>lolololol your opponent looked like he attacked first so he gets the point
I dont think this spaghetti slurping sport is for me
AMERICAN BUTTHURT HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>amerisilvers
AMERICANS BTFO
Were litterally the best country
Epee > Saber > Foil
LOL I INTENDED TO HIT YOU FIRST BUT I MISSED SO I WIN ANYWAY LOL
Foil>>>>>>>>>epee=sabre
sorry kid.
teleports behind.
LET IT FLOW
>i only know how handegg works
...
He's right you know. Olympic Fencing sucks. HEMA is superior in every conceivable way.
It's actually french, but i guess the rules are to complexes for an american.
>thrust your arm straight out without thinking
>get parried and hit
>lose gold medal
>get butthurt
when will americans learn how to fence?
Epee>Foil>>>>>>>Sabre
A 1 second exchange followed by both lights on followed by both competitors screaming and the ref giving one side a point or resetting is not fun to watch
Sports the USA doesn't win gold in are basically non-sports to be honest.
only basketball is a sport
>he doesn't understand fairly simple sporting rules
>check flag
not surprised
Can't hear you over all this gold Italy is winning
and yet they play the rulebook fuckfest known as murican handegg
i really don't know how americans work
You're literally the 6th best country
>get parried and hit
nigga he got "parried" straight into the fucking chest of his opponent everytime
It's just tag with car antennas
>watching literallly Reddit: The """""""""""Sport""""""""'"
Can someone explain Euopeans to me?
that's the way the sport works
pic related, it's you
>foil is too complicated for burgers
maybe if your fraternities would start fencing in between drinking breaks instead of raping other students more people would get it
is this sport still practiced with real swords somewhere? someone needs to be prepared to die in a sword fight and this semen slurping version isn't for me
You are either
>a redneck who likes the even bigger rule clusterfuck called CFL
or
>a pooinloo who likes the needlessly convoluted "sport" of cricket
fucking hypocrite
>Can someone explain Euopeans to me?
Yes. We have more medals than you.
German fraternities sometimes do it. In earlier days you could spot radical conservatives by "schmiss" which were fencing cuts artificially kept from healing right.
You have to go back
Did the gold medal match already happen? I quit watching after the American dude beat the Brit cuz it looked like the Brit got cheated out of too many points even though he was hitting the American first
>Euopeans
Americans, everyone
I'll go back if you can beat me in foil.
No country that was founded after the 17th century should know how to fence 2bh
Getting silver is an accomplishment seeing as how our country was founded during the era that people realized that fighting with swords was fucking retarded
t b h it's pretty racist that they don't let us fence with bayonets why do they want to oppress americans
...
>flicking your opponent with the foil counts as a hit
whats the fucking point of this pansy ass sport then? Why can't they duel with long swords or something?
Stuff I want to see:
Open circle like every combat sport
Make the saber a bit heftier
Entire body is target area
I don't know if there should be priority though.
>make it an entirely different sport
epee has full body target area and no priority rules
you'd probably like it
Italy was founded in the 19th century you moron
Fencing should be a death sport 2bh.
the only person who understands is the coach, he basically orders the players around like mindless chess pieces. all they have to know is to either run or throw a ball.
the fans just stand around mindlessly clapping which comes easily to Americans who willingly clap at anything in front of them
Right?
Those fags wouldn't last a second in a real duel.
This is why I wish Kendo was an Olympic sport, points are awarded by 3 judges and only a solid, well executed strike to a target area counts. Fencing is so wishy-washy and the lightest tap sets off the sensor.
The only let down of Kendo is that the only target areas are the head, torso and wrist (and sometimes the throat but it's rare to see).
>no katana category
>Tokyo 2020
ONE JOB!
**dips fedora**
Nah, I fence foil already so I'm trying to discern if refereeing a saber bout with priority in a 3d space is feasible.
I don't know shit about kendo. But is there a problem with passivity in bouts? Epee is usually boring to watch because of it
Italy was founded after USA
>coaches are white
>players are black
It's a white guy ordering around loads of black people. Basic slavery in action, no wonder americans love it
We didn't abandon the bayonet until after the Korean War, are you retarded?
You'd be surprised that fedoras and weebs are very rare in Kendo, sure they sign up because they want to be an epic samurai, but they drop it after a couple of weeks once they realise it requires a lot of effort, dedication, blisters sweat and that it also doesn't make you a swordsman at all. It's a sport with the ethos of a martial art.
It depends, Kendo can be really stand offish but at the same time it's a best of 3 points bout, usually once somebody has the 1st point it becomes much more aggressive.
take that back
foil >> epee >>>>>>>>>>>>>> sabre
Fuck off cunt.
Sabre>epee>>>>foil
I'm guessing America didn't win gold
>pour tar
>on turf
Stop talking as if Rome wasn't a country you fascist
