This video by Holly Buechel highlights the speed and grace of fencing in this B&W short film. Speed of Fencing long version from Holly Buechel on Vimeo. Watch for examples of how much the blades move with even standard actions. CCNY Says: Realized in slow motion with high-speed photography, Speed of Fencing allows the viewer to appreciate and see what happens in the mind of a trained fencer. After watching that, check out this neat photographic technique showing a lunge in action via the forums.
