Paperback edition of a manual by Ed Rogers, a coach at Heriot-Watt University, first published in 2003. It is designed to assist fencers, who may not have access to regular coaching, to work together to develop their own skills at foil, epee and sabre. Explanations of basic skills illustrated by line drawings are followed by exercises identifying actions by fencer 'A' and corresponding actions by partner 'B'.
All the training is stroke-based, usually conducted from engaged blades with both fencers stationary, which will assist fencers who are not coaches to give the correct blade conditions for their partner's practice. But there is little information to develop correct execution of footwork and mobility, a limitation for those studying for coaching awards
