Miles Chamley-Watson takes fencing to New York City streets (video)

Miles Chamley-Watson may be an Olympian and World champion, but many people with those titles can walk the streets of New York unrecognized.

It’s a different story when he’s in competition uniform.

Chamley-Watson showed just how useful his fencing training, stances and equipment — especially his foil blade.

The 29-year-old Chamley-Watson just missed an Olympic medal three years ago, finishing fourth with the U.S. foil team in London. He also fell in the round of 32 in the individual foil.

Chamley-Watson, a 6-foot-4, tattooed model, rebounded to win the 2013 World Championship individually.
