5.0 out of 5 stars
Superb foil fencing book,
This review is from: Foil Fencing (Paperback)
Hi, I've been foil fencing for about 3 years at a club level.
The pictures in this book are clear, and the entire book is information rich, meaning you won't get a lot of extra words on the page unless it is dense with pure fencing instruction. Highly recommended, especially since most other books are not foil fencing specific.
