Fencing Swords and Simple Weapons

Welcome to our book catalog page for fencing swords and close contact weapons books.
This catalog page has books about the art of sword fighting, dueling, and hand to hand combate weapons and techniques.
To defeat an opponent, a fencer must use mind and body together to anticipate attacks, carefully observing the opponent, making proper contact with the blade, and combine strategy with technique.
Often thought of as an activity just for swashbuckler actors in medieval movies or an elite few, fencing is actually an ideal sport for people of all ages. Fencing develops dexterity, endurance, flexibility, grace, and overall fitness, while also allowing participants the opportunity to hone the mind's problem-solving abilities. It is easily learned and practiced by both young and old, men and women, boys and girls.
This is a sport that can be enjoyed everyone.
