You can't learn to fence from a book. But you can learn significant things about fencing from a book." The book is for those who have learned fencing by fencing with quality fencers rather than from a Maitre d'Armes who is trained to teach, not just practice, the sport. The book is very complete--history, techniques, rules, equipment and troubleshooting thereof, drills, refereeing, teaching, making a fencing dummy (though the author also mentions that he sells them), and so on. The book certainly justifies its name--it covers the whole range of information one might need as a fencer., ISBN13: 9780966803808 ISBN10: 0966803809 Material Type: spiral_boundYou can't learn to fence from a book.
