Clear and practical guide to Fencing.,

This review is from: Fencing: Techniques of Foil, Epee and Sabre (Hardcover)
Brian Pitmans book is an excellent, down to earth guide to Fencing. He cover the three weapons, Foil, Epee and Saber that are used in Olympic style of fencing.Some Fencing books are to much concerned with the history of Fencing and often teach old or even outdated styles. In his book Brian begins, in part one, with the basic history of fencing, the aim of the game the rules and conventions and some basic warm up exercices, part two is about the Foil and part three and four are about the Epee and the Sabre. He covers the footwork the attacks and defences and the strategy of the game and the book is full of good advice about, not only how to get a good technique but also how to use it that technique in an efficient manner, in other words how to Fence well. My version of the book is from 1993 and some of the rules have changed (it changes almost every year) but the rest is still up to date and relevant. I have not seen a better book about Fencing so far.

A great book by a nice guy and a fine coach,
By Foilling Around "FA" (Nottingham, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fencing: Techniques of Foil, Epee and Sabre (Hardcover)
Brian was my coach for a few years and he was always able to communicate his ideas simply and easily. this has translated beautifully into print. The style is easy to read and, in keeping with a former British National Coach, it is technically and tactically accurate. This book is a permenant legacy from a very nice man and a fine coach.
I recommend it to both beginners and experience fencers.

By A Customer
This review is from: Fencing: Techniques of Foil, Epee and Sabre (Hardcover)
having recently taken up fencing, i needed a book that would help me with the theoretics of fencing. This book did just that. From essential basics like warm up exercises, to explaining the basics of the equipment used to the more advanced things we need to know, this book has everything you need to improve your fencing game. If your with this book, you will get far, if your're without it, you're only half the player you could be!
