ABOUT THESE BOOKS:
The Military Fencing Masters Program, established in 1979, is where aspiring fencers go to earn legitimate degrees as teachers of the art of fencing. This internationally recognized course -- which covers all aspects of fencing -- has produced more than a few accomplished fencing masters since ts inception. It is, to date, the only successful long-term program of its kind in the United States. A comprehensive fencing training manual for both the fencing master and his students. The only book that includes lesson plans for foil, sabre and epee instruction.
There can be few people as well qualified as William Gaugler to write a history of fencing...he has both a deep understanding of traditional fencing instruction and the ability to read sixteenth-century Italian, French, and German...it is not surprising that Prof. Gaugler has written an erudite and well-ordered book that documents the evolution of fencing technique in a way not attempted since Egerton Castle's Schools and Masters of Fence more than one hundred years ago.(Publisher).
