This video, available in both VHS (listed by the director, Bill Myers) and DVD (listed by the instructor, Michael Bradley) formats, offers a very useful and clear introduction to essential (foil) fencing techniques. Some of the information is wrong (points are no longer scored against the receiver, but for the toucher), and others I disagree with (his en guarde stance is more epee than foil), but most of the instruction is very good, and the quality is also good. Overall, this is the best instructional video I've seen for fencing, and I wish there were more like it.
Great Basic Fencing Instruction DVD
I thought this was a great DVD for beginning fencers. It was basic - but not boring. It covered many aspects that I have seen taught in fencing classes that I have attended. I wish there were more videos/DVD's like this one.
