Shows the basics well February 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This video is very practical for the beginner, it covers the most basic elements of the sport, and provides specific instruction and details on basic fencing techniques and terminology.
However, the filming style and narrative techniques leave little to be desired.
Shot with a single camera in a gymnasium, we follow the lessons from our instructor who is clearly qualified to teach, but is not an engaging host.
There are some sound and lighting glitches that give the film a very homemade quality.
This is a practical video for those who want to see specific drills and tips for actual fencing.
Definitely for the beginner...but this is what it aims at.

This is a very informative video that explains the basics of fencing. The instruction is fast paced and very well packed with information.
There was on problem though. For some reason my DVD player built into my television would not read it. But I gave it to a friend and he viewed it with his DVD player, and later I bought another DVD player, that didn't read it the first time I tried but read it the second time.
Old but still useful July 22, 2007

This information was very very old. The video was very amaturish, and I have seen better. However, for a beginner, and someone not the least familiar with the sport, it is an introduction. Not a good one, but at least they have the idea and basics. At least they can see what is being taught as opposed to looking at a picture in a book. I would not buy it again, or recommend it to a student.
Very static May 12, 2007

Fencing students will get more understanding from various perspectives. This video does not have enough footwork detail, arm positions, wrist detail, posture, and other subtleties the fencing student needs to be aware of.
 terrible, almost useless April 12, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
A dated effort with terrible production quality. Comes off as smarmy and cheesy. Accurate information but the same amount of knowledge you would get in your first 1-3 hours of basic group introduction. Only useful if you want to look like you know what you are doing in the beginners class, otherwise completely unnecessary. I wanted to like this very much but was sorely disappointed.
