Fencing and the Master

by László Szabó

Fencing and the Master is abeloved, unique classic that distills the fencing wisdom of the twentieth century.

Of great and lasting value. -- Robert Scranton, President, USFCA The most complete book on the teaching and learning of fencing I have ever read. -- Dick Oles, Head Coach, Johns Hopkins. More great coaches have stolen ideas from this book than any other! George Edward Kolombatovich, Fencing Coach, Columbia University.

Szabo's book lays out the tools and techniques of coaching, but more than that, it opens up the heart and spirit of a maestro. Copiously illustrated. Supplemented with a discussion of fencing terminology and with a new memoir of Szabo by his student Eugene Hamori, Olympic medalist, US sabre champion, and distinguished coach.

If you want to be a fencing coach, read this book. Revolutionary.

[Taro Yamashita · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's a little dated in some regards, and favors sabre instruction, but is still tremendously useful.
