Magnum Libre d'Escrime "You can’t learn to fence from a book, but you can learn significant things about fencing." Written for the average American fencer, this 271-page text has gotten "must buy" reviews from the British and Dutch fencing federations as well as by current president of the American Fencing Coaches Association (the USFA does not review fencing texts). Included are sections on history, pedagogy, tactics, directing, repair (Dr. Volkmann’s celebrated repair manual is one of the sections), and the plans for a fencing dummy. The main part of the text, though, is a highly illustrated encyclopedia of all the moves used in foil fencing, which includes the theories behind the moves and positions, and detailed explanations of what goes wrong when trying to learn them. Just the section on stance, advance, retreat, lunge, and recovery types take over thirty detailed pages ... Read more

Product Description

Same quality set of supporting parts as PC F 500, but the advantage is that the blade is European-made and keeps its form. The result of a better blade is that the foil maintains its balance and feels so that anytime you pick it up, your hand recognizes it. You can depend on it without a second thought or doubt. Or you can upgrade the guard from rolled edged aluminum to heavier duty stainless steel. ... Read more

The limitation of this low cost foil is its Chinese blade, which over time can bend toward the end and make it harder to direct to target.

Product Description

A more advanced leather glove for when the beginner becomes more serious, with special features to enhance electrical fencing. The good protection and feel of the leather palm is reinforced by a double-layer of leather over the points of greatest wear, where the handle meets the hand- on thumb, forefinger and lower part of palm. This glove differs from the Basic ( PC G 200) by having the lightly padded back of the hand covered with a rip-resistant layer of cotton which helps point of opponentâs blade slide off without setting off a light, a big help in epee and foil. The other difference is that the back of the cuff, further on, is not padded, and thereby continues the potential for slide as well as allowing the cuff to draw in closer and so present less target, while still allowing body cord to snake securely through. A glove with the good blade feel of leather, well thought out features, and very snazzy looking as well.Sold individually. ... Read more

Product Description

Though not well known in the United States, this blade is well- known and highly regarded in Europe where the top manufacturers leave off making their own, snap these up and stamp them as theirs. The blade is hardy, durable and distinctly lighter than the general run. The balance is a thing of beauty, a breath from the past with a lightness and direct ability like the best of the old French blades, (thought not so brittle) and a suppleness and give at the end like the Italian blades that havenât been made for twenty years. Not made in large quantity, care is lavished on them and they are finished by hand forging. ... Read more
