Amazing touch #2 & #3 - jump to 3:25 and 5:32:
My how the game has changed! In 1988, electric saber was fenced for the first time in the US at the Saber World Cup:
* You could cross your feet going forward.
* If you retreated across the two meter warning line, halt was called, you moved back up to the 2m line, your opponent took distance, and action was resumed.
* There were no reffing hand signals.
* The short run-off space at the end of the strip is a little terrifying (3:24)
(Incidentally, 1988 is also the year in which I started fencing!)
For comparison, how about the Saber World Cup from 1996 or 2011? Just a few changes in the game and technology!
