Good foundation textbook for learning to coach fencing. It contains a very interesting discussion on the merits of the "old" method with the new. It's starting to show its age a little but a must read nonetheless.

A star has been lost given the terrible translation which renders the book dry and sometimes difficult to comprehend.

A little dated, but it's amazing how much still remains accurate across the years.
