Customer Reviews

classic always good

This book is a good introduction to Foil fencing. It does have some dated pictures but the information given still serves favorably for the new foil fencer. It should be clear this book should be used in addition to current lessons being taken to be able to extract the information correctly.

One of the best

A simple and complete introduction to the sport. The text is a little dated but still accurate. Probably the best introductory book for the money.

A Sound Fencing Book

A REVIEW BY NICK EVANGELISTA:This book has been around for quite a while, and for good reason. It is a fine, basic volume on fencing. I recommend it.

A good basic guide to the sport

This is a clearly written basic introduction to Olympic-style sport foil fencing, with good illustrations. It is much more readable than most others, and is written for a U.S. audience. Foil is the weapon most often used to teach beginners, and though I am a sabre fencer I found this book very useful during my first year.
