Epee Fencing: A Complete System

Rate this book
If you're a fencer, this book will take your epée game to the next level! It's a must if you're a coach! From simple moves to a masterful repertory of dazzling strokes and counterstrokes -- technique, tactics, and strategy. This is the definitive book on épée fencing for decades to come. Epee a complete system is an encyclopedia of epee techniques which add up to a treasury of actions and ideas to select from. Every attack, every preparation, is carefully described; then the parries used against that attack are analyzed, then the counterattacks. Numerous lessons and drills are included, and the book is copiously illustrated. The new translation has been acclaimed, and the original materials supplemented with a discussion of fencing terminology.

Vass is not an easy read, as it is highly technical and formal. However, it is pretty much the only (really good) book out there for épéeists.

Read it in small chunks. And then keep re-reading it.
