Dunno if its my machine or the site. I can get the clip of wheelchair fencing all right, but the two "Smirnov" clips are not playing for me. Anyone else have problems, or is it my machine/software?

I'll have to revisit the issues with the Smirnov vids. For now I've thrown up a mixed bag.
Room 1 has a (VERY) brief early clip of two foilists circa 1892. Everyone was still seeing what it was like to capture movement. (.mov)
Room 2 is an anime excerpt with two (more than) modern sabre fencers (with sharp tips?) (.ram)
Room 3 has a long trailer for Swordplay Studios on the West Coast, highlighting their stage work with lots of scenes from various Shakespeare productions. A bit long (about 3.77 meg) it has really good editing and soundtrack. (.wmv)
Everyone may not be able to see every vid since they are often in different formats as indicated above.

The early foil and the stage combat were very cool, the anime, however...
It all still looks like Astroboy and Gigantor to me...
I know, I'm old.

The theatre section has been revamped. I just have a couple of old newsreel samples running right now.
I will be trying to get vids of the final touches, etc, on some of our tournaments. If anyone gets a reasonably small mpg or wmv or mov file of some Gulf Coast Division, Texas or SW Section fencing, feel free to send it my way and we will run it.
I think the idea of switching clips every week or so to show bits from tournaments others have missed could be fun and useful.
It would also be good for those special "NAC Moments" the rest of us never see.

The Boney/Breedlove piece was a nice touch. I'd like to see more and longer of these.
Was that Delavoryas as referee?
I'm sorry, but when he steps right in front of the camera, completely blocking both fencers' actions, just before the final touch and all we see are two lights, I howled!
That must've been frustrating.
Nice hand signals, tho.
