Starting with the anatomy of the foil and how to hold it, this primer progresses methodically from the basics to the increasingly complex sequences of foil fencing, all of which are introduced in easy-to- follow illustrations. On one hand, this comprehensive and practical book provides all the information an absolute beginner needs not only to learn to fence but also to fence successfully. On the other hand, it is a valuable reference for intermediate and even advanced fencers, the refinement of whose techniques is an ever-continuing process.
The book concludes with an in-depth guide on the care and repair of electrical foil equipment, the mastery of which will enhance the foilist's enjoyment of the sport.

THE MANUAL FOR THE CARE AND
REPAIR OF
ELECTRICAL FENCING EQUIPMENT
With forewords by
President, Fédération
Internationale d'Escrime
President, Academie d'Armes Internationale
With the universal adoption of electrical fencing, knowledge and skill in the maintenance and repair of electrical fencing equipment has become a must for all fencers. Furthermore, an understanding of the scoring apparatus circuitry and the workings of the electrical weapons will enable the fencer to develop winning techniques and tactics. However, this topic is at best baffling to most people. Therefore, this manual is a welcome work, because it meets the above needs and is very reader-friendly, by providing easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions, accompanied by clear illustrations and troubleshooting charts.
