[ID: video from an epee competition.]

Footage from the RFF challenge! Lots of fencing here - some of a Soren Thompson bout around 3.30, and of course tons from the French team (Grumier’s my favorite). There’s quite a bit of the Thompson - Grumier bout too, and the Lucenay - Jae Song.

(Also in the finals people keep falling off the platform - I always wondered if that happened.)

This has everything I want out of a fencing video - epic bouts, training montages, go-kart racing, and a dude in a bunny suit. Rock on.
