A comprehensive model of how to teach foil and Sabre, this book was first published in 1977 and remains the only full-length study of the fencing master's art available in English. Szabo transformed the methods used for individual training to meet the requirements of group instruction. And within its framework he found it was possible to begin the tactical training of fencers. This new edition includes a memoir by Eugene Hamori, a pupil who was a member of the 1956 Olympic gold-medal winning Sabre team.
