown Visually)

#fencing #sabre #sabrefencing #sports #explained #sport #learning #explore #sword
Here some infos:
-Preperation = not comitting (mainly seen by not extending your arm)
-Parry = Blocking an opponents attack
-Attack in Preperation = Attacking into an enemies Preperation
-Counter Attack = Hitting without the right of way
-Right of Way (Shown with arrows under the fencers):
The fencer going forward(attacking) has the right of way until he does a mistake (e.g. missing an attack, getting parried, going backwards). Then the other fencer can overtake the right of way and the cycle continues. At the beginning, no fencer has the right of way until one does an attack.
I hope you enjoy, please leave a comment if you have questions! :)

Nice video, it helps to understand the rules, but at 10:14 the Egyptian goes from 13 to 14, I don’t understand the call, the Georgian attacks, continuous movement, hits, and is denied the point ? 🤔

[@AvgSabreGuy]

I have made a mistake at that point. Originally the referee called "counter-attack | attack". After the call Elsissy took a video replay, after which it was ruled that the Georgian didnt directly hit , but rather fell short first. That is because he finished his lunge before hitting the opponent. It is indicated by his forward foot being fully on the ground and him only moving his upper body forward. So the right call would be a Riposte by Elsissy. Hope this helps
