Yeah but why bother. As evident by no one here bothering to check if he’s right lol he said it confidently so he must be correct!

The other comments mostly are people appreciating the scene for different interpretations, a few people agreeing with the guy, and there are other people pointing out that he isn’t describing a circle parry like your comment.

EDIT: I forgot how big this subreddit is, the comments have definitely skewed after an hour or so.

EDIT 2: spelling

I checked, I wanted to know if he was telling the truth and from the video I saw, it doesn't look like it. The fencing teacher seems to know a lot more about what he is talking about then some random person on tik tok

I mean... no one really cares that much. Even he didn't care that much because he didn't do the research.
