1.0 out of 5 stars
Much poor advice., September 23, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Fencing to Win (Hardcover)
There are too many good fencing books on the market to waist your time and money on this one. Although an experienced fencer could get some useful information, it is riddled with too much misinformation and poor advice to make it useful to the beginner.

Good advice interspersed with not so good advice., July 8, 2001
This review is from: Fencing to Win (Hardcover)
For the most part the book is easy to follow and entertaining, but not terribly thorough and EXTREMELY TENDENCIOUS (some very questionable stuff is said with great aplomb). There is a decent section on footwork for the beginner-to-intermediate and some interesting tactical advice. The sabre section is nearly 10 years out of date (fleche and all). Don't buy this if you are planning to be in the next Olympics, but if you are a recreational fencer with a little bit of experience have a look.
