As part of my Amazing Touches 2026 video, which was just published on YouTube, I asked you guys to vote on which touch this year was your favorite by liking posts on Instagram. At 14:00 on Friday the 30th the post with the most likes will win touch of the year. Feel free to like multiple videos! Yet another clip from Budapest, this time a backline parry by @will.morrill against this year's World Number 1 Seb Patrice. Even after he thought he missed Will kept going and only after realizing he had scored the touch fell to the ground giving us the iconic shot of him celebrating on his back with his hands in the air #escrime #fencing #cyrusofchaos #la2028 #sabre

I think like a quarter of my video this year was from this tournament. In this clip @antonioheathcock, one of the games best defenders, successful defends himself from a full strip, high speed attack from @shokupaan with amazing balance and a perfectly timed counterattack #escrime #fencing #cyrusofchaos #la2028 #sabre

The match between @will.morrill and @seb.patrice might be the best match of the whole season with several incredible moments. This insane back and forth, won by Seb, was one of them #escrime #fencing #cyrusofchaos #la2028 #sabre

At 14:00 on Friday the 30th the post with the most likes will win touch of the year. Feel free to like multiple videos! There were three insane backline touches from the final of World Championships between France and South Korea. This was the second touch in a row where @seb.patrice took an insane backline parry which made everyone lose their minds, including his teammate @maxime_pianfetti and his coach @vincentanstett, both of whom literally made a 😱 #escrime #fencing #cyrusofchaos #la2028 #sabre

This exchange between last year's world number 1 @jppatrice and the defending Olympic Champion @ohsu.o_o probably made me whoop louder than any other touch this year. After parrying him on the backline, Oh Sanguk even gave JP a high five #escrime #fencing #cyrusofchaos #la2028 #sabre

This touch, which was part of one of the best comebacks I've seen this year, was scored by @seb.patrice, current world number 1. After being down 33-40 he pulled an incredible 12-2 comeback against Japan's Kokubo Mao. It makes sense that you're seeing him a lot in these highlights, he had an absolutely incredible season #escrime #fencing #cyrusofchaos #la2028 #sabre

FIE SECRETARY GENERAL WARNS AGAINST WORLD FENCING LEAGUE EVENTS In response to the @worldfencingleague announcing a new event in Hong Kong in January, the FIE has issued a letter reminding athletes and officials of regulations restricting participation in competitions that have not received the necessary authorization. While the FIE has a legitimate responsibility to ensure competitions meet appropriate standards, this letter raises some serious questions 1. Should the FIE control where athletes compete? As stated in the letter, Article 1.2.6.b, fencers can be prohibited from participating in events not authorized by their national federations. But why should athletes be prevented from pursuing additional competitive opportunities, particularly those offering prize money? 2. Is the FIE protecting athletes or protecting its monopoly? The WFL is attempting to create new opportunities for professional fencing. The FIE cites safety, refereeing, athlete protection, and anti-doping, but identifies no specific deficiencies in the WFL’s proposed events. There is an important difference between enforcing safety standards and restricting competition 3. Why do athletes and officials have to report contact with the WFL? Perhaps the most concerning part of the letter is the request that commission and council members report any approach from the WFL to the FIE Secretary General. Why should contact with an independent fencing organization warrant reporting? Even if intended as administrative coordination, this could discourage cooperation 4. There is a better way forward Rather than issuing warnings, the FIE could establish transparent requirements for independent events to receive authorization, ensuring athlete safety while encouraging new opportunities. The FIE can regulate the sport without unnecessarily limiting its growth. To be clear, the letter does not announce new sanctions, and the regulations allow authorization under certain conditions. Shouldn’t our priority be creating more opportunities for fencers rather than restricting them? What do you all think of this letter? Let me know in the comments #escrime #fencing #cyrusofchaos #la2028 #athletesrights

If you train for épée the way you train for sabre, you're preparing for a different sport. 🤺 Actual fighting time in a bout: Sabre: about 14% (men) and 17% (women) Épée: about 42% (men) and 59% (women) That's roughly three times more fighting. Épée actions average about 18 seconds, with work and rest nearly 1:1, where sabre is a 2-second explosion followed by a long rest. Why? Épée has no right-of-way, the whole body is a target, and simultaneous hits score for both fencers. That kills sabre's "one explosion wins the point" tactic. Instead you get probing, patience and long on-guard holds. Episode 4 of 7 in my series breaking down fencing through a sports-science lens. Part 1 of épée. Next: how I'd train for it. Follow so you don't miss Part 2. Sources: Tarragó et al. (2023); Aquili & Tancredi (2013); Turner et al. (2013) #fencing #epee #sportsscience #strengthandconditioning #athleteperformance
