And yet that's what "sport fencing" has become: just make the light go on.

We had an Olympic-ranked epee instructor yell at his son the other night at the Club because the son (Junior Olympic ranking) was acting "...inappropriately and YOUR NOT FENCING!!!!" Junior was acting like the guys in the first film.

If you can't be polite and respectful while (virtually) impaling your opponent then civility, I say, is dead! Of course, rushing to be virtually impaled seems at least to me to be pretty darned stupid.
